Hello Youtube, BlueMatona here bringing you
this episode of Game Guides where I will be

talking about which roman faction is the best
to play as in Rome: Total War.

For those of you familiar with the game, players
have the option of picking either the Julii,

colored red, the Brutii, colored green, or
the Scipii, colored blue.

Like the other two Roman factions, the Julii
start the campaign with two provinces, Arretium

Their immediate enemies are going to be to
the North, mainly the Gauls.

As the game progresses, the Julii will find
themselves in conflict with Germanic and Briton

While the Julii can also expand south into
Sicily and Africa, west into Spain, and East

into eastern Europe, the main focus of a Julii
campaign will definitely be taking out the

While this does provide an advantage over
the other roman factions since they will not

be facing phalanx pikemen or elephants, at

The Brutii also have access to some of the
best mercenaries in the game, including the

Cretan Archers, and can capture a lot of the
world wonders early in the game, which will

the South and West of Italy.

They start off with the provinces of Capua
and Messana and are immediately poised to

advance through Sicily and into north Africa.

Their main enemy will be the strong cartheginian
armies, and as the game goes on, Egypt and

While some provinces in north africa are incredibly
wealthy, many are not, and the elephant armies

of carthage poise a huge threat in the early
game before the player can train archers and

So while all three Roman factions have their
strengths and weaknesses, it is clear that

The economic powerhouse of Greece, coupled
with an opportunity to expand into Africa

and capture many world wonders, gives the
Brutii a clear edge over the other two Roman
