Total war rome 2 best ranged faction
Focused on (ranged) cavalry to the point that their most basic unit isn't a warband like with other "barbarian" factions, but Horse Archers. Hoplites and pikemen combined with more barbarian shock infantry, not much in terms of ranged units and cavalry. Good all around, with a few stand outs, like Falxmen and Chosen archers. Excellent skirmishers and light infantry and cavalry, but almost nothing that can hold a battle line for more than a few moments. Mediocre Infantry, no normal cavalry, but fearsome chariots. Throw huge hordes of Spear Warband at you early in the game, aided by Screeching Women and Night Raiders, but later gains access to Gothic Cavalry, Chosen Axemen, Chosen Archers and Berserkers, who hit with all the force of an elephant. The Germans: Spammer/Guerilla early on, Specialist/Brute later.Lots of mediocre warband infantry, but gains access to Chosen Swordsmen and Forester Warbands - the perhaps best archers in the game - later. The Gauls: Spammer early on, Specialist later.Average all around roster, with better cavalry than infantry. Mediocre Infantry, but can recruit cataphracts and chariots. Appallingly bad infantry, yet has some of the best cavalry in the game, with cataphracts, War Elephants, and horse archers. Best units take more than 1 turn to recruit. Good pike-phalanx units, good cavalry including cataphracts and war elephants, also good heavy infantry, although not cheap. The Seleucid Empire: Elitist/Generalist.Good all around roster, with heavy phalanx units, melee infantry, archers and the ever fearsome chariots.

Some of the best hoplite/pikemen infantry, companion cavalry, not much else of notice. Almost no ranged units, below-average cavalry, but increasingly heavy hoplites, including the super-tough Spartans. Can feel like a Spammer when fighting against them, since all three Houses will simultaneously wage war against you. Heavily armed and armored Legionary infantry (and to a lesser extent cavalry), huge array of siege weaponry, mediocre ranged units. Mix of light and heavy infantry, archers, skirmishers and light cavalry. Romans: Pre-Marian Reform: Generalist.
