rome 2 total war faction specific buildings

Sanitation buildings are really not that useful to me.I decide not to build any other type of Basilica because it hurts my brain to do all the calculation and I don’t see anything amazing happens. It increases wealth from all sources, helps with public order, and boosts Tax Harvesting Edict. Basilica of Jupiter have all good buffs.

The rest Forums are really not that useful in my way of play. Cattle Trader/Slaughterhouse/Forum Boarium provides a good commerce output and Library/Archives/Scriptorium helps with technology development.Exempt tax for high negative food supply province when your faction is low on food. Additional Latifundiums (Farms) in minor settlements are also needed. Besides Circus, Delicatessen/Taberna/Forum Cuppedinis is a top prioity to keep food abundant.Circus is a must because it brings most public order and allows me to maximize tax rate. Forums can only be built in the provincial capital region and they are more powerful than other buildings, I always try to build them as many as possible.If you are playing Rome, pick provinces with good auxiliary units for military buildings, like Hellas with Cretan archers, Aquitania and Celtica with Noble Horse, Phazania with African Elephants ( African forest elephant, smallest of the three elephant species on the planet.) and Numidian Cavalry (ranged Cav).Also build corresponding Practice Fileds even though I don’t think it’s that useful. Build as many Basilica of Mars as possible. When playing Rome, I usually pick a few provinces with good local auxillary units to put all my military buildings.Build Forum Piscarium (Fishing Port) and Latifundiums (Farms) as many as possible. Because the food supply applies at the factional level, so I dedicated provinces with only one port or only two regions to food supply.For provinces with at least three ports or three regions, especially those with Wine resource, I built as many Market Colonias, Trading Ports and Shops as possible.You can build duplicate buildings in the same province but not in the same region.I don’t think slaves, industry, culture and even technology are that useful in this game. That is to maximize commerce while keeping the public order and food supply afloat. The way I played provincial management is the same as how I played Shogun 2.Some of these are based on playing Rome in the Grand Campaign but the philosophy of playing any faction should be similar. Though it’s unlikely that I will play through the whole campaign again, I still want to write down these tips that I wish I knew earlier.
