You aren't just limited to Hastati, Principes, and Triarii. Radious introduces a staggering depth of specialized infantry. Want mercenary Balearic Slingers with Roman scuta? Yes. Want early Antesignani light javelin skirmishers who can fight in melee? Yes. Want regional auxiliaries that reflect the specific geography of Gaul, Spain, and Africa? The mod delivers historical (and quasi-historical) variety that makes every Roman campaign feel unique.

| Faction | Why it’s fun in Radious | |---------|--------------------------| | Rome | Gets even more auxiliary units; early armies cheap to spam | | Iceni | New Celtic elite units + very fast early economy | | Seleucid | Gains eastern + Hellenic units; pike+elephant combos dominate | | Egypt | Gets both Greek and Egyptian rosters fully merged | | Suebi | Radious makes their ambush/open-field play much stronger |

Avoid starting as minor factions (like Knossos, Colchis) – their unique Radious rosters are smaller.

Installing Radious in 2024/2025 is simpler than ever:

Performance tip: Radious is heavier than vanilla. If you have a mid-range PC, disable "Unlimited Video Memory" and reduce unit detail to "High" instead of "Ultra." The sheer number of unique meshes can cause stutter on large battles (40v40).
