When playing as them, they spawn at the very beginning of the campaign date, 363 AD, with the task of holding 14 settlements including Londinium, Eburacum and Avaricum, the latter of which is located in Gaul. The faction was made playable in Total War: Rome Remastered and has a faction difficulty of 'very hard' for a good reason. This is easier to accomplish in a siege battle, as even if they win the siege (which is highly likely) their general will be dead, thus disbanding the faction and leaving the city to regular rebels, a far easier task to deal with. If this general dies in the opening battle or is assassinated, the faction will be disbanded and all units in the army either disband or turn into local rebel units that have no veterancy or bonuses. The faction spawns in with just one army and one general, their faction leader. There's only one way to easily beat them, and that is to kill their general, be it in battle or with a spy. A siege is the best idea, as you can attempt to hold them back at the walls and cause more casualties before your units break.

Fighting them in open conflict is not advised, since without at least 2 armies, you'll not beat them in open battle.

This can be daunting to go up against, especially as both Britannic Roman settlements just have wooden walls and there's no way you can hope to hold them with whatever you happen to have at the time.

However, this army is a full 20 units, the maximum size of an army, and will have level 3 (gold) bonuses to either their attack or defence, with the other one being level 2 (silver). They will spawn as a large army comprised of Romano-British troops, which is random each time. If playing as a faction that's not the Romano-British, they will only rise up when a barbarian faction has taken Londinium, or at least both Britannic Roman settlements. They do get access to an incredibly powerful mounted unit, however, called the Graal Knights which is one of the best, if not the best, cavalry unit in the game, making it a powerful tool at the disposal of the Romano-British. They also get access to barbarian units such as Warlord heavy cavalry which generally acts as a general bodyguard unit as well as Foederati Infantry. They use a hybrid mixture of barbarian and rebranded Roman units such as British Legionaries or Coastal Levies which are just reskinned Limitanei. The faction is not playable in the original version of Barbarian Invasion, rather being an AI emergent faction to put another nail in the coffin of the Western Empire.Ĭulturally speaking, the Romano-British are a Roman faction, using Roman buildings and Roman general speeches.

While not a horde army per-se, as they don't receive the horde modifier or get free horde armies, until they take their first settlement the army is free with no upkeep. This army can be difficult to take down without a force of similar size and veterancy, and if you have that lying around in Britannia it's a mystery as to how it fell in in the first place. When this happens, the Romano-British rise up as a single, rather large and highly trained army.

The Romano-British are an emergent faction, only appearing when the Western Roman Empire looses one of its territories in Britiannia, usually to the Saxons who invade as a part of the victory condition. However, the Romano-Britons will not relinquish their way of life without a fight, and though they may lack organisation many still subscribe to the idea of a single leader at the head of a united Britannia. In place of Roman rule, a scattering of warlords and competing fiefdoms emerged. In 410 AD, Emperor Honorious even refused a formal request to help defend the vulnerable Saxon shore.

However, as Rome itself came under threat from barbarian tribes, the legions were withdrawn to defend the Imperial heartlands in Europe and the Romano-Britons were left to fend for themselves. Despite constant raids from northern Celtic tribes and the growing Saxon threat along the south and east coasts, the might of the Roman legions was enough to protect Britannia and allow its developing Romano-British culture to flourish. The Roman conquest of Britainnia gave rise to Romano-British culture, a fusion of Roman culture with that of the indigenous Britons.
