Romania

Faction Overview	CtW Information
Unique Units	National Bonuses

Gameplay

In history, Romania was a reluctant ally of the West, and did not join the Axis for as long as it was not politically or militarily isolated from the rest of the Allies. Technologically backward and industrially underdeveloped, Romania soon found itself easy prey in the closing years of the Second World War when facing a rejuvenated Soviet war machine following the victories at Stalingrad and Kursk.

As a player using Romania, you will need to keep this in mind, and use your strengths to prevent the same, through strategic placement of your fortresses which unlike other factions do not need Homeland Security in order to be used.

Strengths	Weaknesses
Ideal for early border rushing. Stronger cavalry means a more offensive early-game style. Wealth gathering bonus	Technologically backward, lacks proper anti-armour units. Highly dependent on defensive diplomatic and military strategy Strategic inflexibility
