Unless he does it independently, they wouldn't be hearing any of it. Devs don't care what they can do. They only care what you do. If there's no way to prove it, you won't get the time of day.

A handful of quality javelins and archers from two disparate regions does not a missile-heavy army make. Thrace gets cut off, or Crete gets cut off, and you lose your source of missile troops. Same...

The problem with the thread question is that it's too broad. Roman or Greek how? In terms of language? Religion? Government? Architecture? Military? The Greeks in the East always spoke Greek,...

The phalanx was extremely useful in combined arms situations (as support for missile infantry) but biggest weakness the Greeks had was that their missile infantry was quite poor. Hoplite and...

From the sources I've read on Byzantine military structure, the psiloi were poorly trained, poorly equipped skirmishers. The term "toxotai" is somewhat difficult to pin down since it literally...

I'll say neither. Roman cultural hegemony still dominates western culture. What did it mean, in the age of Christianity, to be a Roman? You spoke Latin or Greek and worshiped the God of Abraham,...

The reasons for the Roman collapse aren't as simple as sweeping reasons or bullet points. It's an excellent model for why a civilization eroded but a very complex one. It can really be regionalized....

This. The Chicken Little attitude that many other hardcore fans have is really off-putting. The game made CA a ton of money, and EA by proxy. It's been a critical success and done extremely well with...

Or make it so that guys who get sent flying/knocked down are killed. I liked M2TW's physics system where no matter how light a cavalry unit was, and how heavy the infantry they fought was, if they...

I'd like if they released some factions that don't have the Greek culture.

Useless spam post is useless. Anyway, the horse archers aren't weak, but I think making their speed advantage more visible would be nice. Exhausted Arverni noble horses outran (didn't catch from bad...

Certainly true. That was the original purpose but their slow speed meant that catching lighter cavalry would prove difficult, so they became adapted more for battling against infantry arranged in...

That's the problem, IRL cataphracts were NOT a charging cavalry unit. Cataphracts were employed primarily as brawling cavalry who broke through infantry lines and then used their leverage advantage...

I truly love yellow journalism, in all its ridiculous, incompetent glory.

...So I took my client states and made them your client states after you declared war on me and my client states and made me a client state!"





...anyone else really like this feature? Maybe...

In my Egypt campaign, Carthage has been reduced to holding Sardinia and the western part of Sicily. The actual city of Carthage was a total hot potato that just kept jumping between factions, until...

Not technically mine, but I have a hard time not giggling when I look at it.

The map is huge, and so is the number of regions. Certainly more impressive in that sense than any of the other Total War games, I think.

I don't see what's so bad about Steam. It's been pretty polished for a while. Not to mention that using steam also makes it infinitely easier for mod clients to exist (Nexus Mod Manager, anyone?).

EWT was really embarrassing. The wretched soundtrack, ugly/clone units, broken diplomacy and handicapped AI. It was turned into a serviceable game but I've never before (or since) blushed while...

Urban development/settlement management, character skill management, domestic politics, army/navy limitations, culture system and diplomacy all have much more to them. Shogun 2 was a fun game, but...

Assuming a lot of it is optimization for rigs using AMD GPUs. There will probably be a fix for ramming ships getting tractor beamed by their targets, too.

How many people do you have enslaved? A large slave population is much more likely to lead to slave revolts.

Much better. Empire had a horrendous diplomacy system at launch that was nearly impossible to use, most units were completely worthless, and had terrible unit pathing. Rome II is an infinitely more...

Don't attack anyone. If you didn't like the game, don't buy the next one. If you don't like CA and their games and buy them anyway, you're a sheep and a hypocrite. As for me, I thoroughly enjoy this...

IF there's anything that being a pro wrestling fan has taught me, it's that hardcore fans screaming till they're blue in the face represents a tiny minority of the fandom.

Mass Effect 3 says "Hi."Go look at the profiles of the people reviewing. They're more of the idiots who dole out 10s or 0s.Give this game a 7? I can buy that. An 8? I can buy that. A 6? A 5? Sure.A...

IIRC confederations are the barbarian trump card to unite with factions within the same cultural sphere that are not at war with you. You offer it to another faction, and if they accept, they're...

Armenia, Persia, the Etruscan League, Syracuse, some kind of Scythian, and definitely Axum. I would love to build a truly African empire, something most games don't really allow.

Why does everyone think Seleucids are going to be such a big threat? They have way too many clients for their own good, and will likely be split up across multiple fronts against multiple factions...

To be fair, most of the videos we've seen (aside from Rally Point) are of what is clearly outdated material, as given away by mismatched UIs.

Seeing as how we've seen various differing builds of the game, trying to find any consistencies in the gameplay is a fool's errand, unless you look exclusively at the newest builds, which given your...

I like the idea of such an attribute but I wouldn't use discipline as a morale factor. I'd apply it as a factor that improves unit marching speed, reaction time, ability to hold formation, resistance...

Go with the GTX 660 that costs way less and still provides a lot of power. It's fine.

Threads like this are just pathetic. We get a video posted by some Russian nobody of a pre-Alpha build battle and suddenly the game is going to suck? In every other segment, it looked fine. it's just...
