Why doesn't it?
Why do they do this to us?

Can I make suggestions?
1- Toulouse is definitely NOT an ally or vassal of France in 1212. If anything, in 1212 Toulouse is about to swear fealy to Aragon IN ORDER TO protect itself against what...
"United" is too much of a statement. Leon, for one, never joined the Castile-Navarre-Aragon alliance against the Almohads, because of Leon's bitter rivalry with Castile. Nevermind that Ferdinand III...
I'm not one for concrete, gameplay ideas, but I can provide a little insight on what I think are the keys of the Iberian kingdoms in the year 1200:
CASTILLE: Castille's history is turbulent and...
Great work on the portraits!
If it serves in any way, Peter of Aragon's visage is difficult to recreate. The first image Google Images gives back in its search is a XVIth Century portrait,...
Aragon was a notoriously poor country, if you take trade away, especially its noblemen. Few noblemen were rich enough to dress lavishly (the Duke of Cardona and the royal Infants, mostly).
This is...
Aragonelicious.
I only have minor complaints about the naming and the choice of lords. The heraldry for the late Aragonese knights is well chosen, the Count of Urgell and the Baron of Montcada are...
So, this mod looks awesome.
I haven't tried it yet but I've seen some videos. If you've put as much detail in the Spanish factions as you've put in France and England, you'll make me a very happy...
Any interesting tutorial on how to mod cities with the Assembly Kit?
Nothing of the sort. Big flags indicate faction, troop type but they're also immersive and tried (sometimes) to be accurate. Small flags indicate the experience of a unit.

The problem is that we don't have any real foedus mechanic. We can't give Alaric the Aquitaine and make him our ally. We can't settle the Burgundians in Vienne, we can't even recreate the diplomatic...
Looks super nice, I can't wait!
I'd be more thankful if they recovered parts of what made Rome I great and Rome II gamey: characters and units grow not with a skill tree the player chooses, but through their own actions. Have a...
Hephtalite Huns should appear and bash the Sassanids out, so that they have something to spend their mountains of gold on.
Cut down the Hun-bashing. The first thread should be just the migratory...
I do that too, in fact. They didn't put much effort in making the Frankish leader look good. He looks just average. In contrast, the Alaman, Lombard or Saxon kings look awesome.
I've seen the argument about Cassiodorus making up "Visigoths", and I'm suspicious of it. Alaric, Ataulf and Theodoric were all called "Gothi", never "Vesi" by Roman sources, as far as I know....
I hope so! Thanks!
This is quite a slip from CA's part. What's the point of having a family tree if I can't see the others and plan accordingly?
Another very weird thing that happens is that whenever a family...
Since it seems we can't add new settlements to the map, what about making the battle maps of most of them as accurate as possible?
Antioch, Carthage or Corinth are incredibly inaccurate (probably...
I have the same thing going on. I thought it didn't copy at all.
Hi there!
I'm curious; the game seems to keep track of this, but I can't see it. I want to know if the guy I'm marrying my daughter to is heir or has any chance of becoming heir. How can I take a...
I also think it's a bad idea. I think the game includes a wiki and this wiki explains the abridged history of all the settlements and cities.
But the Hippodrome is already in Constantinople. Play a custom battle in the Constantinople map and you'll see it.
That was great. I'd like that as well, it gave out a very visual cue of which units were the dangerous.
This seems like a huge, great idea, but be careful not to end up with Germanic peoples speaking modern German. I know we don't have certain records of old Germanic phonetics, but we do have Gothic...
Can you even give regions in the game through diplomacy? I haven't found a way.
The Easterling armor from the movie seem to be made out of bronze, or at the very least bronze or copper-coated steel. It's more golden than it is silvery. He can tune the gold down, make it appear...
Just what I was looking for!
Can you slow down the sensitivity of the camera?
I did that, but now the game crashes every time I start a battle. I think I'm not the only one who has gone through this, though.
The unit cards appear colored in the right way (I recoloured the...
Because it's cool. Let's be honest, Total War games are only accurate as long as it's cool.
Yeah, I've encountered the same problem myself. It's a pity, let's hope it can be fixed.
Of course Roman generals. Why not? Who else would revolt? There were very few (if any) "native" uprisings of "ancient royalty" since the times of the early Empire anywhere, not in the West, not in...
It's the thesis about the Culture of the Limes, the Roman frontier giving birth to a new culture in which barbaritas and romanitas merged. This then spread to the interior and the high ranks of...
CA should have taken a look at Dumézil's latest recap book "The Barbarian Kingdoms in the West".
In the last 15 years, Dumézil and other have lead a theory that is now widely acceped: Just like...
Hi there.
So I'm playing the Sassanids, and after a while I realised that all the generals and governors look mostly the same. The problem is that their turbants and helmets and robes all use the...
But these rebels are supposed to be rebel Romans. Rebel Roman generals that fight the Emperor, hopefully to become Emperors themselves. They should use some measure of local units, of course, but...
I like some (the Franks) and I hate some others (Why did you take the fabulous crown out from the Sassanid leader's head?). Also, I think the Western Roman Emperor looks average and not impressive at...
The "Dominion of Soissons" was never called that way in their own times. Many historians believe there's something fishy about Syagrius and Soissons, and some believe it's a historiographical myth...
In the grim darkness of game developers there is only business (and Warhammer).
M2 was rock solid in many accounts, but it still felt like the game had too big a scope, too ambitious a...
To be honest, while France was called France (or Francia) informally a century or so before the 1200's, it's Philip II who first adopted the title King of France instead of King of the Franks. So...
