  1. Re: Melee: Battlegrounds Kickstarter - Realistic Medieval Combat

    As a long time c-rpg player, I've followed this from the start and can say that the devs have really delivered on expectations so far.

    It's a medieval battle sim with a focus on realism.

    It...
  2. Re: Rome 2 needs the Yuezhi exodus! (the scariest Nomadic invasion of the period)

    It's pretty clear that the Tocharians were part of the whole Scythian/Sarmatian/Xiongnu culture, or at least it was the most influential external culture, so maybe a faction could be based on that...
  3. Re: So, who would you give the leadership of the Macedonian empire if you were Alexander in hist last hours?

    I'd divide it evenly among the population.
  4. Re: quick question on roman metal masks...

    Not positive, but I don't think they had a name.

    Arrian wrote a description in Greek, but seems to be long winded and avoids calling that part of the helmet anything in particular.

    Re: Marc Antony... Insane?

    Do you question the sanity of these people's objectives or the sanity of their methodology for fulfilling those objectives?

    I think Caesar was about as sane as it gets in both senses. Marc Antony...

    Re: Ancient Marine Armor

    There are a couple of armours like this around:

    Come to think of it, they don't have...

  8. Re: If you could save a emperor from death

    Since you're including C. Caesar, I think he was the best equipped to further the glory of Rome at the time of his death. He didn't mess around.
  9. Re: When and how often do you auto resolve?

    I usually play with my armies spread as thinly as I can manage. I can't trust autoresolve to exploit the AI every battle, so I never use it.

    Re: False Advertising on the Steam Store

    Well, the Metacritic link has gone from their Steam Store page, so it's not like they've forgotten about it (unless Steam has done that on its own).
  11. Re: The fall of Syracuse - Rome II finally in all it's glory

    I'm guessing you've never played multiplayer. :tongue:

    It looked to me like a series of catastrophically stupid decisions on the part of the AI. I'm not sure which part of its plan you consider...
  12. Re: Warscape engine is not fit for Total Wars anymore

    OP is a bit too forgiving imo. Curtain walls for cities were built during the 18th century and castles outside cities are not a modern invention. Feudal Japanese warfare did involve shields, their...

  14. Re: The truth of the meta critic user score 4/10 is pretty honest

    Agree with the OP. Metacric is the only review site I bother looking at these days. It has a tonne of independent, to the point and generally honest opinions that I can read through quickly and see...

  21. Re: Are all total war launch reactions like this?

    The other launches I've watched on this site have had primarily positive receptions. We're talking 20-30% of the threads being critical at the most, if I remember. That seemed like a lot, when...

    The slow testudo that covered all sides would be much more useful than the fast one that doesn't, both irl and in-game. It's an important part of Roman military history and it's a shame to see that...
