Does it seem like Rome 2 has increased the challenge a bit over previous games? I remember playing the original Rome on hard or even very hard, but I'm lucky to survive a Rome 2 campaign's early...

Are there any must-have mods for Rome 2? Or have they got most things fixed up by the time of Emperor's edition? I used Darthmod for previous Total War games and that worked quite well for me. All I...

I'm using Darthmod right now. It's surprisingly difficult, but in a good way I think. Interestingly enough, the only reason I'm playing RTW right now instead of Medieval 2 is because I'm waiting for...

Sexy as a threesome with Kate Beckinsale and Keira Knightley. http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/5813/facqc4.gif

This thread is now about pie.

Is there a good mod that largely retains the vanilla game's design, meaning without all the replacement units, unified Rome, etc but that improves the AI, battles, and that sort of thing? Something...

Yeah actually I agree with you. Unified Rome is kinda silly since it basically makes them like any other faction, especially when you remove the Senate completely. The three family system was great...

I wouldn't bother with it. It's inferior to RTW and Medieval 2 in just about every way. Well, technically that is. I suppose one could argue that the old-school campaign map has a certain charm to it.

Sweet. I love these awful films. Next I gotta see Bloodsucking Freaks AKA The Incredible Torture Show.

Well, the first one could maybe have been considered erotic by some, but the others were just brutal. I don't think it's really intended to provide a fantasy scenario, nor does it.

If you want to...

Wow, someone else who has actually seen it. It really does kill any sort of fantasy. The way she starts crying after the first rape just makes you feel so bad for her. It breaks my heart to hear a...

Anyone seen this film? I'm watching it right now.
It's this Troma trash "classic" from the 70's containing a 40 minute rape scene, followed by a number of gruesome revenge murders. It's banned in a...

Ok, well I'm sure you guys know what you're doing. I just wanted to verify that it wasn't a bug or something like that.

Don't underestimate them. Like I told someone on MSN the other day, my first time playing RTW, I played as the Julii and by the time I completed my campaign, most of the map was split evenly between...

I know, but even if I were to somehow raise that much dough, I will have either completed or abandoned a campaign by the time 60 turns have passed. With all due respect to the EB team, I think 6...

This can't be right...
Look at the requirements for building this structure.

Will do. I was originally going to wait for the "big 1.0 debut" but it sounds good as is, and it's about time I gave this mod a try.

I mean is it refined enough yet for enjoyable gameplay, or does it still have a lot of bugs to be worked out?

Also, what patch is it based on?

http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/8700/bawlre5.gif Boo-hoo. Play something else then, or make your own mod.

Honestly, I picked the Julii because of their color too, and now for the great confession: The only campaign I have EVER completed in the incredible amount of time I have spent playing RTW and its...

Isn't RTR still based on the 1.2 patch though? I can't stand that save/load bug, because I micromanage a lot and each turn takes a long time for me.

Speaking of Spartans, I just sent the Royal Guard into combat for the first time in my game as the Greeks yesterday. Holy crap, those guys are killing machines. As well they should be, given their...

Whoa, I never said it wasn't fun. It was terrific, but I'm just a tad bit concerned that the devs didn't make it clear that it was entertainment only, and not quite historically accurate. Anyone not...

A unit of 240 just lost roughly half their numbers defending against about 30 horseman that charged headlong into the braced wall of spears. Not only that, my guys only managed to take down six of...

Where did CA get that idea from? Also, they sort of tried to pass it off as if it was historically accurate.

I'm playing XGM for now, while I wait for Darth to update his mod for Medieval 2.

Or do people still play it? I miss RTW sometimes, because of the setting, units, factions, etc. Naturally though, the technical aspects of it aren't as sophisticated as Medieval 2.

Thank you. I have to admit that's just what I wanted to hear. Guess all that's left is to make out a chassis, and then order the parts.

Ok well, what I've decided on for sure at this point is:

Single video card, but maybe SLI someday.

Processor...

Assuming I used these parts though, what would be a good power supply unit for this set up?

I'm looking at these two:

The wait is killing me. Where's Darth?

I think I screwed this thing up a bit about 5 months ago when I overclocked too far and it wrecked the temperature gauge. Also, I tinkered with the voltage settings a lot, but eventually set them...

First of all, it shut itself off sometime last night, and it wouldn't boot up again this morning until I reset the switch on the power supply. Then Windows locked up on me for no apparent reason, and...

Freddie, I'm going to take your advice. I think it might be wise to wait a month or so. From what I've been told, there are some big things going down right now, such the upcoming release of ATI's...

Ok well, finalizing my decision...any serious reason not to go with this motherboard? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813127011

Crusades themselves aren't evil. It's people like those cannibalistic pillagers who gave them such a bad name.

Don't forget that little thing called gunpowder.

Or you could have waited for them to address it in my thread posing the same question, posted less than an hour before this one. http://img112.imageshack.us/img112/5008/rolleyessarcasticgt5.gif
