This looks awesome! :D
- ACTUAL regional recruitment with proper looks, without needing to mod separate unit types for each region!
- Agent management to reduce the tedium from older games
- MAP...
It was added with FoTS and has appeared in every game after that.
Not sure about Warhammer games, I haven't played those.
I am just hoping they finally fix the major family tree issue they left out - two existing characters from the same party cannot marry. CA finds a way to :wub: up every time it seems even when they...
Would love to see this updated for the latest expansion.
Since they've implemented this feature nicely with Rome 2 and Attila, I really hope Empire 2 has it too.
As in, Attila (even better than Rome 2) turns all people into "characters" that you can use...
Just popping in to say "hi". I've played and participated in many games here since at least 2011...but somehow missed this thread. Then I had a sudden rise in interest for tabletop RPGs, remembered...
This game needs: Population Mechanisms
This is a must in this setting. Especially considering it plays such a huge role in how societies function in this era.
Population should be a definite...
Count me in.
Welsh Dragon summarized it really well. I would like to add - you cannot make anyone get married simply at whim. They have to have gravitas first, i.e. they have to prove themselves to be a decent...
It was one of the biggest train-wrecks of strategy gaming at release. But today it is a very enjoyable game. A lot of features have returned (even if not fully), models look great and such.
...
They can't stop here. Family trees are still not fixed - you cannot marry party members to each other, or family members like distant relatives to each other.
These look absolutely amazing. I did much of my research on Mauryan administration, society and architecture rather than military, but it was great to see these depicted so well and accurately.
Back when this game was announced and promoted, it looked very different from when it was released.
I don't know why, but I loved how the game looked during previews. Just take a look:
...
You are talking about a company who couldn't even develop a unique main-menu model for Otomo.
I have always, and will continue to, hope for a Mauryan-Seleucid War DLC.
Now that marriages in the game have been made slightly more meaningful, they should add some randomly appearing children, who share the name of their fathers (or mothers if a female important...
Makes me wonder, is it possible to create a small mod to remove the general-to-province limits entirely? It is always silly how people won't breed until the king conquers a new city for them.
Or...
I didn't know that chariots could run amok in RTW, or even hurt your own troops afterwards. I guess I'll try this now.
And the problem with that is? :bored:
Many mods feature elephant...
Finally. CA should add Mauryan Empire and Indians into the game already. Long due civilization. :)
Both on an Alexander campaign, and on grand campaign. I'd be disappointed if the map didn't...
I've been playing this game for so long, I don't even recall how many amazing moments I've had. Here are some of the many I could remember right now.
I - Hunnic siege of Rome
...By 7 stacks,...
Is there a guide on how family and breeding works in this game? Can your generals have children if you marry your princess to him like in Medieval 2?
I wish I had a screenshot. My inbred king who did nothing his entire life other than sit in the capital (and only became king because his two brothers died in battle), lived to the ripe old age of 81.
There was a time when I used to enjoy this section of the forum more than anything else.
I personally feel that the high point of TWC was when Rome 2 was announced. Every part of the forum seemed...
I have to add, they could've added a primitive family-tree of sorts for monarchy/empire governments...yet they didn't. It is still the lame "Great King Ptolemy Soter is succeeded by random Meneptah...
Now that Rome 2 is getting some political overhauls, I hope CA can do a bit of work on making the Attila politics/dynasty game better than before as well.
I don't think I will buy this on release. Maybe much later when a major discount happens, but not now. There are many reasons I am not excited for this:
- CA will still go the stupid route and...
I am guessing the special factions' AI will be a bit scripted to go for certain things, like Rome would be intent on attacking breakaway Romans and Persians...barbarians would try to invade certain...
Usually when I had too many characters, old chaps who were not letting the younger ones breed and taking up valuable space...I gathered them in one place, loaded them up on a single ship, and sent...
As far as I have seen in this game, no. That's because all female spouses are randomly generated and taken to be from outside the family.
They also blockade ports and cut off naval trade routes, which can be a major nuisance.
Is it possible to create the historically accurate solution Romans came up with to defeat pirates - i.e. if...
I think someone should create a new game based on Shogun/Medieval 1, with all the nice little additions to immersion that have been added so far, with lots of internal management mechanisms to make...
Another issue is that India is obscenely rich and prosperous (which is historically accurate), and Marathas quickly conquer most of India within 30 years from a collapsing but grand Mughal Empire...
Do the primary characters (Augustus, Lepidus, Antony, Sextus Pompey, Cleopatra, bunch of famous generals and such) actually die of old age in the campaign?
I once read in an old thread that aside...
These are all just minor background code fixes, rather than features, I presume.
CA is quick to jump ship on their games once they run out of DLC ideas. I doubt they'll be adding new features to...
कोई है यहाँ? हैलो?
*looks upon the ancient empty room, gathering dust from being abandoned*
What an amazing list. It reminds me what a trashy mess the game was in 2013, a neverending train wreck of design decisions the game was at release. CA seemingly improved the game...only to again...
I agree completely. The voiceover was amazing, but the campaign itself felt way too linear and restricted for my tastes. The small map didn't help either.
This I think could be a great...
If the historical campaign does turn out to be Alexander, I am just hyped that I will be able to play as the powerful Nanda Empire (which Alexander, despite being a great general, completely failed...
This is amazing! I had been waiting for this day. Well done, Byzantineboy and team. :D
