What mod is that :shocked:?

These stand-alone games are the new expansions guys. Just like Napoleon built on the fundamentals of Empire, Attila will build on the fundamentals of Rome II. And like the old expansions, these games...

Arrow trails can be turned off in the menu in Rome II.

I must be going crazy, but I don't see a GEMClearvision setting in GEM_settings.txt, or anything that resembles it... Under which header should I find it?

Edit: nevermind, I got it. For some...

This has probably asked a thousand times already, but the thread is huge and the search function didn't help...

Which setting in which file controls the sharpening of the image? It's a bit too...

Great work! Will the new skins appear in the Augustus DLC campaign?

Any news on the Roman and Hellenistic updates :)?

There's already a thread discussing the announcement. Moreover, CA has declared not to long ago that they will never make a game with '3' in the title.

When looking at my Steam games, this only happens with Rome 2. I tip I found long ago was to go to task manager, then processes, right click on Steam.exe and change priority to high.

Did you start pc gaming yesterday or something? Steam has been around since 2003. Yes, "gamers" were "notified" by this (as if it's one mass of people that can be contacted in a single way).

And...

Oh hey, didn't know that. Thanks for the tip!

True, but counterpoint: you can't put slingers behind your infantry bullet sponges. But great points nonetheless!

Some interesting comments, although a bit different from my experience.

- I personally tried slingers on several occasions, but they didn't seem as effective as archers (damage wise).
-...

When fighting the steppe factions as Macedon, this is what I did.

Don't try to reach them with any infantry or cavalry (light, heavy, or missile). They will get massacred. Instead, recruit an...

I get that bug too, and only in Rome 2 with torches.

I noticed this problem too with the new update.

Great mod guys! I do get a lot of tracks that keep repeating themselves on the campaign map as Macedon. One song plays five times, and only then switches to a new one.

How does that work exactly?

What do you mean in custom battles? You can select both your army and the AI's yourself there.

In the campaign, yes, they do recruit artillery.

When you move your mouse over the public happiness meter in the settlement screen, you will get a breakdown of all the elements influencing it. It's should be pretty clear then. Major factors are...

He's not complaining about something that's broken. Expansion of small AI factions has been in every Total War game (the Milan empires in Medieval 2...), and it's part of the appeal of the franchise....

Every game gains and loses a lot of features, graphics, animations, levels during development. Sometimes you have to test things out, abandon them again, try something new, ... In theory, a game is...

Hmmm, not really a big fan of this. This, combined with the extreme campaign camera, gives a bit of an unpolished feel to the game. Perhaps toggleable submods like in the Darthmods are an option?

This may sound obvious, but all winter maps are white, plain and boring, and look like they have the same lighting. It makes every map feel the same.

While it's nice to have seasons in the game (but certainly not necessary for me), I really hate the idea of having to fight on boring winter battlemaps again. These are the worst in every Total War...

Hey Ishan, thanks for the highly interesting answers. I understand what it's about (technically), but I have to say it's not really a big deal for me ingame.

You mentioned we both had ties with...

Why yes, but "neutral" usually means "in my language, because I can't hear my own accent" :tongue:. For me, an American or Australian accent would not sound more natural or less forced.

Well, I found this:

Patch 1.2:

• You can now see settlements, wonders, ships on adjacent tiles when
going down to the battlefield
...

So which accent would you prefer?

Well I played with the new patch without checking this thread first, and I didn't even notice the new LOD. I'm pretty used to sprites, since they've been in every TW game.

That's something I was wondering myself. I guess the armour rating determines the speed of your cavalry, and how fast they get tired? Or does anyone know of any other factors that influence this?

26 fps is not bad at all for such a massive strategy game. There are FPS/third person games with a 30 FPS cap, and they don't show thousands of men on screen. I played the Witcher 2 with 25-35 FPS. I...

I don't really see a difference except that you zoomed out?

Keep in mind that they only added visible wonder in Rome 1 in one of the last patches. I'm not saying they're gonna do that with Rome 2, just that it wasn't always in Rome 1.

There is. Grass details, tree details, unit details all control the distance of, well, details that are displayed, and thus the LOD. They just decreased the distance overall.

Aha, thanks! And that's only for client states (no allies)? Are the levy units indicated with some kind of icon?

How do levies from client states work exactly? Do you use the menu for recruiting mercenaries?

Mmmh, interesting... So you wheel your missile units around the enemy? After first killing of their missile units I presume?

Now I think about it, that's pretty much how I played with Rome:...

Excellent advice, all of you! I'm currently ignoring the barbarians to the north, and they're leaving me alone. I took Athens and Sparta in a grand military campaign. Fighting other Hellenic factions...

That's from Rise and Fall: Civilizations at War, the last game of Stainless Steel Studios. It had some great ideas, but overall the game wasn't very good. You can download it for free nowadays:...
