Rome 2 Total war PRAISE thread. What you think CA did right!
Personally I like R2TW and I'm glad for my purchase. I've already spent many hours enjoying the game. Yes, the game has some flaws; there are already countless threads about them.
I think there are too many complain threads for a game as good as R2TW is. So I decided to make a thread on what people LIKE in R2TW and what they would like to see in future games. Which of the new features work well, what clicked etc.
Personally, I like the big map with the many provinces and settlements.
I also like the new province system, since it makes managing those settlements a lot easier.
I find the game immersive.
I like the simple-yet-effective agent stats and actions.
I love that veterans can train an army slowly, nice and realistic touch.
I like the way the campaign works; food, army upkeep, recruitment, movement, attrition, cultures, techs etc. I don't mean the CAI (while I don't have a problem with it).
I like that there is a hard limit on armies and agents (That is easily modded if you want to change it).
I like that the "Small" factions can actually own the game. You may well face the huge and powerful Nassamones Empire or Royal Scythia Empire, with Carthage and Rome being footnotes in history.
I also like the game's modability; I was able to mod squalor, food consumption, technology research times and double the hit points of units with minimal effort thanks to the tools of the community.
I loved that when someone asked about the rest of the 100+ factions, Lusted just jumped in and said "To unlock them, do X". I was astonished. All those functions that CA could sell in DLCs were given to the mod community by CA's Lusted.
