Give a reason why you prefer Rome I over Rome II

[komisarek]

RomeII units and battles are spreadsheeted trash. The building isn't fun. The map models are awful. The AI sucks and a cherry on the top is that they've reduced modding potential in several ways.

Truly, terrible map models. Don't know how this game is even playable. Why would they ever release such an ugly game? /s

I don't know about Rome I, but I will say that I much prefer the battles in Medieval II because I can use the slow motion toggle to make them play at a very slow and comfortable speed, and with sound. In Rome 2, even using the slow motion, which is not adjustable as it is in Medieval 2, the battles are much to fast for me, especially the cavalry charges, and I just can't keep up with the tremendous pace of the click fest. Furthermore, in Rome 2 if one toggles slow motion, the proper sounds effects disappear.

BTW, could someone please tell me if Rome I has a way to slow battles down in increments of .1 normal speed as Medieval 2 does? If so, I will buy it and start playing the new Roma Surrectom/RTR mod.

One simple, yet very important factor for me;
I can actually play Rome 1/Remastered on my PC. I don't have the specs to handle 2.

Rome 1 is better because things like this are released 20 years later: https://github.com/MuaazH/RTW_SCRIPT...e/main/scripts
