So many regions ;_; so many factions, I like it. I just wish I could zoom.
Anyways, here's my planned campaign

People don't realize how much time and effort they put into this game because their to worried about trails and AI from a crappy demo (understandable) there are so many factions with their own units, and tech trees and merging options. Call me a fanboy or "flame" me Idc I give alot of credit to CA for how deep and diverse this game goes

Some things to add:

1. Wasn't Sardinia considered the rich granary of mediterranean? Nonetheless no grain resource?
2. I thought Spain was rich of silver (or was it gold) and this was one of the main reasons for Carthages expansion to get those mines. But I can't see any silver resources there sadly?
3. It would be superb if you can add the feature that resources/wonders are visible on the whole map, maybe through symbols. This would help planning the expansion of your empire a lot.
4. Is it possible for main factions to absorb client states? I.e. Carthage seems fully surrounded by clients and won't control a connected territory, because of all it's client states already ruling over north africa. And it seems a little bit odd to be forced to conquer your own clients.
5. Overall Carthages starting points now look very strange and mazy. Wouldn't it be better - and more logical - to give Nova Carthago all spanish regions and therefore Carthago the 2 North African regions? Would make sense (because why should there be a nova carthago in North africa?), also it would be like "new spain" in TW Empire. And Carthage would have some connected regions.
6. Will you add information on bonuses of the wonders?
7. Sea borders/regions are very hard to see, maybe make them slightly more visible?
8. Can you also add Allies/Client States to the individual main factions please?

Oh, thanks, did not notice that

A relief, at least!

OH, ok. I legitimately thought that that was lol, thanks!

Maps looking good!

Seems Seleucid have alot of client states; going to be interesting taking say Ephesus from them!

Also playing as Egypt, conquering a region to the left will be a must early game!

However, in the Let's Play video it seems the AI was trying the save its left flank. The problem is that it exposed its right flank even more and the whole line collapsed when the Romans charged in.

These problems don't justify people saying the AI will be bad on the day of release.

It is still disapointeing to see things like a unit who has no enemy on its front, a lot of enemies on its back and who do not move but just wait to be attacked on the back. Or the Ai that advance its artiellery until to collide its front line.

I understand it is not as simple to create a AI who can manage things like this as we player think about theses situations but on the same time it is the minimum to expect from an improved AI.

Then I would understand if the AI does not protect to much well its flank. Just putting one or two cavalry unit on each side. Sometimes I think the AI is just programmed to do too much and fail to do complex manoeuvre when simpler manoeuvre would have done better.

Pretty awesome. Thanks CA.

**Candy_Licker** · July 12, 2013, 01:28 PM

The faction symbols are indeed beautiful. Well done CA

I miss Batavians and Chatti, but oh well. Could be more tribes in Britain and shame Scandinavia isn't included though. And of course more Greek city states like Corinth. And Rome should have some socii as client states.

But enough of that, 100+ factions is pure awesomeness. Now I only hope that not half of them are gone after 10 turns.

Overall, I liked the faction symbols: they are not overly complex of heraldic, and they look antique at the same time.
(I'll quote this post forever!)

"Not bad. Not bad at all."

**Emperor Domitianus** · July 12, 2013, 02:04 PM

All the faction symbols are not correct. Note how the most important of them have taken inspiration from the mods for RTW1. The only symbol I don't like too much is the Rome one.

**eXistenZ** · July 12, 2013, 02:51 PM

Bring out a dlc for turdetani, they seem to start at war with whole north africa

**Pinarius** · July 12, 2013, 03:08 PM

I agree with Dyēus - the Marcomanni belong to the Suebi as a sub-tribe and in 272 BC this region would be still Celtic. Besides that, the Etruscans and Cyrenaica definitely have too many regions - it should be just one in both cases.
