So they expect me to re-buy a 17 years old game which I already own just for better graphics and only 10 more factions which by the way they didn't even bother...

If you read the quote I linked before carefully you can observe that they totally avoided to answer about the unit caps, which to my eyes is another red flag. Concerning 3d models in battle we...

This has not been officially confirmed yet. It's largely an assumption of the community. We don't know yet if the limits will be entirely removed (as they should) or if they will simply raise the...

This looks like a mixed bag to me. The changes made seem to be a case of hit or miss.

On one hand:

+ graphics technically upgraded to 4k resolution
+ variety added to soldiers within units
+...

"Some people think that denial is just a river in Egypt!"
~ Zig Ziglar

It's really pointless to...

We've already been through this several times. You're in very deep denial. This is clearly a fantasy game and you're just denying the light of the sun here.



Actually, it does. Fantasy elements...

So these latest news have confirmed two old lies and revealed a new third lie as well.

Confirmed lies:

Lie number 1: CA has been insistently advertising this game as "the next major historical...

This Sun Jian video was like the final nail in the coffin for me. Now I've completely lost interest for this game. The fantasy aesthetics for the campaign map are now officially confirmed (it totally...

This is from the patch notes:

So instead of fixing the width limitation you just replaced it with a...

Shogun 2's setting is nowhere near as popular as Rome 2's setting. Shogun 2 also has nowhere near as many players as Rome 2 does. Shogun 2 doesn't have as many modders as Rome 2 either. There are...

That's not possible without campaign map modding. In my opinion the lack of campaign map modding is currently Rome 2's greatest shortcoming. And the 3 grand campaigns suffer greatly from that, as the...

Wait a moment. Daruwind, do you actually know how to add a region to the map? Or you just speculate it's possible?

Pretty weak trailer. That's unusual for CA.

After reading the details on steam one question has stuck into my mind: still no hoplite phalanx mechanics?! Seriously CA? You didn't do it for the...

That's exactly what CA did. They promised a historical game, but now they're delivering a fantasy game.



No, no, no. It's a fantasy game. It's primarily based on a fantasy novel, it has a...

As I said above, it's not the concept which is bad, it's that they're taking it to the extreme. When the game is so character-centric that when a general dies all of his units instantly rout...

In my latest posts I withheld judgement until we had more info, but seriously the more CA reveals about this game the more I lose interest. It looks like they're taking the ...

From the e3 presentation. Confirmation of female characters?

Ok, for some weird reason the picture shows up normaly while writing the post, but won't show up in the thread. So here is the link

Another interview with the devs. A lot of focus on characters in this one.

New interview with the devs. The big news from this is that they confirm there will be 11 playable factions at release.

Well, I do exactly what everyone here says I'm supposed to do...

Of course not. The whole pre-order concept in the gaming business is anti-customer, as the customer takes all the risks and the company all the benefits. That's not how fair trades work. Plus,...

The Records of the Three Kingdoms describe Xu Chu carrying a sword in the battle of Tong Pass. (Sanguozhi vol.18)



Not really. We already know that the romance mode removes at least the...

No, we already have two trailers and two videos with gameplay for romance mode (for a total of 4 videos), but 0 for classic mode. That in and by itself is a major red flag for those of us who prefer...

I watched a EU:Rome gameplay, which came out in 2008.

What's up with paradox games all of a sudden? Why are people trying to sell me on these games? I guess I touched a nerve with my criticism.

The 4:13 - 4:16 part of the video reminded me of this classic scene

Apparently, it did. :disgust:

We don't know if this is a battle from the historical battles mode or from the sandbox campaign. While playing a campaign I don't want scripted events like that happening out of the blue, they...

:doh:

How about CA officially confirming that it's primarily based on the fantasy novel "romance of the three kingdoms"? No other historical TW game has ever been primarily derived from a fantasy...

The cavalry charges into halberdiers in the video, not spearmen. It was the narrator's mistake to call them spearmen.

Yes, that's likely. However, we're judging what we're actually seeing, not what we hope we're seeing. At least I do. So I'm judging what the video actually shows us, which is the wall going down...

Wow, they're off to a terrible start of showcasing the game. Honestly, this was embarrassingly bad. It looks like a goofy parody.

0:37 Cao Cao pronounced wrong. That's ok by youtubers and...

The latest news has strongly raised some big red flags to me.

I'm proven right, as CA has officially confirmed now that this is primarily a fictional/fantasy title (as it's based on the fantasy...

Because:

1) it's cut content (it's cutting content which is already in the game out of the game by locking it behind a paywall) and that's completely unacceptable

2) it re-charges you money...

Update: looks decent, but if implemented badly it could potentially harm the game. We need more details on the role of women in each culture.

DLC: shameless, lazy cashgrab that does way more...

Sorry in advance for the wall of text, but I'm replying to several posts here.



No, they aren't fiction, they are historical reality. You're just ignorant about them.

Screeching women:
...

These are historical inaccuracies, not fictional elements. All these existed in real history in one way or another, just not as portrayed in vanilla RTW.



This is a historically accurate...

Their trailer said so too.



This is advertised as a historical game. Fictional events, fictional characters, fictional weapon designs of magic weapons and all the other stuff from a fantasy...

Fan's post officially approved by CA, a few days later

Thank you. Coming from you, this is a compliment.



But here's the problem with that: if the game has fantasy elements as you say, then it's a fantasy game by definition. I have no problem...
