After trying 3 games with rome, I didn't enjoy the game for certain reasons:



I don't know that happened to garrison armies, but they were some of the worst and weakest units I've ever played....

I think that one of the problems is the crazy economy. The first years wages go up and down on a dizzying speed, after that you're just filthy rich (despite enormous, almost ridiculous seasonal...

To me it's the last of the inspired games of TW. I particularly love that you can evolve many factions by acomplishing the missions. If you conquest certain territories (following the history...

That's because of many problems:



Sea battles are unrealistic, and often boring and often tend to make jams of ships trying to engage in close combat.
Ships are in comparison terribly...

Historical battle score a total of 18.1K, Wargammer 21,7K. But don't forget that historical games are very old. ToB is one of the worst standalone TW ever made and had the worst criticism appart from...

The friendly or unfriendly relationship between characters sounds interesting. It's the only interesting new feature to me, but at least there's one. No interest on talking about classic mode......

The key is, ok if they want to release 3K or Arthur TW, etc, that's interesting as a fantasy or hybrid title, but for historical titles I don't want any of those. I'll likely never play TW warhammer...

As I said in other thread, if I want to stay positive, I'll hope that the future "recycled" games made out of 3k might be what us historical gamers want. Maybe then will I open my wallet.

I'd...

The current information about the game drives me faaaaar away from doing so. Probably I'll pick it in a couple of years when I find it very cheap, only after good historical overhaul mods are ready...

If you develop good features on a game, you want to show them with pride. All announced features are only for romance mode, except for the army composition (that I don't like much).

I'd be more...

About cavalry shock, don't forget that tw tries to represent big battles with less troops. That's why soldiers attack not so often, why cavalry has not that big shock etc. The bigger the unit size...

Escort units for your heroes :(
Only thing so far

Because it's really enjoyable. When a franchise that expends sooooo little on advertising or trailers and though are successful and get good user critics, that's generally because it's good.

I was...

I agree, but generally the game is totally enjoyable without DLC (which are better oriented to veterans by adding a few interesting extra choices and sometimes more micromanagement, which you needn't...

Again no features related to classic mod at all. Again seems like there'll be no relevant evolution on battle/campaign mechanics apparat from the non historical/fantasy features.

Even the visual...

You probably watched an europa universalis gameplay. That's a 2001 game. Don't take it as a reference. It's like taking shogun (2000) 1 as the reference for total war series. If you want to get a...

Absolutely agree! I think that maybe in 6-18 months there might be enough official patches and finished mods to make this game worth buying. I've only asked refound on steam twice in my life, one on...

Rome 1 was undeniably am enormous advance compared to shogun or medieval TW. One of the biggest revolutions in the franchise.

I demand no perfection, I demand improvement. For example, in a period...

First games were terribly unrealistic but for the standards of that time it was just ok. For example compare rome and rome 2. The units, and mechanics have clearly evolved. After the first cinematic...

Maybe CA should be countering the criticism with juicy news about the classic campaign. The key is does it feature good enough new elements and they're not ready to show? Or more likely there isn't...

Only technically. If they don't think those features are important or a priority, they won't and they seem too focused in new mechanics of characters. I personally don't dislike the retinue system,...

Asuming that hardcore history players want history simulation an progression towards the best simulation experience ever, this is the first game to get away from that tendency to realism that every...

I wouldn't bet all my money, but would bet 2 thirds of my money. TW titles tend to have only a few but more or less solid new features and I see too many romantic/character oriented. I admit that...

Maybe that point's out that CA should take a bit more serious research as many (maybe most) of the costumers want an actual simulator of the background. If I liked and played WTW I'd like crazily...

Any changelog page to see the list of changes? Can't wait to finish my exams and go on playing your masterpiece!

Trace the origin of the unrest and then try to plan building configurations that counter it.

For example playing Rome the problem was unrest due to culture difference (socii & amicci solves that)...

Rome 2 has a not so good campaign, but I find it delicious on multiplayer with generally ballanced (Rome is quite OP but many tactics can beat them) experience and great visual aspect.

Shogun 2 is...

I play rome 2 and attila with mods most times, but current games are at least worth playing and if I had no choice I could play it vanilla. There's a sufficiently respectful treatment to the game and...

Warhammer TW is specially targetting newcommers. So I think to some extent that it's ok to sell a dumbed down and a bit broken game, as most of the players have little or no interest in war...

So sad. Why don't they use rasengan or thunderbolt or haduken? That'd be cooler and bring in the true spirit and mature experience from Warhammer total war.

I hope someone releases a mod in which...

Meh. That doesn't make me wanna buy. Maybe if they recycle it giving it a respectful and serious treatment (for example khan total war) I'd give it a chance.

It would have been great 3-5 years...

They've learnt the lesson from GW. If you're unable to make a product good enough to demanding clients, dumb it down and nerd it up until teenagers love it.

Definitely won't spend a single euro on...

Not as bad as I expected but by far not good enough. Why don't the spearmen defend before the charge? Why do soldiers climb like they were anime characters?

The palette is beautiful, but very...

Not a bad idea, I definitely like the possibility of civil riots and uprisings but I dislike the way that public order works and affects the game.



UNREST: I think they keep it that way to...

C'mon dude, Shogun 2 is 7 years old. It was very nice at it's time, but lots have improved since that. Warhammer want to bring an RPG experience. That makes the overall strategy experience get worse....

Easy question: appart from an unexplored territory, what does the new game offer to the history oriented gamers? So my spearmen cannot do a basic shieldwall if they don't have the right general... is...

Modders are superheroes, but the games are very difficult to mod in key aspects. Overhauling the campaign to bring it closer to true grand strategy games is just impossible. AI is almost impossible...

That's the problem, TW warhammer fans are mainly warhammer fans, not TW fans. They want no complex mechanics (press spell button until the dumbed down AI looses all the troops ridiculously), realism...

Sorry man! there was not such a good internet bandwidth and I couldn't try ALL the mods I wanted (steams also helps to keep al those mods together an quick to download). I also played RTW in the...

Absolutely. TW Realism and TW Realism Anabasis were the most important mods and made those ugly armies with bright colours much more realistic, as well as many other mechanics. After playing them it...
