I'm curious as to why you decided to lower the unit sizes and go with the 'feudal' recruitment system. Though I agree it's more realistic, it doesn't really translate that well into Total War and...

Awesome to hear! I hope we'll see something more akin to an updated RTR Platinum!

I think just the option to arrange marriage: random courtier would suffice.

Arrow towers are currently like machine gun turrets and need their fire rate literally halved.
Archers need nerfing, they're too powerful I feel. Maybe late game this isn't as much of an issue....

I fail to see what this has to do with the price of bread?

How many armies do you have firstly?

Simply try and make every province have some form of food and making it green. It will eliminate food issues through the whole game for you. I think too many...

Phyrhus never took Rome.
Hannibal never took Rome.
The Germans never took Rome.

You're right though, Rome could be nuked to the brink of extinction and still Roman's would never surrender...
...

Just like Spartan's never surrendered, until they did. I'm sure plenty of Roman's tried surrendering at Teutoberg forest, on the grander scale Rome pretty much won all the wars it needed to win. Rome...

Funny how history is decided by the victor, eh?

I think the Romans should be more accepting of peace when they're on the back foot because I didn't mind taking just Italia and leaving them with Sicily. That last push into Latium certainly cost me...

I can also confirm that by following the same strategy I have been able to pretty much blitz the Romans and currently have left the Romans with only Asculum and Ariminium. Even the Etrurians are...

It's just normal/normal. I take it up to hard in some campaigns but Epirus has always been tougher ride than most other campaigns.

A bit off-topic but can you vassalize Rome and reliably keep them?

I'll try and be a bit more aggressive. I tend not to naturally as the AI usually like 10 turns to build up if you want to make the game a bit challenging. I think storming Cosentia like you say is a...

The problem I have with this is like I say those troops are immediately taking hits due to lack of food. What do you do about that or do you just play through it?

Hello,

Since the latest changes I thought I'd return to Epirus for a campaign and instantly found it seemingly impossible to get anything off the ground.

I spent my initial turns doing...

The supply train should be usable from the very first basic building. I mean packing some supplies on wagons isn't exactly anything special.

The ships I always use for the transportation of...

Like this one is really minor, but can you change Armour Penetration to just Armour Pen. Just neatens it up and we all know what it means.

I wouldn't be against it's removal entirely.

Hi all,

So I was going to start a Carthage campaign later today and wondered what some starting moves could be. To keep it interesting I was going to avoid going to war for as long as possible and...

Yes, as I said Hayasdan is likely too easy. Epirus is a pretty difficult starter. Their army and diplomatic options is what I personally think the most well-balanced in the game though. Half the...

Epirus and Hayasdan maybe? Hayasdan is potentially too easy due to its large number of regions, but their weak early game will prevent too much expansionism, especially if you get into an early war...

No.

Attila is hard? I mean my archer garrison stopping 2 full stacks and getting 800+ kills was always amusing. I guess if you play vanilla then I'm not sure of what anyone can perceive as hard. Attila...

Meh, I'm not so much fussed about traits more so commands. It annoys me how Pyrrhus is only one star to begin with especially after a whole campaign of fighting.

Not a bug, just something that was missed by devs and never resolved.

As stated, set a time-limit for battles, if you're concerned that you may go over them in the largest ones then put it at 60.

Another feature that was chopped from the series...

When you go back to the likes of Medieval 2 and then play the modern games you come to realise that with the exception of the unit supply system...

I might give this a go. Develop my economy for a bit and then go to war. I think I'll only ally the Middle-men though for a time, until Gondor is taken.

I really want to try this! How do you make it difficult though. I mean aren't your enemies kind of all in front of you?

So I'm curious to find out what are peoples favourite ways of bending the story of Middle-Earth. Suppose I'm looking for new ideas.

I tend to play good Isengard a lot where through some smart...

Another boring edition of Warhammer... yay. The fan boys will no doubt tell us how they have no issues paying full price for a dlc expansion.

CA's most hardcore fans get shafted again as they pump...

Awesome read, really enjoying it!

The best system is that of People of Rome's. The reason why we will not see this ever properly incorporated is because CA have a much higher market when they dumb down their games and instead go for...

I imagine I'll have to replace the fan regardless so as long as I've got room for a GTX 1080 and possibly go down the water cooling route. I've never installed one before so if you have any...

It's a be quiet! Dark Rock 3 CPU Cooler. A video of it can be seen on here, as you'll see it's rather large for a cooler, can't deny it does a good job mind you.

My major gripe with it is how it...

Hi guys,


I've decided it's about time to once again further upgrade my computer. My only problem is I'm having trouble finding the ideal tower case as my own needs replacing because the Be Quiet...

What did you all really expect? You endorsed it by buying the game.

Warhammer is everything that is wrong with the direction Total War is taking, minus the innovation in optimisation and...

I'm not particularly fussed as long as we can move away from Warhammer. It's utterly clear that it has affected the development, media and launch of any new historical title.

That being said I...

I see,

Thanks Dresden.

Hello,

Running both EP and FoTE. I've just conquered Rome. Assigned a governor and been unable to use any edicts then tried to attack a settlement to no avail as it doesn't even give me the option...

I agree, it's very cluttered up the top of the page. All of these could be under one faction preview sticky.
