I haven't had time to play the beta yet, but anyone have any comments/feedback about the improved politics and civil war? Are armies still magically appearing or do your own soldiers switch sides?

Hey OP, don't worry about those stacks. They'll take one or 2 settlements than sit around starving themselves. They'll be reduced down to 25-50% of their original strength when you reach them. From...

I totally agree with PeonKing.

As it stands right now, paying attention to politics is useless. The game doesn't give you that immersion of being a true Roman Republic when playing as Rome. Before...

You would think they would be doing a lot more with all those community managers they have. It seems like a sweet job though, getting paid to write a quick forum post once in a while and make a short...

I can confirm that admiral bonuses are not applied to the province they are docked in.

Pirates and Raiders DLC is still the same price, doubt it'll go on sale. I haven't bought the mini campagins, so I might just grab them if they go for 75% off.

Maybe not next game or project, but I can see them announcing their next official expansion to Rome II.

Angry Joe's Rome 2 review had over 1.6 million views. Talk about lost revenue on CA's part. If the game wasn't such a disappoint, his review would have praised it, which would have led all those ppl...

I seriously did not know that, I thought we had to push down some special key. I tested it out and it works as you described. Thanks!

As far as this historical battle goes, it's on par to what...

Anyone know how he managed to move the units in formation without grouping them and choose where to place them? Check out the video at around 3:18. I would love to know that as it's the first time...

I agree, if we can keep the balance of power than there shouldn't be a civil war.

This is one of those things that really ticks me off about Rome 2. The random name generation makes it esp hard to keep track of family members and what not. I doubt this will ever be fixed by CA.

Hi Lucifur, I'm loving your mod, keep it up.

One question, how do you take those comparison screenshots without restarting the game? I want to do some comparisons myself, but I have to restart the...

IIRC Napoleon Total War had Winter running from Dec To Feb (2 different years). Don't see why it couldn't have been done the same way here. Fall of the Samurai was similar with 24 turns per year, but...

Here's to hoping they add this in with the next DLC :thumbsup2

Just like most of you, I have never seen a General rebel. There isn't any loyalty system, so I don't get how this would work. Civil...

Thinking about the civil war mechanic for the Romans and Carthage, I was wondering why the player gets to control what the other houses do. To clarify, if I choose to play as Julia, why do I get to...

I totally agree with this. Even if we squash one civil war, we should still have the risk of another one starting. This will make the late game interesting.

Before the game launched, I believed...

The unit cards are very in your face IMO, esp when you're trying to watch battles up close. I constantly minimize/maximize the unit card tab throughout the battle just so I can see behind them. I...

Seems like they only managed to free up enough memory to add in the visuals and need to optimize the game further to add in the seasonal effects. :laughter: They should be in the game by the time the...

IMO, adding in seasons now proves that the game was rushed and released way ahead of schedule. Was Sega seriously that tight on revenue to show to shareholders?... I never really believed the whole...

I have a similar issue with sieges. I'm using no mods. During sieges my frames are really smooth (40-60) but the unit animations and movement go at a slideshow speed from time to time. It just...

I think it's because mostly everyone is pretty much use to it. I remember that the level of unit detail was lowered for each setting when CA increased the performance for Shogun 2 (way after the DX11...

I agree. The DLC for both games seem more like Free-LC and it would have not taken the team responsible for this much time to make.

Don't know if this has been mentioned already, but maybe they can do an Enhanced Edition down the road. Like what CD Project RED did for both the Witcher games. Add in a lot features that the...

Thanks Brewskii.

Seems like they really narrowed down the type of victory required for Rome 2. So is it safe to assume that custom battles don't count either. It seems way easier to gain points in...

Yea I just found the link that let's you keep track of the progress. I read through all the promotional/marketing material, but nowhere do they mention what sort of victories. But it would make sense...

Based on the current "Make War Not Love" promotion on steam, we could end getting this DLC for free if Rome 2 wins the competition. They might have already figured out that Rome 2 will win over...

Sorry I gotta vote down on this one. I can't see it being any different than the current culture system. And as many have stated, religion didn't play that big of role during this time period....

It would be a challenge. Imagine this, you have a Roman empire expanding Italia, North Africa, Iberia, Gaul, Britons and a small part of Germania, your spread out thin across your empire fighting...

No clue if it will be better received. It'll just seem more believable rather than random stacks popping out of no where.

The Civil War in this game could have been done better if some effort was put into it. It would have been better if a certain percentage of your standing armies defected, esp generals from other...

Shogun 2 did get a DX11 patch with AA support after the game released. The patch came out late May from what I remember, which is basically a little over 2 months after the game released. However for...

In order to improve performance across all settings, I believe CA went ahead and lowered the quality for each setting. I remember something of this sort happening when Shogun 2's performance...

The way I see it, CA is trolling it's fanbase with this sort of DLC. CA has claimed that they are taking back feedback from the fans and trying to make the game a more enjoyable experience. I haven't...

I play on extreme settings except shadows on Very High and it looks just like OP's screenshot. Overall Shogun 2 looks better. The thing I can't bare is the jaggies in Rome 2. Has anyone found out why...

Hey I just want to point out that Rome II writes a lot of data every time a new patch comes out. I check the total writes every time a patch is released and it goes up anywhere from 18GB to 20GB. The...

I think we'll get a new political system... but not for Rome 2. Most likely in the next stand-alone expansion, which based on CA's history of releasing such expansions should be out Sept 2014 (1 year...

I'm with you on that one

We're most likely going to get the same sort of response we've been hearing since the launch of Rome 2. Hopefully some of the folks going to the mod summit will be able to grill CA and get some more...

I've only played the prologue and a handful of custom battles for the first 2 days. Haven't touched it since. I've planned on holding out on starting a campaign until the game is properly patched...
