Great Mod, boring city managing.

[gaius valerius]

Great mod, by far one of my favourites, but I've been wandering one thing: what about the city managing? All by all the turn based managing of cities in TATW is kind of... plain. There is so little to do in the line of empire building.

Are there any plans to introduce more custom buildings in versions to come? (to make the world a bit more "alive")

I think theres too many buildings imo. Im testing High elves out i haven't expanded at all and im at turn 183 im still upgrading my basic towns.

wow your slow lol

I dont think it has to do with TATW I think it is a M2TW thing in general. M2TW isnt as bad as say ETW (that which shall not be named) but it def wasnt as nice as previous titles. Actually the best I've seen is EB for RTW. and I'll put my money on EBII having just the kinda city management and RP we want.

So... many.... acronyms....

But I would have to agree, there are alot of cities, and there is not really anything interesting about managing them, it would be cool I guess if there was a separate interface where we could see a bird eye view of our towns.

If they manage to add something similar to EB city management into TATW then empire building may be more interesting than battles sometimes ...

it will very nice to watch our towns from inside look,especially now,with the new buildings by KK,imagine how would Minas Tirith will look if we had the same choice like Rome Total war

I always thought that looking your city on battle map peacefully was pointless ... but now this feature would be cool ...

[Supermoler]

Thats Hardcoded to view your cities like in Rome:Total War... Only way is when a siege battle at that city, you can look it

How did you do it in RTW?????

[Supermoler]

Thats hardcoded, and cant be added to Medieval2... That feature is missing from M2TW...

yeah ... i know ... i was just sharing my thoughts ...

actually it can be, kind of...

you manually set up a seige, but make it so the enemy never attacks. That way you can look around your city.

my memory is a little fuzzy of the subject but I remember reading it somewhere on TWC, maybe in the Stainless Steel forum

[Supermoler]

ah, yes I would like that feature too... Rome has a lot of nice features which isnt in M2tw...

and vice versa of course

[dannyalex]

why did remove that option?

[Supermoler]

There was a button somewhere at city management or details...

[Radagast the Brown]

Yes thats true. Little to do and most building are not worth building at all. The most smiths and economical buildings dont bring you the benefits that make a difference. Why build a market for the 30 Gold extra?
In M2TW most money was generated by see trade, and you where able to boost your epire income by building the right buildings in specific cities. Thats what Im missing in this mod. Most income is generated by mining. specially the dwarfs in the late game have lots of money with mines in Moria and so on.

[Supermoler]

Playing with Gondor, at turn 45, my economy is very strong. City managing isnt boring for me :/
Mining is very small, but Trade and Taxes are making me a lot of money (already took half harad and Mordor)
