...and the most impportant is... Custom Settlements!

Hi there.

I'm one of the guys making custom settlements for Third Age Total War.

As a old total war player, (playing since shogun), I can say custom settlements are something totally necessary.

The most, MOST, boring thing about total war games is that, no matter how far you go on the strat map, you will always meet the same boring generic settlements, wich makes the game to loose all the magic.

I really would like to see a campaign map filled with lots of different settlements so every battle will be unique and not the same "place your guys on the square and turn speed for 4x so this boring battle will end soon..."


In order to make the entire strategic map interesting, developers must implement region specific features, like units, resources etc... and the most important, custom settlements.

There indeed is a need to have varying settlements. As much as I love Shogun 2, it was a huge step back with the clone castles.

I loved the atmosphere on the city maps and castle maps in Rome and Medieval and the two previous titles but I think the time has come for CA to sort something new out

Well CA have made Carthage as a playable battle map, as they have shown during the press demo, so it's reasonable to assume we'll be seeing more unique settlements in Rome II.

Certainly would expect a few for the major factions at least one but you will be lucky if there is even a small village for the regions.
