What % of great ideas here will make it in the game ?

**Rorarii** · July 17, 2012, 08:43 AM

Just wondering how many of the plethora of great ideas here in this forum will actually make it the game ?

I would say no hope, but when I read the interview and actually saw that they are following what we are talking about, I now say 2%-5%.

**Biggus Splenus** · July 17, 2012, 08:58 AM

Is this a joke? I'VE COURSE NONE

since when has CA modified one of their games according to what their community want? Not since I can remember

**Hanomean** · July 17, 2012, 09:00 AM

I had a 'great' idea, it was buried within seconds. I don't know if they'll pick anything up. If they do, it's probably not more than 0.05%.

**krisslanza** · July 17, 2012, 09:02 AM

What constitutes a 'great' idea is pretty much up to your own opinion.

**Rorarii** · July 17, 2012, 09:08 AM

I think if everyone could put their ideas in a online database with voting, people could easily view all the ideas and vote on them .. unfortunately i'm clueless when it comes to online databases ..

It hasn't but it obviously will.

Is this a joke? I'VE COURSE NONE

I would again disagree.

From the interview :

What the community wants(title)

Total War has no more demanding fan than those entrenched in the community, and Simpson's very proud of them for it.

"There's a constant group that push us towards more and more historical accuracy," he said, no doubt alluding to the theatrics of Shogun 2, which weren't to everybody's taste.

"We have a fight between our internal geekiness and the desire to put together a Hollywood spectacle, so those two ends of the spectrum fight against each other and we end up, hopefully, with a happy medium somewhere in between."

"They ask for better AI all the time (so they obviously know what are ideas and demands are)," he added, "and again, that's an area where we've worked very hard since Empire and have made a huge amount of progress.

"And we're going to go a lot further with that as well, until we start going well beyond what people are expecting and not just meeting expectations." (so they try to do what most of us vote or talk about, like they AI)

Modding(title)

"There's a whole group of them who want more modding tools (nice, so they know that we want a more modeable game)and for the game to be more open from that point of view," said Simpson, "and we're certainly working on that, to try and get as close as we want to what they want.

Where's the "None and I doubt think the game will be good" option? Cause I'm going off the more recent trend of TW games rather than as a whole, since the former seems to be a more reasonable way of predicting the future.

**cupoftea** · July 17, 2012, 03:45 PM

We're not the only community, and I'm pretty sure that most things we come up with will come up at the drawing boards, I'm going to be pretty optimistic and say 10%. And I agree with Rebel Jeb.

**Tim_Ward** · July 17, 2012, 03:51 PM

0%

**oppaiO_O** · July 17, 2012, 04:05 PM

what would be the need for some ca people to create accounts here if not to post and read what we discuss?... having said that i would of vote for the Over 20%, i'm very hopeful option though i cannot seem to be able to

.... whatever they end up doing is going to be awesome imo....

**♔The Black Knight♔** · July 17, 2012, 04:09 PM

None of our ideas are really looked at. Maybe some of our ideas might make it in, but it wasn't becuase ca saw it.

There might be a small chance that they will look around here, but that is unlikely.

**Bobz** · July 17, 2012, 04:09 PM

Depends on how you define great, some ideas I've seen already have been awful. Then there's the conundrum of conflicting ideas as you can only implement one or the other. Still I imagine some ideas expressed around the community will be in, whether thought up by CA or actually first spotted by a team member on here.

**PlacidDragon** · July 17, 2012, 04:41 PM

Initially, no ideas most likely. That is, unless they find a wonderful suggestion somewhere that they managed to entirely overlook while hammering out the design document.

**alhoon** · July 17, 2012, 07:19 PM

2% - 5% IMO.
But that's quite weird poll.

**Rasic** · July 17, 2012, 07:40 PM

I wouldn't say a plethora. There have been a few really great ones so far, with an equal or greater amount of really, really terrible ones. It's that way in almost every game forum. How many of those catch the attention of the 1-2 guys who read these forums and then leaves so great an impression that they decide to mention it to others or talk about implementing it.. on the generous side 1% of the ideas.

**Alkaline Earth** · July 17, 2012, 08:06 PM

I'm going to say 1-2% however, I do not think they are listening in on the community. I believe that these 1-2% will be coincidences and not CA implementing in community ideas.

Like maybe CA does have the map with all of Sweden, who knows, but they might do it so that makes one of the suggestions valid.

**Rorarii** · July 17, 2012, 08:39 PM

ok, most seem to agree - not much, if at all ... sooooo what's the point of posting "what we want in Rome2" ???

.. besides promoting this forum ?

This is not to say what Ca have shown so far isn't much, the opposite actually, it looks awesome .. but i was hoping this release might be the bringing back together of the community and CA

.. but if they keep telling us and we don't get proper modding tools then ..

back to the bad old days ..

How can you be sure that the feature you want which will be included in the game comes from your idea ?
