ROME 2: More than 20 units confirmed?

[STELLover]

Okay, so I took the liberty of counting the # of battalions/units in one of the new pictures:



If you count the pink dots, you can see there are more than 20...

...and even if I DID over count one, I think the number of distinct units is safely over 20

Plus, we don't even know if that is the ENTIRE assaulting army in the screen...






P.S. Or maybe this is multiple armies together?

[Erwin Rommel]

Do you have FOTS or is even aware of FOTS?

[STELLover]

Yes.. I am aware.... but the classic 20 Unit limit was a feature everyone was wondering about in Rome 2

[SughdianWarrior]

This is a scripted battle. They could put 50 units if they wanted. Nothing is confirmed unless someone from CA says anything.

Most users here probably didn't even bother looking at FOTS because it is an Asia based game.

It's funny how all it took was a single game to bring out all the xenophobia and ignorance in some people.

Boohoo, they did a game that wasn't generic European stuff, man up and deal with it, diversity is a good thing.

I was actually mocking the xenophobes down here.

do you know, or are you even aware, that when people say "more than 20 units" they mean in a single army?

NOT over multiple armies?

[Erwin Rommel]

The "20 units" term imply that you command 20 units at any given battle as the norm when in FOTS its now possible to command 40. AFAIK. Unless of course I forgot some memo stating otherwise.

but the classic 20 Unit limit

Shogun 1 had 16 if I remember.

Shame. They are missing something awesome. Even without the interest on the period.

I'm sure Shogun 1 had 20 units.....

[Erwin Rommel]

I'm sure Shogun 1 had 20 units.....

Well. Sorry to contradict but its not. 14 units, shown here and room for 2 more. Simple math makes that........16 units.

oh. my memory was wrong then.

[|Sith|Galvanized Iron]

M1TW for sure had 16 units anyway, so I bet Shogun 1 had same since they used same engine.

[Shaio]

Are we even sure its a real battle and not some cinematic scripted battle they made to take screenshots from?

[cevap]

In an interview I think they mention that theyre not necessarily go above FotS 40 unit limit so I think that at least theyll stay here

Well I think it would be better to have larger units instead of more units, just needs some clever solutions for pathfinding and javelinthrowing...

[cevap]

Youre in luck larger units are confirmed (not 100% sure but pretty close). I know ships will have more ships per unit, but I also think they mention more men per unit as a way of making the battle bigger without making it a burden to manage

[AngryTitusPullo]

Shogun 2 post FOTS is the best. A single stack is up to 20 units and manual control in battle is up to 2 stacks which is 40 units.

Not too few and not too many.

If the engine can be better optimized for naval battles then I hope we can have 20 again per stack like in ETW.

However if I read correctly that a single unit card for ship will be represented by 3 units in battle then 10 is enough. It's hard enough to control 20 ships but with 30 ships but only controlling 10 then I believe it's just nice.
