Update the Avatar Campaign
This has been modified since new information has come out in regards to Rome II.
Total War: Rome II Avatar campaign (AC)/Classic battle, lessons learned from Shogun II
Some observations I would like to point out for the next Avatar Campaign (for Rome II).
Allow a focus group to exist with Active players of the Avatar Campaign with separate forum just for Avatar Campaign.
- Beta test it particularly if there are 700 different types of units to test for balance.
- Allow resetting of specialty units.
- Plug Pullers get a loss credited to them.
- Debug camera, everybody gets it or nobody gets it.
- Do not allow people to inspect their opponent’s win/loss record prior to a battle. People become intimidated if you won a lot of games; they see this and leave rather then play it out; wasting a lot of time.
- Allow variety of Generals for classic battles, i.e. Melee, Bow, and Leadership depending on cultural traits.
- As gamers we should also discuss realism mode for AC, when a veteran unit losses all its men should it be gone?
- When modifying stats on units for balance, adjust one thing at a time, not like what you did with the Loan Swords in Shogun II.
- Keep the Avatar Campaigns separate, the same way you did with “Fall of the Samurai”. Example: Rome II, Rise of Rome and Fall of Rome all three should be separate.
- Allow one Avatar for each faction if possible. This didn’t matter so much for Shogun II as all the clans basically have the same unit types.
- The skill tree should be kept simple like in Shogun II. More is not always better. Post the skill tree for us who play the AC for some input. Should the skill tree be different for different factions? If it could be done would it improve balance between factions?
- Allow General to stay the same cost even when you have points to spend in the skill tree in the same way you do with veteran units unspent experience points.
- Insert speed stats for all units on the unit card.
- Create a pdf doc for downloading explaining all the moral penalties and bonuses. This would help a lot of the new players understand why their men break and route away.
- The Plumbatarii or Plumbata is thrown underhand see thread http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=380904 please have the animation portrait it.
- Allow everybody to gain clan tokens; some people for whatever reason are not comfortable joining a clan.
- If a request cannot be done by the community (Avatar Campaign aficionados) just tell us it can’t so we can move on to more productive discussion.
