Rome 2 Total war Trickle down information

[stradar1]

I just wanted to state does it not seem kind of weird and strange how this years Total war game's info seems more like in a loop of the same info over and over? then like Trickle down small amounts of new information? It Really kind of bothers me in for alot of reason you have to think they stated this is the biggest largest and most ambitious Total war to date. They also said they got a huge load of money to spend on this game but so little has been revealed and the game is so close to release why is this?

You have to think about it a little bit why has CA released so little about this game over the process of the game being made. I understand we have rezzed and E3 and all that but still even before Rome 2 Total war games had loads of info way before release so I just dont get it how CA states they got all this money to make a epic badass game but show us so little of this game.

Im not trying to troll CA or anything but im just thinking and trying to figure out why they have withheld so much from the public almost every new total war we get less and less info and Rome 2 Seems to be the biggest one yet but so little for us to know about it. I have already pre-ordered the game but still wish to know more about this game and what they direction they are really going. It just seems like a big loop of the same mumbo jumbo info we get everytime we get any kind of info it really kind of annoys me.

Anyways Id like to know yalls feelings about this as well im not looking for a flame feast but I just might get it but it really sucks that we know so little about this game almost 3 months before release.

This merchandise videos ,and this one is just absurd with the lack of content is just for new future players and not for old buyers mate like us.
The only new thing they talked , its just absurdly un realistic.
You now always have veterans , you recruit veterans from day one .You just need to train 1 regiment and for hundred of years they are recruited as veterans . Really ?
No more rookies or regular troops ,the noobs and newbs must be quite happy .

Not to talk about Mr.Al called "west Spain" when Spain didnt existed on those times only centuries after and the "west side of Spain" is called Portugal.But that is a mistake made by many ,in a mean way .
Because a common knowledge when is ignored ,is just due the unwillingness to know it .

Nope, if you recruit troops they're still new recruits without experience. They are just trained a certain way that's part of a tradition in an army.

This is true but this is what im talking about they only give us trickle down info in small increments which really is not right IMO. But yes your are correct on this.

YEP, you can recruit directly from that regiment/legio whatever therefore NOPE they dont come as regular troops.

If were talking about unit chevrons, indicating an INDIVIDUAL units experience, yes, if there recruited with no chevrons, they count as regular troops no?

Just with the stats applied to them from any bonus's the history of that army will bring. Which is exactly the same as it would be in the real world. New recruits to a unit with a history will try to live up to that history, surely?

Marcus my friend, you recruit a company/unit directly from the barrack, it comes out as a regular .If you send him to that veteran regiment/legion/whatever they get the habilities that that regiment won 100 years ago ,where the hell is the logic and the realism of it ?
So everyone that joins the 82nd US marine corp today they get the same experience than the guys that fought on WW 2?
You must be joking with me .
Its just childness,its just to help the noobs that get frustraded when loosing a good army and give up the game.Nothing else.

Theres no logic for me.

Aren't the traditions still bonuses in some way? I think if your army get destroyed and you want to reconstitute it at a later time it should lose some of the tradition points to show that the new army is emulating the old army rather than having an unbroken line of training to the old army.

He clearly stated that individual units will still have individual experience, so we wont start with veterans when we recruit units, we'll still have to fight our units up to veteran status.

It's the Legion or Army that will have certain stats applied to it, and I think it's a great idea. I think Sharpe mentioned something about the Black Watch or The French Foreign legion. Those units will have a high turnover of men throughout the years, all of them just average soldiers, its once they join the regiment that they shine, and the traditions of the regiment that they will try and emulate, and fight harder for it. People automatically assume that the 42nd or the Coldstream Guards are hard men even to this day, pretty certain that there's no one who was around in Bonaparte's day still in them now, but they still have a reputation for combat efficiency and all-round toughness.

I personally think that's what CA are trying to say. Sure it wont work on some levels such as an army having night fighting skills/bonuses, then being decimated, re-recruited and having the same skills again with a whole new legion of men, but its a cool idea nonetheless, and adds a new element into the game, which I'm all for.

Define "little". We actually know A LOT about Rome II. Sometimes the info can be hard to find - a lot of the good stuff is interviews by small (often non-english) magazines. CA has been very generous with info compared to other AAA titles.

I have to disagree but that my own opinion I think more could be said about this large budget game...

Wow, let it go, it was an honest mistake. When I think of the Iberian Peninsula I don't think of Portugal, I think of the other 70%, Spain.

Wait what ? When i think in Great Britain i think in Scotland only ?
Dude give a favour to yourself and .
Dont speak when you dont know what your speaking ,a old advice that i get and i like to give.

Again ignorance with common knowledge is simply in a mean very mean way .

See. We don't know anything because they just keep talking and talking and talking to us in this vague undertone.
Haven't seen actual gameplay outside of scripted combat.

Exactly what I am saying!!!

This was really a massive dissapointement, as its been said it only reiterated to us things we know. I'm still not sure whethere regions can be conquered independently from entire provinces and if so what bonuses do they bring. What about the new system of factions within factions? This sounds like the most promising and complex mechanic in TW to date yet we have virtually no info on it, despite this being a massive change and adding a whole new level of strategy to the campaign map. Naval integration in battles and the role of the navy on the campaign map (they can apparently capture regions/provinces on the coast) is a completely silent topic as well. Its kind of worrying that in the what is touted as "the biggest and most innovative TW to date" everything that is new and innovative is very hush-hush.

One of my biggest fears is this game ends up like Empire total war delayed and still buggy as hell and not finished. I already have this gut feeling this game wont be finish by release and will require 20 patches to fix all the issues!!!! I so have this feeling....
