San Francisco Event Questions: ANSWERED !!

I don't see why you would need anything more than 20vs.20 + maybe some ships, would be hard to Manage and I am a pretty good TW player.

Then I must be an even better Total war player because I can manage 60 units per army.

It should at least be an option for those who have the brain power to manage 40 unit stacks and for those who do not want to manage 40 units a choice for 20 easy and should be simple but ca does not like options as always.

Don't you mean you can sling your 60 units into a laggy battle? please refrain from insulting me again.

60 units wouldn't be fun for the majority of people. CA will not put resources into something that only a few people will enjoy. It's not as simple as making it an option. It requires a large part of the campaign to be re-worked.

ok...20 units stacks...but i hope that there will be a lot of battles with reinforcements...i'm tired of 20vs20 units battles...

With the option to call your vassals/allies to a certain point on the cmapaign map I'm sure there will be PLENTY of EPIC battles !!! I'll be calling the Celtic factions I conquer to aid me when the Illyrians come knocking on Rome's door for sure !!!

I hope the A.I will actually help this time, I am tired of my Ally/Vassal not help when I need them.

Dom announced this and seeing his enthusiasm gives me hope this will actually take allies/vassals to a whole new LEVEL as far as mechanics. I think they realized the AI was too unpredictable so in the end they are giving the player basically a light way to "help" the AI in actually being useful to you which I approve of and feel was inevitably going to

happen because the AI can only do so much ya know? that human helping hand element was the I think the key to fix the useless allies/vassals of past TW games. Can't wait man !!!!

[Igor85]

As far as I can see Dom's first action was to kill his own client,... so this is a little bit paradox.^^

7. If I heard correctly, there will be no pre-battle speeches for standard battles on the campaign map. The only battles speeches as of right now are those included in historical battles.

[babydoc]

I too want 40 unit stacks. I think its not that hard to integrate.

[Huberto]

Indeed. If modders can do it, why not CA?

[alQamar]

if there is any official information about formations, multiplayer and multicore please let me know! I am starving without that and on this results my order of Rome 2 depends.

What we should really have is x2 number of men in a unit so we can have true Cohort size units. Leave it at 20units just make more men in each!

I like it!

So true. But unfortunately the trend seems the opposite. In Rome I we had max 240 men per unit (many many units have this, not only low quality ones), in Shogun2 200 (only ashigarus), in Rome II the highest seen so far is 160...
I know you can double/triple the amount of it via the cfg multiplier, but the game is not optimized/balanced to have such numbers.

[Templar Spartan]

I'm a bit disappointed on only Rome and Carthage having multiple families

[Piazzo Cappiaro]

No tessakonteres? My childhood dreams are crushed.

[Sharpe]

20 unit stacks are a design choice.

20 units have been deigned the best for gameplay for the most people. I personally agree, I can see how others would want more (more lifelike? Bigger scale? SIMPLY MOAR?) but I don't want to be commanding 40 unit stacks around.

Que argument for choice in Campaign selection menu.

[stradar1]

One quick thing I was asked to confirm:

How many units per army? Originally it was slated for 20, but Al confirmed that now it goes up to 40. There is no option in the game menu for this, it just can be done.

This has been debunked as FALSE information by Will of CA

I only have one thing to say to this. This really suck!!!....... One more thing I still don't understand why it cant be an option but whatever Ca. I thought having an option before the campaign to choose either 20 units or 40 units was a great idea... Ca saying it simply cant cant be done is another poor excuse as always.

5. Multiplayer: Eh. This one requires quite a bit of explanation. I'm just going to put a placeholder here and fill it up after I try to format a paragraph for it.

When will we have more informations ?

[HusKatten]

Great news on the naval regions! Maybe one can add additional attributes to naval regions... and maybe we can realize a system that is something like my signature.
