Battle speed

[Wittman]

How long does your battles last guys?
The 2-3 hours i was playing most of my battles finished up to 10 minutes and less,even with full stacks.

I just did 4000 v. 4000 and it was over in about 5 minutes. My main infantry line routed after what couldn't have been more than 30 seconds.

It HAS to be slowed down. It just has to.

If you hate it then go on Metacritic and put it in a bad review.CA will actually listen just like they did for the Shogun II gloss if people shout loud enough about it.It will be hard when they got so much money off pre orders but if you scream enough i think they will seriously alter battle speeds.I thought S2 vanilla was unplayable with regards to unit speeds and it makes me sad when you say 8k men die in under 5 minutes.


To metacritic!

They really need to slow down the fighting by 20-30%.

Jesus christ...i didnt have that kind of numbers for now...but just wow

Battle speed is horrible the battles are to fast it's not enjoyable i loves the battles which lasted long and felt like I was Caeser now it just stupidly fast ca really messed up

[God-Emperor of Mankind]

I have to agree.
The combat animations are very nice but combat is over before you have a chance to really enjoy them.

I annihilated a full stack in exactly 3 minutes, half of which was actual combat. It was frankly absurd, there was no time at all for any battle tactics. Such short battles are like short sex - completely unsatisfying.

I told you, you know...

[Schwarzburg]

Before I can maneuver a unit to flank the opponent or to bring in hidden units from a wooded area nearby my engaged units are already starting to rout and I'm playing on normal...
Maybe give all units more hitpoints?

[Igor85]

No idea why they made such a fast movement/battle speed. Both must be reduced, it's too hectic at the moment.

[BeastG33]

You pretty much spend more time walking to fight your opponent than actually fighting them. It's crazy.

Suddenly European Universal 4 became a much better game :-)The battles was what made TW better then European Universal but now, the battles is the most envying thing about this game

[Grimbold]

Can't this be modded?

[Wittman]

I hope so man,the battles could really be intense,now its like my soldiers are armed wih mp-40 and tigers while the enemey fights with sticks and stonesno but really they must be moded extremely maybe 50 % or even more

[cherryfunk]

Sometimes you have to wonder if CA has any idea what people actually like about Total War games. I guess we'll find out pretty soon just how 'mod friendly' Rome II is.

[perablenta]

It insane that some one let this launch with battle speeds as it is. I played the historical battles and some custom battles. I couldn't even get to the point of doing flanking attacks with cavalry. Hell, I didn't even give all the orders to my units before the main infantry battle was over.

[SandraDevilGirl]

You can use slow motion?
