what happened to drop in battles?

[Toho]

this is one of the things I looked forward the most in R2.has it been removed or am i just dumb?

[kambiz]

Oh dear Toho ... This game is one huge step back (Back all the way behind even Shogun1). I still can't believe this is the Rome 2 We all were waiting for for all these years Yes , Drop-in battles which was one of the greatest features introduced in recent total war games is gone without any reason Ah ... what can say ? ...

[Spitjaw]

Yeah, what happened to this option? I too was really looking forward to using it, it's one of solutions to the AI problem. So much more satisfying to do battle with human opponents than with AI.

Heres hoping that it will return in an future patch!

They couldn't figure out how it would work on consoles so it was dropped.

True ! Actually the more I think about this horrible game design the more I realize that this game is planned to be released for consoles as well ... OR to be as testing ground for the next title being the first multiplatform total war

Can't have too many solid MP features in Rome II when you have Total War: Arena Rumble coming out soon.

More likely this than consoles.
