    Default City View and Family Trees

    Anyone else remember city view from the original Rome:Total War, or the family tree in Medieval II:Total War? I remember both of them being instrumental towards the immersion and attachment I had to those games and to the campaigns I played within them, seeing my cities expand as I built them and tracing my family line back through the ages made the game feel like a story, an adventure with it's own unique history, of which you were it's owner and creator. By contrast, the games since Medieval II: Total War have felt stale by comparison, even while many have expanded upon the series in meaningful and expansive ways, the feel of the games has been lacking, and so I hoped that in this game that was to be the spiritual successor to Rome, the first game within the total war series that I played and of which I still have strong nostalgic memories to this day, that such features might return. Does anyone else feel the same?

    Yes. Those features.. weird they're not in the game. Especially the family tree one.
    Interested in how Attila and the new LONGBEARDS DLC plays?

    100% agree - needs the family tree back at minimum, and the new province model for groups of cities quickly gets boring and lacks the immersion we had in all the previous TW games.

    I just don't find myself caring about cities or generals at all any more, its too much "arcade-mode".

    Indeed, FT was a great feature and I'm sure I'll miss it when I'll play Rome 2. Also I can't understand why they left it out.

    why do we want family tree? its just makes the game a bit more complex and it seems like CA dont want this game to be even slitghly complex.

    one thing is for sure, THEY ARE NEVER GONNA BRING FAMILY TREE BACK!

    It would be like they admit that they did a mistake and CA DONT like to be in that situation....they know how TW should be and not you....
    Good going CA, you really must be proud of your hard work.....

    Both should have been in the game.
