Bring back Darth Vader to fix this damn game.

[AnthoniusII]

No matter if we like the way units in this game fight (no fire at will ) or not the greatest issue of this game is CAI and BAI.
In the last evolvement of DV's (Shogun 2) CA members tried to convince us that everything DV did was actually a lie despite the players statements that DV's changes changed dramaticaly the game performance in BAI and CAI.
Many members believed CA members accusations over Darth Vader's work and most not...
The fact is that those that accused DV that did actually nothing in previus TW games were responsible of BAI and CAI of this damn game that is called Rome 2!
What we have here?
Factions that never expand (Ex: Masilia), Factions that can not deside which buildings and armies fit for them each time to survive and expand.
Factions that attack with weak armies -one at the time- instead of gather all their armies against a target espesialy when its their last chance to continue exist as faction (their last city that recently oqupied).
In the battles them selves:
We have AI armies that can not use siege engines like ladders, turtles and rams. In 99% of the cases theyr simply stay and watch the city until time runs out.
When AI has "heavy" artilery they bomb the city walls but instead of ussing that breach to enter the city they attack to the unharmed gates with torches!!!!
AI armies charge with no "plan" against the players lines , no attempts of flanking, no attempts of volleys from safe distance no "everything".
While in defence AI just keeps watching players armies to suround them with out respond to those moves even when the have clear number and quality superiority (this last one very rare).
When a settlement has three points of victory ,Palyers have to win one of them in order to take the city..
I though -from CA's videos that those points were used for AI and Players to retreat in an other side of the city to gain time and regroup and force the invadors to charge to the next point if they want the city....
Player's units AI:
A player deploy's his army to a x formation...AI enemy has contact (melee combat) with some of his units.
Lets supose that player has a line of three units and enemy attacks the middle one.
While "stand ground" is automaticaly placed on every unit (CA statement) player must order one or both of the other unist to engage as well with the enemy.
So far so good.
Enemy attacks to one of the side units forcin it the engage with the new opponets (rarely happens) and player sents his general to help the middle unit that is under preasure.
Enemy valuates the threat and engages General's unit and leave in peace the unit that was fighting against few secs ago.
That unit stands and watches his general dying despite the fact combat is still in its ranks (not some meters away from its last soldier).

Concusion.....
Bring back DARTH VADER in a hope that we will see a game worthy of playing ....

I think only Darth Vader decides when Darth Vader comes back....


But yes, A Rome 2 DarthMod is sorely, sorely needed...

This is an ugly post, no spacing, and there is a lack of punctuation. I couldn't understand half of what you said because of this. now please let me write like you.

the siege AI is terrible let's take a look at Rome 2's seige AI shall we?
the AI just rishes in trying to get to the flag but ignores my units and they all die!
The CAI just attacks with small armies or turtles for no reason they dont attack or just attack for no reason or will attack someone from across the sea without backing that up and then just have me wait 10 years for them to have peace for a stupid war
the BAI is alright on a open plain sometimes flanking me to take out my archers but never going for a rear charge afterwards instead having their shock cav chase my archers while their infantry gets slaughtered by my barbarian hordes!
there is no guard mode CA says there is auto guard mode but they are lying CA is a liar I hate CA they released a buggy game because SEGA told them too but I dont believe that because it's always their fault im going to post this in the fastest time i can so noone can understand me screw grammar im sure they will figure it out.
i played darth mod he didnt fix the ai that much but i will admit he made empire playable but rome 2 is very playable unles you have a dell labtop its a fun good game but with a buggy release comes rant threads this is tottally not a rant thread ca is working hard to fix this game show some appreciation dv left on his own accord it's not like twc or ca can fix that this has nothing to do with rome 2 at all ahhhhhhh rant!

conclusion....
STOP RANTING HOPELESSLY PLZ

Darth mods were good but people need to get a grip. They act like he basically made every Total War game when huge parts of his mods were compilations of other's work and wild, often exaggerated claims about improvements to BAI and CAI.

That's not to say he didn't do tremendous good work for free and for the community's benefit, but this perception people have of him as some sort Jesus Christ of the Total War series who died to save us from CA's sins is a little ridiculous.

[Karnil Vark Khaitan]

and this comes from a modder?

[Lionheart11]

I think the reason Darth was ousted is that he would of complained too much about the crap game they were building.

I swear if must be a typo and 40% less budget.

[Adreno]

fail.

[HappyTex84]

Darth is gone, buddy. :~(




GOOD NEWS, EVERYBODY!!!!

There are a ton of other modders out there who are equally qualified, and they have some fantastic work out already.

[Krasnaïa Zvezda]

As others have said, there are plenty of mods that do what you ask (fire at will,...).

Just check the thread in the mod sub forum that compiles them in a list based on what they do.

[AngryTitusPullo]

Closed.

If Darth (the person) wants to mod again then we can talk about DarthMod.
