This I promise you with my word of honour. I highly doubt from the things I've seen in the past.

Agreed?

Nigel I think you overdraw it a bit. I don't think and agree that the siege engine is running worse than ever. I more think it is running same worse as ever with small improvements in earlier patches. Still Dramabelli and others are right there is no significant improvement if you loved to play sieges as a defender vs AI.

on the other hand this is what you would hear meanwhile over at CA forums

^^

lol link to official ca forums dont work alqamar. Dont know if they moved it or bad link?

based on the feedback so far this patch does not. It is more a back and forth like when you attack an AI. Interesting enough even this issue AngryJoe raised in this video is still in the game. I laugh about it everytime.

So Patch 10 Beta is a flop? Six months later no working siege Ai , a broken game running worse than ever. All these patches are like putting a sticking plaster on the neck of a man who has just been decapitated.
This game was dead on arrival no amount of these patches will save it and CA are not putting the effort in to do it , they are too busy working on their next half finished game. Rome 2 is a train wreck of a game and CA couldn’t care less because all our money is in their bank account.

Im Sick of the lies, Sick of the hype, sick of the patches , sick of the promises ,Sick of the bull

,sick of you CA

"500 Internal Server Error" is what appears when I try to open steam in a tab.

And naturaly steam isn`t working right now.

I wanted to test the beta to see if it really improves things.

How ironic that while waiting for the patch that could save a broken game - steam brakes down.

I imagine life was like that in the Soviet union.

And the transport ships magic continues, CA continues the policy of placebo, but it seems that this is all the same.

Can you link us the angry joe video.Is there a new one?

**alQamar** · March 13, 2014, 03:30 AM

nope. There is no new video. I asked him several times if he likes to make a new one and provided him some of the new hilarious stuff, like the camel cataphract interview.
The apologists will state most of the issues are fixed meanwhile, so they bin the whole content as old and invalid. Issues are certainly not solved. However AngryJoe did not reply to my mails. We have to understand it is his daily business and he earns cash with his channel, so assumingly he won't focus on revisiting Rome 2 again

If AngryJoe revisited Rome 2 I hope he avoids the sieges. Would not like to see that man have a heart attack!

**alQamar** · March 15, 2014, 03:34 AM

you are so kind Ano

**Ano2** · March 15, 2014, 10:22 AM

Haha yeah, I was shocked myself when I came back to this game at patch 9 and still found the siege a.i. broken. I literally hadn't played it since day 1 release, I was like 'I'll give CA a few months to get this game sorted out, then make my judgement.' Then I came back and I was like 'Okay they flanked in open battle that's pretty smart, performance is much better, campaign ai seems better... FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WHY ISN'T THE SIEGE AI FIXED YET!?'.

Really irritating when I gave CA like 4-5 months months to get their

together and they still failed to do so.

As compared to release the performance is now right the same. If you still notice advantages then because they indeed fixed some performance hogs, lowered and leveled CPU usage but also you might have noticed a lower drawing distance
/ level of detail issues.

Yeah my laptop isn't great so I tend to run on medium settings for the most part, and I definately had an increase in performance. Still get slowdowns in 40 unit battles though.

It is amazing that the Carthage scene itself is bugged and does not work. You can produce a bug with siege equipment getting stuck every time you start the battle. What are they doing at CA? Good God?
