Name one thing that make you quit your campaign

[Sommo James]

For me is Galatia takeing over the Seleucid while playing Rome and forming thier super empire in the east. When I march my legion east I expect to fight armies with pikes and elephants, not the same boring barbarian armies that I already have at home. When this happen the campaign immediately loose all its appeal and I quit.

Does something similar happens in your campaigns?

You could liberate the Seleucids, prop them up and then declare war on them. This way you could still get a nice little Greek-style war. Not quite the same, I know, but at least you wouldn't lose your campaign.

Macedonia took over Persian Empire before.

[Linke]

My favorite generals getting the bloodthirsty trait when they release captives.

[Taskeen]

I simply got bored by many aspects. Then went back to playing older, better TW games.

[Aeneas Veneratio]

I usually quit, when I got stuff to do... Oh, this is a thread meant for complaining about the game, too bad.

[stevehoos]

General boredom, yes pun intended!

[Kraut and Tea]

A bunch of worthless desert nobodies taking over the world with an army of spear levies.

Macedonia took over Persian Empire before.

Alexander reborn!

I quit a campaign in which I stretched my territories too thin, so when a faction declared war on me when i was unprepared, my territories were split in 3. I was left with the the least productive regions, so it was either quit or starve and wait for the death blow.

...wait, was this meant to be a complaint thread?

What almost made me quit the campaign was a mod that required me to start the campaign again. But the mod lost :-O

when I realized the game was rubbish. And I haven't touched the game since then

[Slaists]

boredom.

that and GF feeling amorous.

[Humble Warrior]

boredom.

This. Except I RAGE UNINSTALL.

Also, Insta ship battles which always test me, although a Mod helped somewhat. Torch use in sieges- again a Mod helped alleviate that. Finally getting night battles and finding my immersion totally blown by bright round spotlights instead of sensible lighting as with Shogun 2. The horrible black Senate screen just screams at me to stop playing. Generals still mean very little. I started Shogun 2 yesterday, lost 2 Generals, the father and son and immediately missed them, not here, in Rome 2.

Finding an increasing amount of bugs that should have been fixed. It just all adds up to rage uninstallation, even with EE.

When was that? as the games a lot better now..

Oh that was a long long time my friend. Lets say, patch 9? Iv'e seen gameplays of emperor edition but it just doesn't live up to my expectations (especially the battles) as a RTW player. The problem here is CA's chosen of game design, which is wasn't really carefully thought out so that's why there is no room for changes anymore, at least on my own perspective. However I am still a bit hopeful for Rome Atilla. There were really big changes on the campaign, which is outstanding but yet frustrated that CA didn't imply it to Rome 2. Rome Atilla's battle mechanics are a bit similar to Rome 2's, which is what I'm really hoping to be changed by CA, even though it's highly unlikely.

Boredom. The early campaign is usually the busiest and most interesting part of a game, then come the expansion mid game. Late game phase is where boredome comes in when I have no real challenge to overcome, no real enemy threat, and a giant monotonous conquest ahead till victory condition. Sadly its the longest part of any campaign :\

CA needs to implement more mechanics unique to large-scale empires (the more your empire the busier the task to manage it) and some sorts of incentive for AIs to merge to form giant blocs opposing human built empire to provide an attractive late game phase.

Spams of super wizard agents. Had one or two campaigns where 2-3 full army stacks of mine can do nothing against a couple of agents. Very frustrating!


A lot of the time this can be countered with other agents, but sometimes i've just had my best ones die or they aren't in the same area for whatever reason.

Again, the same old faces only here to bash the game. Seriously, everyone knows you hate the game. I'm new to this forum and I know that, by seeing you complaining in almost every complain threads. Saying the same thing over and over in many different posts does not give your words any more weight. It's like signing your signatures many times in a vote, it's still you, and it's still the minority.

I quit the campaign after expanding too fast and I was at war with every faction on my border. It was hopeless. Really sad to stop the campaign there cuz I was having a decent amount of land. But hey, Rome wasn't built in a day. (For ref, not playing vanilla CAI)

[Darios]

When Athens and/or Sparta completely conquers the Balkans, crosses the Danube, and begins to expand north into Dacia. The game simply does not make sense to me anymore.

depth i just isn't enough depth to stay with campaign.
