Be sure to come back and relay your experiences in Attila for the slower guys that way they can decide whether or not to buy it.

Hey Skowdey

What's the point of pre-loading when preallocating and unpacking takes just as long...

Yeah... took me over 48hrs straight to download so not really worried about that.

My guess would be it is a piracy or security thing.

While not quite as long as downloading the same time as everyone, I tend to agree.

I don't think it's as much for our convenience as it is Steam's.

Graphically beautiful

more taxing than Rome2 tho

on a GTX880M 22 fps nearly all maxed out vs 30 fps for Rome 2 in the benchmark

They took out Veg Alpha from graphics options. Not that I ever had it on anyways. Campaign map is butter smooth, and lovely.

I'm sure my download was faster than this unpacking

Unpacking for 30 minutes and now updating my graphic driver.
So far I don't like the game

Not sure why so many are having issues. When it unlocked, 8 minutes of steam what have you, I'm playing and it's quite good.

Good Alpha Release.....Looking forward to the Official release next year about the same time when CA have sorted out the bugs and hopefully the AI problems....

Played my firts battle

very smooth and good looking

as always with CA this is what Rome 2 should have been

**BuffaloBuffalo** · February 17, 2015, 02:55 AM

Can't form to full a picture at this early stage but yeah this game seems to follow the trajectory of the 2nd game in a time period being the much fuller experience. You can get a glance at this from the politics screen alone.

Played my first skirmish, waiting for my buddy to get online to do campaign. So far so good, the shadows don't look boxy anymore, or something, might keep them on this time. The battle played out okay, but tbh I felt kinda.... meh about it. I wasn't really into it, it was the same old hum drum send unit here, blah blah, flank with cav win. The AI did jack diddly squat the entire match. I dunno what to think, but it ran smooth enough I guess.

I did notice one fairly big issue, a lack of a previous feature (Damn I know). You can't left click and hold a unit and then drag it around like your could in Rome 2. Is it something about CA where they have to remove features that worked?
