New Patch Announced for Next Week!

**veverčák** · March 22, 2015, 09:10 AM

Technically speaking this is already sort of happening via moding in my opinion.

Religious aversion towards pagans by a Christian faction is the same as that towards another denomination of Christianity. I suggest that might be changed.

There is a lot Hidden fixes/updates guys that we have to figure out ourselves..
So be patient

It was my impression that using attacking testudo in that manner was using it incorrectly. I mostly play as barbarians but when I use testudo I use it while advancing towards the enemy. It serves as defense against the archers/skirmishers kill zone.
Using it to withhold an enemy charge just seems foolish to me. This was just going by the posture of the soldiers; they just did not look well braced.

Not nearly enough.

The "Germanic Nobles" General unit still has less melee attack than Germanic Levy.

And you still have the bizarre regression where you can't pick your general's commander unit type. It's absolutely asinine that you can't get Comes until well into the mid-game.

So, it says it brings many performance, technical and gameplay improvements. But under "Technical and Performance improvements" it says nothing about performance improvements, it's mostly crash fixes and 1080p support for 27'' Mac...

My question is then, how long must we wait for a true performance patch? It's been over a month and I still can't fully enjoy the game I paid for because the framerate is below 30 even on low settings! Not to mention the slideshow battles whenever there are more than 2 stacks present...

Not sure if I'm being helpful here but with "low settings" did you mean unit scale was small? According to my own experience, lowering unit scale is one of the most efficient way to increase the game's performance.

**Neige** · March 24, 2015, 07:32 AM

Lowering units size helps of course, but I still can't get 30+ when I zoom into the thick of action. I mean, sure I can spend most of my time from the bird's eye view and never zoom down, but I don't find that very enjoyable.

The addition I care most about... Turn on the Steam Workshop already! So many things need tweaking (great power, diplomacy, deteriorating fertility, more units of "non-Germanic" decent, Sassanid satrapies, agents (heavily nerfed or removed), etc.) and the mod forum is just a mess with all those request threads.

I want to get my ERE campaign going again, but I can't stand those 5-8 overpowered agents on my borders with the Sassanids and their overpowered satrapies...

Not that it NEVER happened historically, right?

However, I feel Greek Christian and Latin Christian should not suffer the malus.

Steam modding is bad news and only likely to get worse when Steam starts encouraging people to pay for mods. It`ll probably kill modding for good too. Something I won`t be forced by steam to do. If i think a mod is good I`ll donate if I wish on their website, not through Steam.

I totally agree. I honestly think that it's pretty cool that CA has announced/released 4 DLC over the course of a month. In retrospective, it kinda sucked having to wait 1.5 years in order to play as Massalia and Cimmeria in Rome 2. Now that some of the more obvious issues (Celts, Blood and Gore, etc) have been taken care of, CA can now focus on perfecting the game by focusing on less "popular" cultures (Slavs, Sarmatians, etc) and most importantly - fixing the game's horrendeous CAI. Attila is currently in a very bad state, but has the potential to becoming an amazing game.

None of that is likely to happen, you are going off the deep end with nothing, but your own unfounded fear.

As a modder, it would be nice, but there are so many legal things which hider that idea.

And North Africans. I need the option to play the Maurians, Garamantians and Gaetulians. It's not a desire, but a need now.
