nope
Been playing Rome 2 happily since release. really have never seen what all the hate has been about. there's been a hell of a lot of additional free content and development since then as well. I'll be playing for years to come

Nope. Over a thousand hours logged since release, I think it's a great game.

Re: the game is so :wub: i went back to Medieval 2
Nope. Med2 is a outdated game, Rome II is far superior.

Rome 2 has its flaws still like any other game, however Med 2 looks like a very dated game now as we have moved on a lot since 2007! Med 2 BAi is still the best by far and that much i cannot take away from the game. However great games like DEI, Vae Victis and Wars of the Gods - Ancient wars are keeping Rome 2 going! That much so CA have recognised this and continue to bring out DLC for the game, and thats after 5 years since the game was released!
I dont see any improvements or additional content for Med 2?

Med with mods is great, but there is already nowhere to go. It reached the maximum. Like there are no naval battles, beach landings....

I wish there was a Remastered/HD edition of M2.

Re: the game is so :wub: i went back to Medieval 2
People wouldn't go back to previous releases if a major game was at least over 90% completed & that's being generous.

Most of the major issues with RTW2 were sorted out within days, and few weeks later there were hardly any issues. Release of a game to a mass audience is always a testing phase, and the speed in which they jumped on each emergent bug and issues shows they had planned for it and were ready with the resources for a prompt response. This aspect of the flawed release of RTW2 was lost in the storm of indignation and the accompanying wailing and gnashing of teeth from the overly indulged whiners that overpopulate any games forum. Most of us just got on with playing, had a bit of laugh at the more ridiculous graphics bugs and muttered under our breath "...hope they fix that soon", which they did. In todays state, the game is a polished gem and the range and quality of the mods is without precedent both in variety, access and ease of use.
Don't know what game you were playing. Rome 2 has been at 110% complete for at least 3 years. Incidentally, I can no longer play TWM2 because of the 32bit to 64bit bug that has never been sorted takes all the fun out of it (CTD or freeze randomly or not in battles), and Empire will no longer launch. It's not really up to Steam or Mods to fix that - if you want to whinge about something, whine about Total War not updating the back catalogue for contemporary high resolution systems, yet continuing to sell them for those systems.

Re: the game is so :wub: i went back to Medieval 2
hmm....I think you have commented on the wrong Total war game as Rome 2 is around 80% completed. If it was not for great modders out there it would be a lot less than that! Just look at the BAI in game as an example, try a vanilla game and you will see how bad it is also Sieges are still useless in game! However CA have made an attempt to polish this game as they have realized two things:
1. Modding community is still supporting this title
2. Competition is imminent in market
Anyways back on topic as this is not what this thread is supposed to be discussing, cheers

Re: the game is so :wub: i went back to Medieval 2
That's not my experience - playing vanilla Rome II with the Ancestral patch, I've seen AI Cappadocia (my client state in a Pergamon campaign) competently attack two AI-held cities using siege ladders and take those cities, even though they used low-tier infantry (eastern spearmen and hillmen). In both siege battles, I had an army reinforcing theirs, but there was nothing which my army needed to do.
Yes, the BAI is imperfect, but I'm enjoying the BAI with Ancestral. I played about 30 campaigns of a Pergamon campaign with patch 19 and then repeated the same strategy as Pergamon with the Ancestral beta, With Ancestral, I lost an early battle which I had won with patch 19 because the AI did two things well: (1) they used a combination of spearmen and cavalry effectively to defeat me on both flanks and (2) they used cavalry effectively, destroying the skirmishers behind my main line and charging my general. When the AI defends an unwalled city, they form up on the edge of the city now rather than waiting in the central square. In one battle, I attacked an unwalled city as Pergamon, it was defended by Colchis and Cimmeria. They sent both their general units (Colchian Nobles and Cimmerian Noble Infantry) in a surprise attack on the rear of my formation, which was an impressively aggressive and surprising move. I'm noticing enemy units re-forming and rturning to fight - I could be wrong, but I think they're doing this more and I like this, it requires the player to pursue fleeing troops with cavalry or face those enemies again.
I'm finding Rome II very enjoyable, even without mods. The Campaign AI is working better for me too after recent patches. AI factions seem more active diplomatically and in war. I especially like the way that an AI faction, losing a war to the player, will try hard to find ways to survive, offering a peace treaty, confederating with another nation or becoming a client state or satrapy of another faction. In my Pergamon campaign, Bithynia was initially an ally, but they when they attacked my client state of Cappadocia, they betrayed Pergamon and it was time for war. The war went well for Pergamon and Bithynia had one last stronghold, the island of Salamis. As my forces approached Salamis, Bithynia became a client state of Egypt - a brilliant move, forcing me to choose between peace with Bithynia and going to war with Egypt, a major trading partner for Pergamon. Pergamon's leaders had to choose between completing their revenge against Bithynia, the former allies who had betrayed us, or going to war with Egypt, which would damage our economy, stain Pergamon's honourable reputation and put the survival of Pergamon at risk. Naturally, I chose war...

Re: the game is so :wub: i went back to Medieval 2
edit: Meant to reply to this before the comment, the game on launch felt like someone got fired and trolled the company with sabotage. It was awful, almost nothing worked. There are still some nasty bugs even now.
Having said that, it has improved and is quite playable now (more so with some modding).
--
I have good memories of MTW2, but I tried it again a while back and just could not get into the game. Given the choice between armies linked to a general, or a king going on a grand tour of Europe with his personal guard; I prefer the former.
I do wish they could make it work without linking them, but the CAI has suffered since doing away with the old risk board style, from RTW onward. Many changes I read people citing as a reason they prefer RTW/MTW2 were attempts to solve some of those problems.
There are many other things about MTW2, but I'll save on typing and just say that I don't want to go back to that game.

Re: the game is so :wub: i went back to Medieval 2
They were fixed in days and weeks?! Hardly any issues left in few weeks?! %110 complete? Wow seriously?
They still fix stuff in this very year! (Btw lovely disembark issue of the Naval battles still stand! (see LoTW's RotR videos)
I use 64 bit and M2 works well, without ctd and all that? Same for Empire.
Of course I'd love if there were any (sorts of) improvements for any of the older games (and performance improvements for all) but no need to throw mud at them.

Re: the game is so :wub: i went back to Medieval 2
I haven't played Rome 2 for nearly a year now, not that I don't like it, its just that Assassins Creed Origins came out and is very absorbing!. However, I have recently started to play M2 again, and although its a bit dated it is a great game, fun to play on the campaign map and role play - graphics are still good and immersive. Haven't played Warhammer 2 yet, although I have it loaded on my machine.
I use 64 bit and m2 works fine, and I can still play Empire - using Win 7.

Re: the game is so :wub: i went back to Medieval 2
Compability sometimes be a big issue. I was able to open and also run well many games by only changing it.....guess I'm going to have to reload and try to sort out those 2 games.
