If I share more gameplay what would you like to see? Time Stamps for the Video: 0:22 - Playable Faction Overview 4:00 - Rome Campaign Start 13:00 - Samnite Campaign Gameplay 23:13 - The Battle for Rome
Invicta i would love to see you play the roman campaign and give some comments on the early steps of roman history (as you did a little in this video). Maybe even compare your playthrough to historical events, or try to be as historical accurate as possible in the campaign. Anyway, great video, thx for the content.
Invicta i would be down to watch the samnite's campaign too, i just think that when you add gameplay and historic knowledge it gets so much more interesting
it would be amazing if you could select rise of republic then grand campaign , like when you take all the map it then zooms out to the grand campaign and have to research to get hastati etc.
As an Italian, I LOVE the map! It is really detailed. As much as I like conquering all the Mediterranean Sea I think these "country-specific" maps are way better.
I played a mod years ago idk if anyone else had it. Not sure of the name but was focused on the rise of Rome. I Can't find it anymore but that mod changed the map to include wayyy more cities and the rest of the globe, except the Americas and Australia weren't included. In the Italian Peninsula there was about 20 cities. I'm still waiting on a total war game or mod on atilla that does the same thing
broke a record in clicking fast THINKING that this was the continuation of the amazing early roman history you did....but I guess this is the second best option :P
Interesting how the technology "Via Vitae" is translated as "Path of labour" and "Via Labos" is translated as "Path of Life"... Seems like they messed something up xd
Bram Van Haverbeke It's because CA sucks nowadays, and they don't actually know what labour means. All they know is DLC, how to nickle and dime, and of-course how to ruin game mechanics. It's funny how it's considered "fleshing out" by adding a family tree which has been included in just about every historical TW title. Wish they would "fleshout" building cities by adding the old free-form mechanic from Rome1 and Med 2. Admittedly they have slightly improved with each DLC, but the game still cant compare to the original or even Attila. Heck, throw Attila some love
The old city building was boring as you could contsruct everything everywhere. I prefer the new system a lot, as it makes you actually think about what to construct. Also it was so stupid in Rome I and Med II that every unimportant village could grow into a metropolitan city at one point. I love that Rome Ii now has major cities and minor cities.
Anyone else wish CA made a total war with a main campaign using a map that is a proportionate size to what this looks like. A map of europe in which every country and peninsula have an amazing number of settlments like in this campaign.
I think most people would love that, I would at least. Though i doubt most people would ever finish their campaigns and control the whole map =P If the AI improves enough so that they can form giant empires too however then you could end up having big empires clash near endgame......
Giannis Balagiannis plus it’s covering a time no one really talks about. Only major downside would be that the diadochi would all field similar armies, so having some secondary factions on the side (like Nabataea or eventually even Galatia) would be a good way to diversify engagements
20:16 I've never had a nation break their client state treaty in Rome II no matter how much money I offered are whatever other concessions I offered. I hope this translate to GC after the patch is official.
Think the Total War series need to make it when you go to a territory it will turn to what Sicily is in this video(more stuff in province/zoomed in). Meaning it has more depth.
My family is from Conza, old name is Compsa :D beautiful place. Should do a video on romes there samnite wars, there is a decent amount to talk about in there. Like the Roman's changing from phalanx system to the other system and the battle of caudine forks!
This DLC is rough and there is a lot of struggle, more than the main campaign or other DLC that I have played as Rome, I still trying to find my footing, because no artillery make things like more difficult to accomplish.
I don't like how much space the cities takes on the campaign map. Also, isn't this too much forest for this time period? I'd rather have more open land so that you can manoeuvre and choose your battlefield.
The battle was fantastic, something akin to Napoleon's situation at Waterloo with two armies against him. With almost 1000 hours clocked on this game, it seems my love and attention to this game is not ending anytime soon!.
I hope someday games and computers will be powerful enough to let you play on maps this big on a continental or even global scale, I’d love spending months or even years on a large campaign map with it feeling like your slowly and lovingly growing an empire
Invicta, 24:24 "Aleric" of the Senones?!? I know sacking Rome became very fashionable later, but at least get the Gaulish hipster right. He was sacking Rome before it was cool. :D
The traits suck balls. All you get is the "Procrastinator"/"Wary of Strangers" ones (because they trigger ending a turn inside cities, even when that turn is after conquering said city) or the "Likes a Scrap"/"A bit of Claret" because they trigger via autoresolve. Six traits only gives you extra space for crap like that, unless they fix the trait triggers
Consuls are missing from the GC too. Historically, Rome had two consuls at a time. I wish CA would implement an update to the GC that allows the election of consuls for Rome. Because having a dictator be faction leader at all times, in an apparently monarchical style, goes against CA's pledge to historical accuracy in some areas.
I saw in another video that you could recruit some native troops. They should really add that to the grand campaign, a bit more technologically advanced than the ones you can get now but it’d be cool.
Sam Pollé yes they can recruit but I mean DEI style where you can recruit some...native troops who haven’t been “romanised” aka not trained in the Roman ah of fighting and not using Roman equipment
Sam Pollé no, without the Auxiliary barracks. Plus in Rome 2 they just got lazy and just put some units from other factions in. DEI and AE do it so much better and they’re just mods. DEI even has a reform even for some factions or multiple depending on the faction. I mean let’s take..Syracuse for example in DEI. You can recruit syracusian Marines from the 3rd level of the city of Syracuse. That’s what I mean, from the actual settlement buildings. They may not be the best but it’d be a nice touch.
I wish, I fucking wish there was a total war game with a map of Europe, or another similarly sized continent, that was this detailed. Both map-wise, but also in regards to the battles (NOT the entire continent mind you, but similarly up-scaled like we see here), the political system, and the city building aspect. I realise it's quite unreasonable and unrealistic, not to mention in all probability not financially viable, yet I can't help but imagine a total war game with that kind of scale, depth and design. How glorious it would be. Oh well, here I sit, an armchair game designer...
great idea but dont think its possible with the lack of presence of crossbows, which made it possible to put guns into attila, if this was an attila dlc everybody's problems would be solved
Think I will pass on this one. It just doesnt look like they have done very much. You have 5 year old mods for rome that went way and above this both in depth, looks and complexity.
If only they built all the dlc maps in the same sale ish, so that they could put them together for a TOTAL total war map xD if they keep doing bigger campaign maps bit by bit, in the end you can cover bigger portions of the world, which then means you can fill in the blanks for a cheeky and easy large scale map.
Is this game any good now? I heard it was pretty bad when it came out. I have only played Empire: Total War and Total war: Warhammer 2. Looking to give some of the other games in the series a try.
Long time since i played Rome 2, mostly play Warhammer 2. That's why i am asking a bit stuipidly, is the family tree only in Rise of the republic? Or all of the game? Thank you
Honestly I was hoping you would have the ability to transform you army into how you wish, pike focus, spear focus, sword focus etc...but mah a reskin with new abilities is still a turd
2 more days... When you where "messing" diplomatically with the Volsci I imagined how the Influence system from Warhammer II would work in Rome, or able to bribe senators to pass legislation in the senate (Edicts).
