No hollywood egyptians.
Stuff like that.

it would be good if you can design your town layout on the battle map. and place defensive structures anywhere you want.

Intelligent AI for sure, all the meanings that the notion includes.
Also would like to see historically accurate political intrigue in the senate and otherwise, and some sort of persistant character development(a bit like CK2).

CA has hinted though that playing rome will be different, you will be kind of a family inside the Republic, and not just another warlord controlling territory.
I also like what CA has said about reducing sieges, and taking over regions more incrementally with field battles, not just rushing the city.
I don't care about historical accuracy though, TW games have never been hardcore simulations, diversity and aesthetics are more important than accuracy.

The three houses bs and hollywood egyptians was to appeal to the masses of uneducated people who would most likely play their games. They felt if they had technologically advanced "barbarians," hoplites from greece to persia and non-hollywood romans no one would buy their games.
What I really want to see is CA going up to the people that made Europa Barborum and basically having them review the game. Taleworlds did that when making napoleonic wars with the MM people and it went well, CA can do so too.

No. That's comparing apples to oranges.

What I'm trying to say with that is Talewords made with fire and sword...which was crap. MM did pretty well. So they combined it and it did even better. CA can do the same with Rome.

Don't think I've ever given so many +1's in such a short thread before. Step it up CA; less arcade, Hollywood Sega crap; more hardcore, historical strategy and megalomania.

Thats exactly what Europa Barbarorum was at its start, historical research for all factions and they offered this information to CA, but got blown off. Then they decided to go ahead and make a mod based on their research. Maybe the popularity of EB will lead CA to act different on this one, but I doubt it. The impression I get from the interviews is that they are planning on staying true to history a little more. It wouldn't be vanilla Total War though if we don't atleast get 3 retarded units.

As mentioned, mod friendly.
It's just wishful thinking to expect CA, or most companies, to focus on realism and historical accuracy. Arcade gameplay and easy mechanics and gameplay, with shiny graphics (and preferably "cool" units like flaming pigs), cater to the masses, which equals copies sold and monies made.
And the above is just fine, as long as the modding community is allowed to step up and get the data access and tools they need to make the games that I desire; DarthRome2 until Europa Barbarorum 2 is released.

1. A larger map 2. A way to change religions (I guess that would go for a Medieval 3 though lol) 3. A way to maybe found your own cities instead of preset ones? Or a mix of the two... a system to do it maybe? 4. Maybe a Russian winter effect :P (meaning seasonal advantages/disadvantages) 5. Better AI (than Medieval 2) 6. Be able to see your city without having to see a siege battle, and maybe customize your city a little? 7. Build other things than regular buildings (for example: wonders or monuments or something) 8. Other factions besides Rome playable... 9. ETCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

Post by: Angantyr on August 12, 2012, 02:31:23 pm
Yeah, yeah, they are full of lofty promises pre-release, I've never even had the NTW and ETW MP campaigns working and reading through the dozens of threads on this on the internet it seems almost no one else have either, and the few who have have never been able to continue them long due to game-breaking bugs.
I can't even get the normal MP battles working properly in these games without horrible desync (if I can even connect that is).
Title: Re: What do you want to see in ROME II?
Post by: Rogue on August 13, 2012, 02:41:39 am
I played countless of souccesful MP campaigns in ETW, NTW and STW2. Granted ETW had and still has the most problems, and they were almost unplayable in STW2 at release, but NTW and current STW2 MP campaigns work very well.
If you do get a de-sync just copy the save file from the host to the client and your campaign will work again.

All the hidden gems from the pre-empire games. Like that hidden Amazonian town in the top part of the Rome map and how if you set everything right Spartacus would start his slave revolt.
I also hope they bring the new diplomacy system over from the new games but not any of the other simplifications they've made.
And I know I'm going to get a lot of flak from this but I want the cheat codes back. They were a fun addition for those times I didn't want a serious long game but rather just wanted to see if the Scotts could hold back the Mongols with just their bagpipes and kilts.

I want it simply so I can mod easier, such as the toggle_fow in M2TWK which was invaluable for making sure everything was set correctly at a glance in between tweaks to the campaign map. Then again, Empire and later are remarkable unfriendly to the modding community -_-

If they follow the same formula of Shogun 2 Vanilla then that is a good start, however :
- Don't release a game with 1/4 of the variation of a total war game 8 years ago and then charge your audience for separate factions / units / battles - Don't put so much bullshit mechanics in such as super cavalry. Cavalry were not tanks until late middle ages earlier, but cavalry could often take on infantry units head on no problem in the game. - Don't give one faction everything, romans did not have heavy cavalry and their archers were not amazing, so lets not have that again. - Make some attempt to produce units that remotely resemble units from the past. - Morale needs a fix as barbarians were not absolute cowards who just gave up after a bit of a slap. - Make sea battles actually interesting, rather than a 20 minute stroll up to other ships only for them to spontaneously combust (rome should have the trireme warfare early on which could potentially be hilarious)
As the campaign map goes, shogun 2 did really well so good.

I really hope they make Rome IIs multiplayer better then shogun 2... God that multiplayer was awful the fact your general could become a fking super hero was just stupid and the leveling system? ridiculous.
They should keep multiplayer like the original Rome or medieval 2 total war games, no leveling, no OP generals just units and tactics!
overall though Id be happy with it however they make it really, I don't care to much for realism granted, the three house thing in Rome was stupid.

1. I hope the graphics concerning the elephants are better. The last two games with elephants (ETW and M2TW) weren't very good.
The animation of soldiers flying through the air due to elephant charge in M2TW made for a good feeling of carnage, but wasnt very realistic.the animations in ETW concerning the elephant combat was a little better although I didn't like ETWs 1v1 type melee combat.
2. A radically different strategic style of play for the barbarian factions versus rome, carthage, etc. Barbarians didn't have huge cities, so maybe give recruitment to the general or pair an agent with the general u can lvl up to gain better troops. Then have an upgradable (yet shitty) fort in the barb area, or just limit them to villages and small towns.
Anyways, I highly doubt they'll do 2. But it would be awesome if they did.

Some system of civilization points example: barbarian capture lot of provinces of more civilized people they will gain some points leading to better construction(further increasing your city level) some new unit could work opposite way leading to decline
