Im not sure where you got the idea there is no trait system as my generals have been picking up positive ones randomly and also a few negatives, it could be more detailed and indepth though.
My bad, still haven't actually been able to play, just gathering info. I thought the traits had been replaced with bonuses to choose from on leveling, like with armies. Didn't know you have both. Well, that's something at least.

Awww yes. Installed all this new hardware and now rome2 runs so smooth on highest settings (That vegetation alpha thingy fucks everything up, though). And it looks beautiful.
Although there are still some weird lags that should be taken care of sometime soon and i agree with most of the AI-problems that i've read here.

Some bugbears.

Look at my beautiful empire:

Who designed this UI? Pictures are from Rome and Shogun, displaying the same info.

Campaign map:

Battle:

Rome's UI is so cluttered. Why is that when I have 20 units the unit cards are in two rows? One row is apparently 16 unit cards, leave the second row with 4 and the just clutter.

Shogun II's UI is much smaller and only shows what is needed. And even shows more, like troop numbers.

Laughed at the first pic. "Damn you cloud"

Thanks for the comparison pics though Khorin. Now I'm glad I didn't preorder. Which sucks because I made a new computer just for this game. I guess I can play some more shogun 2 and kenshi to pass the time until I get it later (maybe in the winter sale but I kind of doubt they'll discount it that much or at all then)

I'm really asking myself where their BIG budget (40% more money than for shogun 2) went... it's like they haven't even tested the game before releasing. Rome II plays like a full priced beta and runs very poor on my PC  :( I could run Shogun 2 on ultra with 60 FPS and now I have to tune the settings down to high-medium. Even on Exterme the game looks worse than Shogun 2 and the animations are awful. Soldiers are dying without any kill-animation and the stupid 1vs1 fights destroy every ancient warfare-atmosphere.

Just look and LISTEN to the alpha video.

Nearly everything the CA guy told us is false. I do not feel any cohesion in the trooplines or impact while playing the game (7:27). It is also not optimized (8:10).

This is so frustrating. Espacially after the beta update which is now downloadable.. there are no noticeable changes. I expected a 1 gig patch but not a little 100-200mb update.

I really think they will release Rome 2 on consoles - mark my words.
When west germany annexed east germany, nobody moved a finger too.

Erh, crashes that... RESTART your PC? I think your system has some serious issues that have nothing to do with R2...

Nah, this issue seems to be pretty common. Some others having the issue also use the same motherboard/bios and also use AMD processors...
