Anyone else who thinks that transport ships are way too strong? I just lost 14 out of 20 ships (all dedicated military vessels) in a battle vs 15 enemy transports...  :(

Alright, I am using the beta driver from ATi and it is already a lot better. Very high settings, barely anything tuned down except shadows, runs smooth now even with a bunch of men on the screen :)

Those drivers seem to help. I am using the beta patch and I used the uninstall utility of ATi before installing the 13.10 beta drivers.

Made a custom battle to test it. Max amount of units, big battle, works :)

Oww, anyone can gimme a link to that x2-mod?

Yeah I got a performance improvement when I switched to the ati beta drivers, also this new patch is meant to improve performance but I haven't tried just yet.

Ahhh, fuck this. I'm going to wait this out for a month or two. Current state is not fun at all. Huge disappointment. Meh.

Since I was using the beta patch before to no avail and then updated my gfx card driver to 13.10 beta and that helped a lot...

Yea, try the driver.

yeah I'm bored of the game already too now. only real thing stopping it being fun anymore is the fact that is ZERO challenge. the tutorial campaign AI is harder than legendary one, it actually attacked me with a bigger army once.

gotta admit was hoping todays patch would be something to do with this or something nice but guess its time to stop playing and until the real patches.

Anyone else who thinks that transport ships are way too strong? I just lost 14 out of 20 ships (all dedicated military vessels) in a battle vs 15 enemy transports...  :(

this is on the list of things just about everyone agrees is stupid and broken about the game. fixed by use auto resolve tho.

Really shameful of CA to release it with non-functioning AI.

its completely criminal.

I'm still tired of so many of peoples complaints being utterly misinformed tho. couple of my mini rants might apply here also

also like to add that I didnt like building UI at first either but once you get used to it, and learn icons it starts making sense. I can click a province and see all the buildings for a bunch of settlements at once, it becomes much easier & quicker to track what buildings need doing.

Now this seems to be really bad news for Rome 2 :? News to me at least - didn't know before.

I didn't enjoy any of his mods, and when he threw that hissy fit about not being invited to the modder summit he struck me as a drama queen with a badly inflated idea of his own work, given that large parts of his mods were basically compilations of other peoples' stuff, and none of them were particularly impressive in any way. So nothing of value lost as far as I'm concerned.

Now, if the Europa Barbarorum team were to come over to Rome 2, that'd be really something. But sadly they'll probably still be working on their MTWII mod for the next five years.
Don't.

Dammit, that is my tactic!

Pro tip, Spartan Pikemen are the best thing you'll ever buy for 510 gold. Just won a quick battle with 13 units of them, Spartan Pikemen are probably the most OP thing.

As far as single player goes the AI is the lynchpin in everything. Without a good AI the sigle player game cannot be good, because your playing against the AI and no one else. TW AIs have never been good, at best mediocre. I remember playing like MTW2 and even that AI on hardest settings, the countries would not fight eachother, they would wait for a border to open up with you to attack you, so while the begining was hard if you got past that point you had a small empire and all the other countries would still have their origonal land because they had done nothing and the rest of the game would be easy.

I dont know if its that the AI is bad, or if the game has been dumbed down too much. As TW and other game series like Elder Scrolls have gone more and more mainstream they have been dumbing the games down more and more to appeal to the lowest common denominator. TW seems to have really dumbed it down, and it will of course get to a point where it is so dumb that you will actually have less people playing than you did before, I dont know if we have hit that point yet but TW is definitely getting closer.

And i dont know of any instances where CA ever updated or fixed their AIs, much less completely re-did it which is what they would need to do in this case. I dont know that they see the shitty AI as even being a problem.


EDIT: Also i would go on their forums and complain about this, but the last time i complained on their forums about one of their games i got banned for a month, so ill just not do that.
