Most annoying basterd in the whole game.

Soooooooooooo is this game to the point where it is playable now? Cause debating if I still want to buy it or not.

Earlier stages with a couple of mods were actually enjoyable. Still, from what i see on the patch notes, there is a lot to be done.

I'm planning to wait until winter sale and see if it has even a minor discount. Plus I figure the game will be a lot better to play by then.

Sounds like it's getting there though. Not sure its worth it still but hey rome 2 is finally almost playable by the sound of things. lol

Well in that case I probably wont get it If the game has been shit, and will be shit for awhile, because they are barely doing shit to it, then theres no point. Also I dont have the best pc for it. When it came to 1v1 battles in shogun 2 with two full armies I got a bit of lag, mainly due to my processors being shit on not being able to handle all of the individual animations and such.

If you're planning to buy a better pc in the future, then by all means wait untill the game is all patched or full mods like RTR are out.

It's playable since patch 1.3 in my opinion, despite still being underwhelming in some areas I've enjoyed my campaigns thoroughly - probably the best ancient war game out there. But as in all other Total War games I would recommend playing on the higher difficulties and with house rules, for example historical conquest,  faction tactics, army setup, roleplay with politics and diplomacy, instead of just steamrolling everything etc. for added challenge and fun and to compensate for the stupid AI. Looking forward to the final version.

I completely changed my POV on Rome II vanilla now : its rubbish 


The constant patching make it hard for any mod to stay up to date. The patches themselves are going in a good general direction but are slow in fixing issues and constantly adding new ones.



ONE great thing though : the steam workshop is open  with Rome 2 mod manager
+ the rate at which they patch is slowing to a crawl = more time for modders to mod



Playing Rome II patch 5 with Radious mods + Trait mod + Loose formation mod and LOVING THE GAME !


To dodge Steam force-patching and fucking up my saves and mods, I copied the whole game folder somewhere on my computer so I will be able to play it on offline mode when I want to

Nomadic Tribles DLC is now out. It's free, if you download before the end of the week.

Bonus! Looks like they're fishing for goodwill to make up for the rocky launch.

[Molly]

Yea, was kinda surprised to see that free DLC.

Thx, would have missed this otherwise. Have my +1.

I really like these new factions so far, actually seem to have a harder start unlike selecuid. but also have potentially strongest units in game imo thanks to barbarian infastructure.

not alot of difference between the 3 of them, feels more like 1 new faction but still surprised this is free, enjoying it so far.

[Banok]

messagatae on legendary, actually losing campaigns. feels like shogun 2 difficulty or harder now, not sure if patch or faction or luck.
