Space Voyager Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 What a coincidence. BTW, in one of the vids it was spotted that the game still has a feature of putting a group of units under AI command. It has been improved even from the times of M2TW, now you can presumably give such a group a task of defending a territory. I'm mentioning this because finding this feature in TW games gave me the option to play without both pausing and utter chaos. Which gives a very movie-like feeling to the battle.

Thorondor Posted August 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 IGN's Nathan Lawrence counts in the fingers of a hand things you'll want to know about Rome II. :: For instance: (...) Rome II is primed to run on a PC that’s almost as ancient as the game’s epoch. Even single-core processors are listed in the minimum specs rap sheet, with only a measly 2GB of RAM and a 512MB video card required to get the game off the ground. (...)

Thorondor Posted August 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 According to Creative Assembly post-launch plans for Rome II are already in place. Here's word from Lead Designer James Russell: "As with SHOGUN 2, we will continually improve the game's compatibility, optimisation and integral features such as AI and gameplay balancing post-release, and plan to add to that with new control schemes and additional free formats on other operating systems (...) We are also very proud of how SHOGUN 2 is our most moddable Total War to date with over 500 user-made mods on Steam Workshop alone. We hope to support ROME II in a similar fashion." In addition to free content, gamers can expect to see Culture Packs that add more playable factions and unique units, Feature Packs that add gameplay or wide-ranging aesthetic changes, and Campaign Packs that add entirely new story-based campaign expansions. While the Greek States Culture Pack DLC and free Pontus playable faction update will arrive day one; by October players will be able to add the Seleucid Empire to their playable faction roster for free and the Nomadic Tribes Culture Pack featuring the Royal Scythians, Roxolani and Massagetae as DLC. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Ah, so many packs and DLCs, but not even one modding tool. The one thing that would let the community do something about stuff the devs won't . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
