Roma Surrectum is amazing if you are going to play as Rome. Any other faction play EB.

There is no way that a long term time period (Ancient Greece to the 19th century for example) would ever work with the gameplay mechanics of the franchise. Unless you intentionally played the campaign very gradually you would never get anywhere close to the endgame. The entire world would always be conquered by the Medieval era. The only way to avoid that problem would be to do away with the turn based system, otherwise you would need to make each turn something like 5 years which would be stupid.

After installing a mod you can still choose to play vanilla right? I don't know how the steam directories work.

I think RTW 2 is going to sink or swim depending on how open modding is. Without a doubt far more so than the last few games anyway. Think about it, this is the first remake in the series of a highly modded game. People are so used to all of the incredible features that were introduced in the big RTW mods that not having them in the base game is going to be a shock.

Prior to Teutoburg Forest the Romans literally drove two huge Germanic nations to extinction and post Teutoburg marched up and down Germany at will.

The point is that, in actuality, Teutoburg really didn't change much. Historians have learned a lot about Roman history since the times of Gibbon.

Wait, why the gently caress is CA even limiting the game to 8 factions? I know DLC will inevitably flesh out more but I was expecting 12ish factions in vanilla and then a few more with DLC. I understand they don't want to have the copy/paste faction problem of RTW but it's not that hard to add in some individuality. Hire some spergs from twcenter, they would happily do it free of charge.

Its hilarious that EBII is still not even close to being released, its been in development for 5 loving years. At least! Its not surprising considering each of their progress updates is a 10 page long text dump about every single little historical detail they could find. And then eventually you get a few screenshots.

The problem is that the mass Barbarian tribe migrations occurred over 300 years after the games end date. Hopefully the game will emulate the Cimbri and Teutons at least.

CharlestheHammer posted:I would think the fact that even though its called "Rome Total War" having factions exist to keep the eastern factions from being to spread out would be a good enough reason. Playing The Seleucid in Vanilla was really boring, there wasn't to many threats and they were mostly on the Western Borders. Outside Parthia, which was laughably pathetic in Vanilla.

I'm playing vanilla Rome 2 Emperor's Edition and is there a proper strategy for how regions should be set up? Should 1 province always be for farms, another market, and another recruitment? Or does it not really matter?

So I've been playing vanilla Rome 2 as Rome and things have been going great as I've now conquered everything around the Mediterranean aside from Libya, Egypt, and Syria. It's 140 BC with the standard 1 turn per year and I still don't understand how politics work in this game at all. I control like half the senate I guess and the Civil War meter is empty. What does any of this poo poo mean? I haven't done any inter-family interactions. Meanwhile I'm making 20k gold per turn with 12 full stack legions so I'm doing something right.

So has the general consensus settled on that this game is really good right out of the gate and isn't the complete broken mess that Rome 2 was at release? I never played the Warhammer games so I'm not sure how well CA did with those.
