@TheFishRDrowning8 жыл бұрын
Just wanted to give you a little insight as to what I think as a new viewer. These videos are absolutely spectacular, you get very to the point, your tips are without very useful & without withholding any information (as to be secretive to strategies to remain a great player) you hint on a lot of things in this series of tutorials that helps a TON. There was a lot that when I first started playing over a year ago, that I didn't understand. I sort of put the game aside for a while and just recently reinstalled, amazing. And it wasn't until today that I actually delved deeper into how things worked, the battle movements video, being able to synchronize attack orders and just move with less micro management has helped a LOT. There was a lot that I was doing out of developed capability, I've played strategy games for a while and I'm a pretty heavy gamer in general that I didn't quite understand. As to why a certain formation let me hold out much longer etc.
@TheFishRDrowning8 жыл бұрын
Or why for example yesterday when I had a 20% win & 80% loss auto resolve ratio and I went in and battled it out I won by a landslide. I was able to maneuver my troops to kind of hold a front line in a tight space against their 2500 something troops, to my 1200 and I basically split my force in half, and worked my way around the building and behind their force and absolutely demolished them with only 190 men lost. Slaughtering almost 2400 of them. I was amazed. This game has a lot of depth and mechanics that are more than just this much attack this much defense. I love playing as Rome so far, they're kind of a stand your ground and deal a lot of damage type of faction. It fits my play style, however I love to out maneuver and just decimate forces as well. So I get handy with what I've had and I've won some pretty scale tipped battles. Which always leave me beyond satisfied.

Rome 2 is certainly not going out of date. I mean, sure Attila is out, but Rome 2 has had almost 2 years to mature like a fine wine (and got patched extensively). I would argue campaign is at it's best now, with a truly amazing experience possible if you play each faction to their strengths and at a difficulty you find challenging.

I downloaded "Rome 2:Emperor Edition" from Steam and I'm just about to give up on it. First problem is the prologue. You can only get thru Chapter One. Chapter 3 is impossible. The main problem is, you are out numbered. I thought at first it may be my gameplay but on checking various forums on the Internet I found many people have had the same problem. I've also found it hard to beat other armies. It doesn't matter what manoeuvre I try I can never beat anyone. Managing the cities is no problem, once you get used to it. I also play Napoleon and Empire and have very little problem making progress in gaining territory and winning battles..

Hey Heir, I love your videos, I am somewhat new to Rome II so they have been pretty helpful for me. Is there an easy way in game, preferably when recruiting units to see if they have javelins? It seems like important information but as far as I can tell isn't listed anywhere. Thanks.

@Crouchy2323239 жыл бұрын
Rasdanda Only if you are completely new to the series. Rome 1 is an exceptional game, if you begin the series by playing Rome 2 then because of the graphical improvements this game has in comparison, you may find it hard to go back. And you would be missing out. There are many aspects of Rome 2 which are better than it's predecessor. There are also many aspects of Rome 1 which are better than it's successor. I do not know which laptop/computer you currently have, but you might be able to run Rome 1 on it no problem, connect it up to a monitor/TV. I would start there. It has held up well enough. You wouldn't regret starting with Rome 1 believe me, you might regret it if you begin with Rome 2, and never go back and play the first in the series. It's probably selling pretty cheap. Well worth it. And it will give you a head-start come May when you do upgrade your laptop. I won't take any responsibility if you boot up Rome 1 and are glued to your laptop, addicted. Friends are family wonder where you are, you're up all night, you don't sleep, for Rome. :-)
@Crouchy2323239 жыл бұрын
Rasdanda I've only just found the Total War series in the past year. Instead of diving straight into Rome 2 (needed to build a PC first!!) I started with Rome 1, on my laptop, hooked up to a screen. I made the right choice. Not only did I get to enjoy Rome 1, by the time I bought Rome 2, it was in a much, much better state than at release. I could have been put off both by purchasing Rome 2 on release. Also why I won't be preordering or purchasing Attila at release. Let it be patched and balanced. I've got 10 years of Total War to catch up on!! :-)
