Medieval 2 was the last great Total War game that prominently featured roleplaying elements and detailed political interactions. Screw gravitas; I'll take command, dread/chivalry, loyalty, piety, authority, subterfuge, charm, finance, influence, violence, orthodoxy, purity. And screw having a whopping maximum of 3 traits and 2 ancillaries (one of which has to be a wife); I'll take my lists of detailed character traits and ancillaries that are gained and lost over the character's entire life. And screw having at max 6 buildings in cookie-cutter cities; I'll take my customisable cities and castles with detailed population figures, guilds, player-chosen garrisons, and agents that can actually be stationed inside them. And screw day-one-DLCs. When I want to play as Denmark, I can earn it by beating the game.

***** The only thing I dislike is that its a bit too...I dont want to say too complex but managing cities if you have an empire as big as half of Europe is quite difficult and to make a "war" arround trade and so on its annoying that you need to see the animation EVERYTIME because it does not get fast played >: I mean whats the point in seeing that guy stretching his arm towards yours all over again every turn multiple times if you are big, it made me play without them, its not like I need them anyway but yeah >:

+unifieddynasty At least in Attila they brought back good ammount of traits, family tree and political meddling, but why they removed all of those in the first place is a fricking mystery. Its like when CA adds something, it removes 5 other features.

And everyone on steam knows that which is why nobody plays it when you look at the steam statistic the top one is Shogun 2, then Atilla, Empires, Medieval.

I think why people are hating on empires is due to the new format, which i find is great for empires! I would not want to see RTW 2 have the same format though, its just that so many people are used to the old style and "born into it" so they may not like it as much as someone who starts with empires.
