    Re: Eve Online

    TLDR: Do not play this game - it's a scam.

    2004 player here - have payed subs for the game ever since, however, the game is coming to its end - CCP decided to make events that caused the T20...
  2. Re: tips to make the campaign more fun

    You could always assassinate them - anyway - I just invest 30 seconds to make the campaign last 2tpy, which improves the experience a lot.

  3. Re: Do You Feel You've Outgrown Your Love For Total War?

    It's a complex question to answer.

    I personally started with the original TW and found it to be quite enjoyable, but only really got into the series when I started to play modded MTW and modded it...
  4. Re: Who plays on Extreme and what are your Hardware and Benchmark stats?

    I'm running the game ob Extreme quite smoothly, averaging at around 45 FPS in the Benchmark - there are occasional FPS drops in large battles, but nothing too irritating. I just wished this game had...

    Best vanilla TW thus far. The people whining apparently mostly haven't upgraded their PCs since the release of the Xbox 360 and look at really shoddy releases like rome 1 through rose colured...

    Quite dated system with an I7-3930k @3.2 Ghz, 16 Gigs DDR3 and dual 680 GTXs here.

  10. Re: Realistic Units mod - heights and Roman Reskin

    Quite a bad mod - romans rarely reached that size before importing gaul slaves and eventually intermingling with them, so especially out of place with the starting date of the game.

    Re: R2TW is too conquest-oriented

    Exactly - In my first campaign in R2, I set myelf the goal to plant an Oak of Teiwaz in Jerusalem as Suebi, did it, was satisfied and moved to the next campaign rather than grinding through provinces...
  12. Re: is it still worth using the radious AI and battle mods after the new patch?

    I used TW2 beta, radious TW, yarkis battle mod and some modifications of my own over this weekend and battles still feel like pacman at level 256, so yes - battles still need to be slowed down a lot...
  13. Poll: Re: "Hurr durr CA has hired better historians than you"

    Whilst I agree the game is lacking in historical accuracy, naming a German 'Flavus' would be the equivalence of calling an African the bad N-word. Nothing historically wrong with that, except that...

  16. Poll: Re: The Features that were previously and aren't anymore that you want/miss

    Family tree with some rudimentary 'genetics' and an S2TW like tree view when upgrading characters.
  17. Re: Why do people think this will be fixed? Evidence and history tells us the opposite.

    Rose coloured glasses here - R1TW was far less functional than MTW and even STW. A part of it relates to the fact that the AI couldn't deal with the new 3d map at all and changing the units to 3d led...
  18. Re: How long till a medieval III ? let CA drop Rome II

    I've changed my game to have 2 turns/year as I think it feels about right in regards to character development - otherwise adding skills etc. to a character was just a chore because you knew he'd die...
  19. Re: How long till a medieval III ? let CA drop Rome II

    Of course everyone is entitled to have his own opinion, but after that statement, I just can't take you seriously anymore.

  21. Poll: Re: WELL ROME 2 SUCKED,WHATS GAMES IS NEXT FOR CA?

    R2TW sucks less than any TW game maybe except S2TW did at release. It didn't suck, doesn't suck and will grow to be one of the finest titles in the series. I hope to see at least two expansions...
  22. Re: Why this game is second most played game on Steam?

    It's probably because the game, despite being heavily buggy and full of flaws is one of the best TW releases thus far.

    Shogun 2 was more polished at release, but since it covered a far more...
  23. Re: My honest question : Is the new release Rome 2 fixable?

    Actually, there really isn't a lot to fix as compared to RTW1 or any other game in the series.

    After having played each and every TW game, I have to say this game is by far the most flawlss...
  24. Re: Total War Rome II - Better with Kinect

    The inherent Problem with that is that most console players neither know what Triarii are nor know how to pronounce the word.

  25. Re: Do you think this launch was worse or the same as Empires?

    Judging from your join date, you may have very little experience with previous TW titles at release.

    Except for the original STW, I've played all titles at release and not a single one except S2TW...

    I have a fairly dated rig (almost 2 years old, I7 3930k @3.2 Ghz, 16 gigs of DDR3 ram, 2x GTX 680 in SLI) and despite this game not even supporting SLI, I can run it just fine at 6000*1080 on extreme...
  27. Re: Do you think this launch was worse or the same as Empires?

    Way better.

    Except for STW and MTW, which weren't bad at all at launch (although they were far less complex), I'd call it the second-best launch except S2TW. AI, unit balance and diplomacy have...
  28. Re: Q for ONLY experienced TW players and long time TW fans

    It's a true TW game - every TW game has been horribly bugged at release, and R2TW is even one of the smoother ones except maybe MTW1 and S2TW. A TW game without bugs and a semi-decent AI - now that...
  29. Re: Why Rome 2 is awesome! (Positive comments only)

    OP has a point.

    I've bought every TW game since Shogun and actually, R2TW is one of the smoothest releases thus far imho.

    Yes - I have posted my fair share of (hopefully) constructive criticism...
