What is your opinion of this game? Good or bad? I was hooked on the original RTW (as well as Medieval II) so this took some getting used to. Pretty cool how there was a client state feature, and I like the inclusion of loads of different factions.

I think it's rather good, though I feel the AI is pretty bad at managing large scale invasions. At most it will come with one or two armies even if at peace at all other fronts, which may be a pain for a small faction but which becomes a piece of cake when you are large.
Feel like there really isn't anything that slows down a big empire from growing.

They fixed the issues plaguing the release, it's quite a good game now. Attila is better, but wait for ancient empires if you want the Rome 2 setting, its coming in autumn.

What? Really? I can't find any info on this, you better not be pulling my leg.
The setting is literally the only reason l prefer Rome II, but the stupid ass campaign AI ruin it for me.

Pretty amazing. I put about 400 hours into it while on a severe amphetamine binge, where I completely immersed myself into an excessively detailed world that unfolded like a sweeping historical drama. Among the best experiences with entertainment in my entire life.

Horribly unoptimized. I couldn't run it beyond 20 fps.

they fixed the issues plaguing release but many of the core mechanics are still intrinsically frustrating.
-the inability to produce and send units to reinforce an army on their own, while also forcing a limited number of commanders in the field
-the really limited building slots that grind your development plans to a halt, making big cities less important than small towns because they just completely lack farms otherwise, for example
-limited diplomacy, can't give territories to allies to avoid having to manage provinces far the fuck away from you, can't ask for attacks on specific targets, can't tell allies to delay or coordinate
-EXTREMELY TINY MAP, lacking dozens of cities, important locations, even enough land to make expansion feel rewarding
the battles themselves are good, it's the strategic part that sucks.
get a good GPU hombre, i can run it to 40-50 on a 3 year old notebook so long as i don't open a battle with 4000+ men.

Attila is superior in pretty much every way.
