Rome 2 : Total War

I think the latest update has introduced a few, but the gameplay is as you would expect for the Total War series now.

A mate and I have been playing a co-op campaign as we wanted to do from when the game was first launched but due to bugs/desyncs was impossible. Happy to report we're on turn 300 now and the game is very good, have several mods, Radious, unit mods and different factions but the game is finally where it should be. Still find the siege AI a bit iffy and won't do anything but auto-resolve a sea battle but thats personal preference

Looking to trying a different overhaul mod like Total Realism.

anyone know a way to set it to a fixed or max LOD in the graphics

looks terrible when you zoom in and out and see the models change like they do

I've had this game for a good year or so, loved Rome 1 and still not played much of this. Does it still take forever to end a turn and is it still brutally difficult?

CaptainRAVE · 21 Sep 2014 at 23:04

It is much easier (on normal) and turns are quicker now than in previous games.

Loving it so far

Has the offer finished? Sounds like a great deal.

Cavallino · 27 Oct 2014 at 20:59

Id be surprised in all honesty as Ive been looking for it for the last 2 weeks on the cheap and never succeeded!

Casdawer · 28 Oct 2014 at 12:49

But the sale has ended

Cavallino · 28 Oct 2014 at 16:10

Rome: Total War Music

Easily makes the game 10x as epic imo.

The original Rome music is a complete must have mod. I don't think realise just how much a great soundtrack adds to a game.

It's a bit annoying how some tracks seem to keep replaying, but it is great music.

just got this today, really impressed with how it plays now as I heard months back it was terrible. Performance seems so much nicer and smoother, really enjoying playing as Sparta.

Any decent tips? I seem to have a strong army, but I'm loosing 4k a turn at the moment and really struggling to balance my conquest. Only thing I could do is disband my army, but I'm at war with a few factions and dont want to leave myself expose to invasion.

First turn spend all your money to make alliances, theres an island south who would be your allies quite cheaply. Try and keep greek factions on your alliance, don't start wars with them. That will give you protection from all sides except south. That's where you should go attack...maybe Egypt.

Squark · 21 Nov 2014 at 20:33

I still can't really bring myself to play this, such a shame, it's just been sitting in my drawer since launch.

Might be why I'm struggling then lol. Took out Athens, and the cities to the North. Plus the little island to the South, the names pass me by now. Royal Hoplites are so beasting though

sell all non Spartans and only have a Spartan army that's what I do

seriously look into some mods as well, as that makes the game so much better.
