Rome 2 : Total War

Wow the Roman praetorians are so unbelievably broken! 2,000 kills 20 odd deaths with a stack of 20 vs some low and mid tier double stack of 35+ celtic units. How did they think this **** was balanced!?

I have yet to use Praetorians but if it's anything like the first Rome they are specifically meant to NOT be balanced to those types of units. Which makes sense really.

I would agree if they were Romans elites this time around, but they themselves are a medium-high tier unit, there are 2 swordsman units which are even more overkill, its mad!

I've come across this problem, where I'm recruiting praetorians and they don't seem to be improving their military and just have 2 bulks of slingers and spear infantry

I've started a new campaign on hard and it just isn't a challenge at all, the AI has no ambition to attack me at all and just camp at their province capital with 2 stacked armies and don't take any advantage that I have no armies at all from Rome to the top of Italy.

Fortunately graphically I have no issues, except occasionally men die stood up looking camp with limp wrists... :confused:

Yeah, they never seem to bother upgrading their units, they just spam large stacks of scrub units, can't say I've noticed a lack of aggression on the A.I.s part, they've taken about 20 settlements from me in a tug of war style war. As soon as I move my broken overpowered armies out of a region theirs appears from nowhere and nicks me settlement. Quite annoying! :o :D

That actually sounds hilarious, I'd hope they never fix that if I was experiencing it, sounds like a laugh. :p

The one thing I've noticed though is that the praetorians don't have javelins, I thought they were supposed to have a small stock of javelins?
 
Just loaded up the screen, ultra extreme benchmark, wondered why only 30fps, then checked temps, only only one gpu working in my SLI config.

Is SLI enabled for this game right now?
Updated to 326.80 for this game, downgraded to 314.22.

Just ran tomb raider benchmark to confirm whether or not SLI is working, and yes it is.

So gay for me, will have to turn down the settings a lot with only one card working right now.

Are people getting CTD's/Stopped Working a lot? Mine usually happens during a sea battle..

My performance doesn't feel too good either, battle feels smooth then I move across the units and it feels slower.

What kinda settings are people using with a setup like this?

Cheers
 
I'm loving the game however share the same issues most people have.

Myself and a friend tried multiplayer on hard last night and we seemed to win most times regardless of who we were or the situation. Units broke way too easily.

Looking forward to the patches and trying the mods!
 
Does disabling DOF give much of an increase to performance? I believe The Withcer 2 has this technology and having it enabled half's your FPS but given different these games are I have no idea if it would just as effective.

Nope, there are no working SLI profiles but AMD yesterday released 13.10 beta that fixes it for red camp. One 680 is useless as one is being hammered 100% on latest 326.80 beta whilst the other twiddles its cores.

Finally got the game just now, but still waiting on the DLC.
Just won't get a pre order game from amazon again, as this just shouldn't happen.

The customer service still giving the same line, that there are being done manully from the 4th, and will be with everyone by the 6th, they better get a hurry on!

I love how people are blaming Amazon for this when its more than likely a stocking issue from the publisher rather than Amazon themselves
 
The game is completely unplayable on my setup :(. The terrain (and menus sometimes) are completely glitched.

Anyone know of a fix?

i7 2600k @ 4.2
7950 crossfire using catalyst 13.4
 
Just tried a custom battle with the new 13.10 drivers, seemed quite a bit better initially but over the course of the battle it still seemed to get jerkier and jerkier. I have the unlimited video memory ticked as using a 7950 3GB but Afterburner never reported more than 1750MB being used. Also tried with the new Radious battle mod, definately lasted longer although not sure its 100% quite there yet as the last 3 minutes of the battle were 5 of my untis trying to take down their royal guard who would not give up until the last man lol

It's not the publisher promising me it's going to be tomorrow day after day after day after day after day after day.

Getting annoyed now, since it was due 48 hours after release, usually it is done within 48 hours of the dispatch email.

But not in this case.

Still not received it, been promised it today, they better get a move on.
