Rome II

Unless they're not save compatible

[Nefaro]

I enjoy vanilla...but all this talk of mods is making me moist.  I'm afraid to start modding though because I don't want to deal with all these bugs and problems. Is it really worth it?

Same.

I'd like to start a new game with a mod or two but since developers are now in the habit of updating their games every three days on Steam, I expect it to be broken regularly.


So..

Have the patches for Rome 2 fallen off by now? 

[Gusington]

Yeah I haven't had a new patch in a few weeks.

I actually unsubscribed to Radious as it was holding me up. I'm ok not playing the most new version and getting it again from Steam.

I'd also agree that just for seasonal changes and other details its worth it...but I haven't encountered a campaign-breaking bug yet.

I just need to choose between Divide and Conquer and Radious. So far I like Divide and Conquer, and I haven't subscribed to the fourth part so I don't have those new issues.

What I do need to do is think up a serious strategery for destroying the Caledonians. They are becoming a giant iron thorn in my Iceni arse.

Ah.. the DEI mod was enabled. That's what causes the prologue to hang. Thanks!

Yes it is worth it.  It is so easy to do with STEAM workshop.  You subscribe to what mods you want and then make sure those are checked before you start a game.  If you don't like it then just uncheck or delete it.

^There is the in between area where a mod is updating itself and won't let you play, then you have to futz with things a bit.

[Sir Slash]

Yeah, they call it the Futz Zone. But I prefer the Non-Responsive Interaction Request Respite. But Futz Zone works too. 8)

I use divide and conquer mod. Have been playing the same game for weeks. Do I have to also install this new 4th part now or can I keep playing with the original 3 parts?

[Gusington]

I've been playing with just the three parts and although I've had a couple of crashes I don't think its because of that...you should be fine.

[Yskonyn]

I would check with the 4th part, Gus. I am running with 4 parts and it hasn't crashed or locked up in a campaign on me yet.

[Gusington]

^Any issues with your budget/financials?

[Yskonyn]

I started anew. No problems so far.

[Gusington]

Is the new 4th part not save game compatible or you just felt like starting over?

I don't really want to start a new campaign unless I absolutely have to...

[Yskonyn]

My previous campaign was vanilla.
I never started a DEI campaign before. :) I am a DEI virgin!

[Sir Slash]

Same with Radious. The mod plays fine just doesn't update on Steam. The author says he is working to find a solution. What are the differences between the 2 mods? Anybody?
