There are about 4 other games I really want to play now: command , flashpoint campaigns, CK2, EU4 but everytime I turn on the computer I load up Rome2. I am aging vanilla with the exception of Radious combat mod , 4tpy mod, 4 season mod with effects And a few that change appearances of units.

I have never had so much fun with a TW campaign. I am really enjoying using the agents. Actually, my favorite is the patrician...I put him in an army within a big city and he assists is administration (think CFO) drastically increasing taxes and such. Now that I have my big empire (all of Italy, cisalpine Gaul, North Africa from Carthage west) it become a game in itself trying to move armies around and predict where they will be needed. Also outfitting armies based on the enemy. My two legions in North Africa are loaded with light archer and javone cavalry. Legionaries are lightly armored.

For my armies out east facing the Greek threat...I have heavy cav (few units) but my legionnaires Are all "heavily armored" with armor upgrades to boot in order to deal with Greek phalanx formations.

Just love this game

The Radious mod has been Patch 9 playable for several days but the mod still cannot be updated on Steam. Radious says a solution should be available soon. In the mean time you can subscribe to each sub mod individually at Steam and play with Patch 9 or download the whole mod at The Total War Center and play Patch 9 but you'll have to install it yourself. I've been back playing vanilla saves until it's fixed on Steam. And waiting.......

[mikeck]

Yeah, I just grabbed the combat one individually to mess around with it. I wanted more formations than vanilla but I'm. Not starting over for DEI. I kinda dig vanilla to be honest. I know that's like "verboten" to say about TW but there you go

[Labbug]

Mikeck, I am interested in why you would not restart with DEI.  Could you explain further.  I have restarted with DEI and am enjoying the game.  I think it does enhance vanilla.

i would probably say 2 things

his commitment to the campaign he has running

and theres nothing wrong with 9

What 4tpy and season mods are you using? I've tried a few, but they either just change the turns and don't change the research/build times, or they change too much.

[undercovergeek]

I use the ones by a guy called Berliner.... in using the 4 turns a year with seasons and then a different mod that increases research and build by 4

Because I am ass-deep in my current game and am tired of starting over. I have fought Eutruscans for control of Italy 25 times only to start over for a new mod or new patch. Now that the game is stable, I started with the new beta and by the time DEI came out, I was off an running with control of more territory than I ever had before.

I am a DEI fan from Wayback when it first came out always used it...but once Patch beta nine came out I wanted to start right away and didn't feel like waiting for a week and a half for the Mods to catch up
