Rome II

And guys come on....how many times have we been through this?  you know that total war games are going to include flaming war pigs and some other stupid units that they're trying to sell and eventually the Motters will take them out.  this happens every single time..should be no surprise, stupid or not you know you're going to get it. Although out of all the things you're going to bring into an automatic update, can't they just make this a paid DLC so you don't have to buy it?

  It's pretty stupid, but not totally ahistorical.  The Scythians and such like Steppe barbarians definitely had female warriors, though realistically they should unit commanders of some sort, not whole formations.

Exactly. That and their 2nd album rocked.

Flaming Pigs I could deal with though the pigs weren't too happy about it. There was even a recruitable unit of merc amazons in RTW but it was way out in the east somewhere if memory serves me. This smacks of PC Police-ness to me but maybe just a reaction to the many excellent units modders have come up with. Anyway I guess there's no point talking about historical realism in this game at all anymore. What's next? Elves, trolls, trained circus bears, why not Apache Indians? ^-^

I like the Apache idea.  I had some Modded Chichimexica (with muskets) in Med total war 2 and they were inspiring.  They didn't hurl hornets, at least.

[Gusington]

How about Apache elves?

[BanzaiCat]

How about Apache elves?

If female and topless...

[Gusington]

Definitely better than bottomless and male.

What about old people? Some Romans served until 60-- so Geezer Gladiators? Geeziators!

Good Nefaro. "We who are about to fall down... SALUTE YOU"!

Just FYI. I am playing this with a 4 part music mod that brings in the background music from The "Roma Surrectum 2" mod. The music from that game was -for me- better than the music any other game
