Rome II

[Gusington]

^I can't argue with you as I haven't been back to Rome 2 either, but I will soon. Soon.

Attila has been taking up my TW time lately. A Picts campaign is coming next.

[Sir Slash]

Rome 2 wasn't built in a day. 8)

[Gusington]

How long have you been waiting to type that?

[undercovergeek]

at the top of my list of things to do before christmas is to finish a Shogun II campaign

and start one!

[Gusington]

I would like to win one.

[Sir Slash]

Well having won Shogun 2 AND Fall of the Samurai, I can tell you the feeling is overrated. The euphoria only lasts about 6-8 months then you have to settle for constantly pointing out to people that you are THE FRIGGING KING of JAPAN all the while trying to act humble about it. Still, it's more fun than getting hit in the ass with a Kantana.

[Gusington]

Overrated?? Shamefrul. Dispray.

[Sir Slash]

Shamefrul indeed. My Shogun victories were made much easier by a few Super-Agents in the right place at the right time. I agree this was the pinnacle of TW games to date. So many things done right.

So I awoke this morning fully intending to get TW:Warhammer today but then I started thinking - what itch will it scratch that I can't scratch by playing something in my library? If I want high-fantasy tactical warfare I've got AoW 3 (not Warhammer, but I don't really care about that, plus the battles are turn-based).  For the TW experience I have the barely-touched Attila, but it just hasn't grabbed me.  Then I remembered reading that TW:Rome 2 had finally been patched into a pretty good condition, so I'm installing it as I write this.

My only question at this point is if any one can recommend any "indispensable" mods.

[Crossroads]

I have Rome 2 and a few DLCs all loaded up under my Steam folder, but when I decide to have a go I always get back to my Roma Surrectum II mod based on the RTW exes instead   :D 

[Sir Slash]

I play with the Radious Mod and like it a lot but the DEI Mod also looks very good.

[Gusington]

I second the Radious series of mods.

[sandman2575]

DEI for Rome II is fantastic. I can't play the game without it, and with it, have poured more hours into this than any other TW game by far.

It's really good.  And anyone who still suffers from the delusion that Rome II is crappy and terrible really needs to play it so that they will shut up and realize that Rome eventually (and with modder help) became an awesome game. 

[tgb]

Is that alongside Radious or instead of Radious?

Never mind, it appears they aren't compatible.  I think I'll try DEI first

[Gusington]

Yeah they're both separate.
