Rome II

Tech tree is updated?

I believe that's the case for factions in the Empire Divided DLC.  Not sure if the same applies for factions in the Grand Campaign, however.  And since I'm currently playing as Cimmeria (a faction I was unable play as before), I cannot confirm either way.  :-\

Tech tree is updated?

It's different for the Sassaniads.  Given the way ports work, it looks like ports are somewhat fixed up for all players.  The internal court politics and the skill choices are slightly easier to follow.  I think there is an extra provincial edict choice.  So things are different.  The battles seem to make a little more sense (at least the AI will fall for more elaborate ploys within ploys rather than just charging in...meaning there may be another level of AI assessment looping to look for a way to crush what little bands of levy spearmen you happen to have left as bait next to some woods you have filled with archers, the AI can be seen waiting for their reinforcements, not charging in with their leader first etc....in the old days the AI tended to just roll in as fast as possible, now you can divert and decoy the AI to some degree, I think...so the AI does more thinking, which means you can use more strategems with better results, I think)

Looks like I will have to move this up in the to-play queue to explore the new features 😎

Tech tree is updated?

The commander skill trees are different, now, throughout Rome 2.

I don't think the older campaign research trees are, however.  Could be wrong, but I started an Egypt GC a couple days ago and research nodes look the same.

Gettin' that old familiar hankerin'. But I have to try out Warhammer first. I must.

[Martok]

Ugh, I hate mounted missile units. 

Just got my ass kicked by Siraces, who employed an absolute shitload of horse archers in their army.  They fought my invasion force to a draw, then proceeded to counterattack, backing me up into my own territory, until my entire army was dead.  Uff-da!

You *still* haven't played Warhammer??!  Dude, wtf?!?!?!   

[Gusington]

I'm busy playing all the other TW games! And Pike + Shot. And soon Field of Glory II.

[Martok]

The game has been out since May of 2016.  That's 1 1/2 years already. 

Just sayin'.  O:-) 

[Yskonyn]

I can join Gus there! 

And my loins get moistier after reading you guys are having fun with Rome 2.
I need to bump this up on my play schedule!

[Gusington]

Pfft 1.5 years is nothing compared to my mental instability.

[Sir Slash]

Wait till you're my age and start forgetting where you are all the time. BTW This IS the line to buy stamps right?

[Gusington]

What kind of stamps are you looking for? This is the tramp stamp line.

[Sir Slash]

That's the ones, this IS the right place.

[Gusington]

And you were worried.

The changes to Rome 2 itself aren't that big.

It's still pretty much Rome 2 patch 17 for the most part.  Which is a decent game after all those updates, and one I've played a good deal simply due to the period and variety of playable factions.  Attila has a better UI, though.

Wonder what their next historical release will be...
