Rome II

[mikeck]

I downloaded the beta. The campaign map seems bit smoother but mine was decent to begin with. Turn speed is a lot faster. Can't say about AI improvements as I haven't played alot tonight. Many of the changes were already made by radios anyway. Right now I am having a battle of agents. Our spies are assassinating each others generals and spies at a record clip....very cool. Had a good town battle also. Truthfully, I found the AI to be pretty good anyway.

I love the legion traditions. I've grown very attached to my 3rd legion. They are highly trained and specialized in sieges and engineering

Maybe they'll add a "Non-Brutal" version of Razing for Gus. ;D

[Nefaro]

I hope so. Anyone know how much time there is between beta and release for these patches?

This one should be set for next Friday, I'd think. 

The 'Red Sky' patch was a quick hotfix of sorts, along with one of the smaller crash updates that came out in the middle of the week.  I believe most of the bug fixes are to be released every Friday, after being in public beta for a week.

Bugger.  I got that damned "army can't disembark from a fleet" bug in the Prologue campaign.  >:( 

Screw this; I'm gonna start a regular Rome campaign and do unspeakable things to the Etruscans.

At last I got R2TW. It ran like a dog to start with, but I have pretty much got the settings more or less right now. I'll probably need a 2Gb graphics card for it to work really well though. I have mixed feelings on it though. I need to play it more to get a proper perspective. ATM the other TW games are fine, so perhaps it's just me adapting to the changes in R2TW?

[mikeck]

I have a 1gb card and can run everything on ultra except unit detail set to high and shadows set to high. I have AA off and all the extra stuff off (check boxes on the right)

Anyway, it's quite different from other TW games. Give it a go for about 2-3 hours. By then, you should know whether its for you or not.

I recommend the beta patch 2.0 as it has helped improve AI and performance for many

did it break your save?

[mikeck]

Nope. Still using those mods too

[Gusington]

I'm turning a new leaf in a few minutes...going to crush what's left of Syracuse and then move on to Carthage. Then invade Greece. Not necessarily in that order. Time to get Roman.

[Dolan50]

That's the spirit.
VENI,VEDI,VICI.

[Staggerwing]

Get your SPQR on!

[Gusington]

The bloodthirstiness of you lot has trickled down to my ordinarily peaceful disposition. Let's get Roman up in here! I think Varus said that.

[Staggerwing]

Uh, probably not the best role model...

[Gusington]

It's all about style, not getting slaughtered in a dark forest by giant bearded hairymen.

[Gusington]

Yeah bitches.
