I disagree.

I love it, when they scream.

So delicious.

Diplomacy wasn't fixed in patch 2.

Boring!

What is wrong with the diplomacy?

Finlay · « **Reply #5754 on:** September 17, 2013, 11:45:39 PM »

there's a bug so all nations think they are as powerful as you

Mogsam · « **Reply #5755 on:** September 18, 2013, 07:28:40 AM »

It makes diplomacy impossible to actually use. Once a war starts it never end.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #5756 on:** September 18, 2013, 08:26:18 AM »

Not true for me....as carthage people with one province often surrendered and offered becoming a client. Too bad file is corrupt though and the game breaks down at the same spot.

phillyt · « **Reply #5757 on:** September 18, 2013, 10:24:56 AM »

I am with Fandir. I have has nations beg for peace.

Finlay · « **Reply #5758 on:** September 18, 2013, 10:26:36 AM »

I think it must be a bug specific then, only affecting some people.

phillyt · « **Reply #5759 on:** September 18, 2013, 10:56:47 AM »

Probably, though historically I think both happened!

Finlay · « **Reply #5760 on:** September 18, 2013, 11:17:28 AM »

Drangiana just invaded Arabia magna, despite them being weak as shit, but managed to take 2 settlements before I could move my armies down from asia minor to crush them. I guess it might be realistic for their opportunism, except now I am going to kill them totally.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #5761 on:** September 18, 2013, 11:22:44 AM »

Stuff like that would be great if there are true Empires standing against you.

What the game really lacks...like all Total war games so far....is challange mid and late game once you have managed to have an economy up running, a few full stacked armies and generals and tech to dominate everyone around you.....you can then take your time to spread your influence and it becomes more of a chore and not a challenge.

I think they could and should implement a real multiplayer with more than just 2 players.

to keep people from getting bored you could grant all players access to parts of the armies during fights for example the players being able to just watch the battle or participate and then choose sides. Some 2 v 2 or even 3 v 3 battles would be fun. Also you would instantly get rid of the AI problem once and for all.

I havnt gone back to my Macedon campaign yet but there peregum faction is huge, arguably bigger than my empire at the moment. It is about mid game though I am attacking in asia minor right now I have no idea how large of a force he really has. I have tier 2 units with artillery.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #5763 on:** September 18, 2013, 02:07:49 PM »

I think I will start another campaign with Carthage on Legendary.

Athiuen · « **Reply #5764 on:** September 18, 2013, 02:21:19 PM »

Legendary is no harder than hard.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #5765 on:** September 18, 2013, 02:24:40 PM »

No saves though and realism mode in combats.

Mogsam · « **Reply #5766 on:** September 18, 2013, 05:49:06 PM »

It only happens to some people but it makes everything pretty bloody boring!

Aldaris · « **Reply #5767 on:** September 18, 2013, 06:14:24 PM »

I imagine it does - but it seems to be working for me. Some nations literally came crawling on their knees begging for peace ("all my treasury and become a client in exchange? Sure!"), others stubbornly refuse to give in besides being down to dregs against two full legions knocking at their doors. That seems fine to me, but yeah, it would really suck if the former never happened!

I do also agree with Fandir - after a certain point you begin to shift into steamrolling mode and become virtually unstoppable, like in all TW games so far. In the beginning of my current Rome campaign I was in serious trouble because there were more trouble spots than I was able to deal with simultaneously, but now that everything is running smoothly it's easy going.

wissenlander · « **Reply #5768 on:** September 18, 2013, 09:05:57 PM »

Yeah, it gets really boring once you reached the apex. Just mopping up and being a governor doesn't have the same feel as the initial struggle.

Feanor Fire Heart · « **Reply #5769 on:** September 18, 2013, 09:15:18 PM »

I think thats why Ive restarted so many times. I used to play the first one on short campaign and see how fast I could beat it. Egypt and Britannia used to be my main competitors on reaching my objective first. This one lacks the short campaign option. After you take 4-6 provinces and have legions with full stacks walking over everyone then I am done. Rather be Alexander the conqueror than Augustus the statesmen.

Warhammer online is closing for good. Too bad. It was better than WOW. Only the concept was to grindy designed. Not really for casual gamers. I had some good gaming time with my characters, thou, now - RIP.

But there is allready a new Warhammer game in development, this time by a Total war guy.

I too am at that point where I am not being challenged on TW.

Part of the issue is that we have all been crushing this game for 10+ years, meaning we know what we are doing. Only when the game gets crazy and breaks itself do we get to a point where we are truly challenged!

I am thinking I will be moving to GTAV soon, before the PS4 arrives. I really need to get a little painting in right now though.

wissenlander · « **Reply #5772 on:** September 19, 2013, 02:32:15 PM »

I never played Empire or Napoleon. Was that different enough to make it more challenging, or does the TW franchise only lend itself to primarily hand to hand fighting time periods?

phillyt · « **Reply #5773 on:** September 19, 2013, 02:39:29 PM »

HTH is better. Empire was a real disappointment for me.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #5774 on:** September 19, 2013, 02:51:46 PM »

Napoleon was ace though. The problem with Rome..armies recover too fast. You seldon lose units in land battles and even if you take immense losses in 2-3 turns you are back to full units.
