Rome: Total War II

[Marc]

The game is horribly broken. They said it would be the most brilliant AI ever, it is the most dumbass AI ever in a TW game. Siege AI is just pure utter horror: 'let's use our torches against huge wooden with bronze covered city gates, that will work!' Sad thing, it does indeed work ffs. No siege engines at all. The seasons are gone, so if your generals gain experience they die just a few turns later. The AI starves itself on the campaign map and therefor has stacks with half dead units.

There are NO politics at all, no family tree at all, giving the game 0,0 for depth. It doesnt matter if the senate or people hate/love you. Civil war will start at any random point. Its just taking city's and defeating dumb armies, nothing more. More food buildings causes public disorder? WTF?! People in ancient times would get angry because they get more food?! They had 40% more budget then ever before, spend on what? PR movies in which some ex-soldier explaining how great Romans were. Couldn´t they have spent that money on the actual game?

Fleets are utterly useless. You can just walk your army into the ocean and they suddenly turn intot an entire fleet. Great battles turn into huge mosh pits, looks more like a metal concert than a battle. Can't build roads, and you can only build a max of 6 buildings, even for Rome, Carthage or Alexandria. They have patched some, i agree but the game is still hollow. And then they dare to ask money for a bloody expansion. Seriously? That should have been in the freakin game from the start! And now they have announced a paid DLC for a staggering 15,99 euro's. CA has lost it's mind. People defending this game have either very low standards or no idea how a great game should work for that much money.

Yes i am angry indeed, they can screw up any time period, medieval, 18th century, Shogun era, but why, why ancient times, why did they have to screw this one up?!?!?!?!?!!!
