>be me, Roman with Celtic ancestry >choose the Iceni >found in Steam Workshop the 'Iceni Legionaries mod' >gives to the faction uniformity, Roman armors and straight banners >mod is deleted, it's joever >all the culture % you in the cities means nothing >I can't civilized the Iceni nor any other barbarian >no marble cities (despite I conquered a city with 'marble pit') >all must be mud-holes, all map cities are the same, battles are shit >climate means nothing, your soldiers still wear pants in the Sahara >EVERY SINGLE CAMPAIGN, same tech tree, Groundhog Day all over again >you can't create your own culture, uniforms, buildings, laws, tech... it's all the same alwaysI can't believe I fell for it just because I love that era.The worst thing is every single new Total War is just like Rome 2 and people STILL fall for this.
>be me>play Shogun>play MTW>play RTW>play MTW2>play Empire>it’s shit, never play another CA game againWon’t get fooled again
>>2352716>Roman with Celtic ancestry>IceniBong Isles were colonised by Germanic tribes. Thrice over.If you are looking for Britons, check fucking Britttany, you dumb faggot
>>2352716>game released 13 years ago>STILL broken beyond comprehension>STILL costs 60 bucksW T F
>>2352776I am of Briton-Roman descent, so for me it fits to play as Iceni. I just wanted to make my own "Blue Rome", and I couldn't because this game sucks.It's not a sandbox, despite they sold it as that, it's a concrete block.
>>2352772I heard that even if Empire still broken af, it's still better than any post-Shogun 2 TW and that mods actually fix it.Idk if this is true, but for the campaigns I have watched, it looks more fun to play than R2.
>>2352842Almost everyone in Britain has some of every pre-20th century migration culture in their blood. Hell, lowland scots have more anglo-saxon in them than the English.That said if its a blue British Rome you want, RTWR makes the Britano-Romans a proper faction with real faction goals.
>>2352842>It's not a sandbox, despite they sold it as thatwhat
>>2353428>RTWR is a mod for R1 >I'm playing R2It's all so lame and tiredsome.
>>2352716>current year + 10>playing rome total war 2ishygddt
>>2353382You've heard wrong.Empire's unit collision is unfixable. Various persisting bugs are also unfixable.What mods do is making various awful elements less annoying, but it doesn't fix the issues the game has - just sugarcoats them.
>>2352716I have all sorts of complaints and things I would want added into Total War games, but I still play them, about the best you gonna get if you want battle spectacle. And Rome 2 (maybe with mods) is about the best you gonna get for visual candy.>mod is deletedThat's why you back up mods (and game install files) on an external HDD.
Total War is awful>neighbor starts war with you>defeat them, another one pops up, the moment you have some momentum 2 other nations want to fight with you>constantly locked on battle with 2-4 nations>out of far ass end of the universe another declares war on you for no reason>diplomacy boils down to, pay 10 years worth of GDP of Europe or I declare war on you!
>>2352716Well, you could roleplay that your Chosen Sword Band are now the backbone of your armies as imitation Legiones. But yeah, the game pins you as a defined culture with little changes as you play (the only one iirc is government type)
