I am very happy that the Steam folder and subfolders have their own partition on my new PC. That way at least I know where I should start my cleaning

“As with Shogun 2, we will continually improve the game’s compatibility, optimisation and integral features such as AI and gameplay balancing post-release, and plan to add to that with new control schemes and additional free formats on other operating systems,” Russell says. He also announces the plan for modding support, saying they hope that Rome 2 will follow Shogun 2 onto the Steam Workshop.

so it should be getting on the steam workshop sooner or later, in addition to other DLC like campaigns factions units and other stuff

Yo Creative Assembly, there are reasons why there wasn't a single amazing mod for any of your games since Medieval 2, it's not that hard to find out why, you may want to look into it.

You might have not tried the latest Darth Mod Empire then, which finally made this game playable.

great... I seriously hope it won't be modding like fucking Shogun 2 where it wasn't possible for modders to change the campaign map - for things like - say, adding a new region.

Yeah but that didn't really change much except number values. I think he is talking about the amazing mods like Third Age: Total War for example.

in all honesty was medieval total war 1/2 actually any good? i never got into either of them, primarily because i couldn't invade scotland because of the damn pope refusing to excommunicate them -.-

But on the modding note, i don't really know but if the CA team intend to add in separate campaigns then it should be possible to mod the campaign map aye? dunno any more than that article though

Nhnnnghh. Looks like I won't be able to pre-Order. Strapped for cash. Hopefully Greek states DLC will be available sooner than later. Was really looking forward to playing Sparta

Figured you'd want to play as Scotland, being Scottish.

Medieval 2 vanilla is an aesthetic treat but mechanical nightmare. If you bump up to the Kingdoms expansion, it's another 4 campaign maps of visual, historical, audio awesomeness. If you want to play the game with any sort of functionality, lol, I recommend downloading some mods instead. A.I.'s been tweaked to not be goodness-awful. Third Age seems to be the community's top pick. I plan to do a Hyrule: Total War campaign soon someday.

i didn't see an option to play as them, i got barely 6 hours in to the campaign as England before i just went meh, i had no idea what the hell i was supposed to be doing with merchants and stuff like that and france was being annoying so i just decided to go back to rome 1 and conquer gaul... again.

i'm biased though because i came into total war via rome, and while i enjoyed shogun and shogun 2 they didn't have the variety that rome did. i didn't play napoleon or empire, but medieval just lacked the heavy infantry style i liked from rome.

you have not played rome till you put a maxed out unit of Urbans/spartans/arcanii on one end of the bridge and ~3000 peasents on the other side, and watch your men not only win but barely lose a man
