For late game R2 they should work on AI to form Coalitions against you or something, like every time you get you empire to the next level small factions need to form some kind of Alliance between them, and the harder the difficulty the earlier they should be able to do that.

Edit : Plus its not secret the AI need to recruit better units. If they fix this its gonna be much harder .

They do that in MTW2, factions would form temporary alliances to hinder your expansion.

The flag makes sense. It appears when you lay siege to a city and the defender attacks. He needs to get to that area to break the siege. It also prevents you from conquering a city with just 1 squad of cavalary running around until the 60 minutes are over.

I dont know why it would appear when u dont siege a city, but that usually shouldnt happen.

They did that in every game since MTW 1 or RTW 1. Random factions would just randomly declare war on you to slow you down, even if they really have nothing to gain from declaring war on you. STW2 had the realm divide mechanic. It's a very boardgamey mechanic that renders diplomacy useless.

Some people actually like to do some sort of roleplay while they play the campaign. I do some of it, conquering stuff on my own pace. Ironically, these AI alliances speed up my expansion since they force me to counterattack even during the times I want to turtle up a bit to wait for some new unit I want to use.

I started a new legendary Rome campaign on Patch 2. The game definitely feels better. The AI is more aggressive and seems to spam less shitty range units. Better yet, the major factions are doing pretty well compared to how they did previously. Carthage is actually a powerhouse rather than a gang rape victim in my game. The battles last longer, but I think further tweaking is needed. Then again, it may just be that legions are too good.

I think it is that legions are too good. They come way to early in the campaign as well. Even if they are pretty expensive (can't even keep up 2 whole armies of them with all of italia) there is nothing that can match them in melle.

Torches as in burn down the gates torches? you can't want those removed surely.

Bring more rams.
We promise with a view to hope, but the reason to "accomplish" what we promised would be fear.

Yeah they come way to early... if you tech for it you'll barely use your pre marian reform legions which is a shame since they're awesome in their own right.

I pretty much beeline the tier 3 barracks tech regardless of who I play. It's a little too easy to get, and it provides a huge, huge military advantage. Hell, if you're playing as the Romans or one of the successor states, you are getting units that are almost as good as your tier 4 units.

well if u attacked a wall with one ram its ur own fault. and yes I want these torches removed they are just utterly stupid, and dont even serve a real use in the game. Why do I need to be able to conquer every province capital without even bringing siege weapons?

how about they fix the siege equipment first THEN consider removing torches m'kay? i don't mean the ballistae but the ladders and the rams and the galleys need to be fixed first.

you can start by letting me move siege equipment so that burning the walls is not the quickest way into the city

I'll do the same thing in my next campaign but I usually don't like to impose limits unto myself to compensate for silly design.

I think you should be able to make a ram during a siege by default. It's so basic...
