Kurwa.

Remember to search the kitty map well, there is a good amulet you can keep.

Is this game getting any new mechanics after Asia minor? If not, it's fucking garbage.
I mean, it is garbage because of so many reasons but I still hope it gets at least slightly better in 2nd and 3rd act.

UI is atrocious. Battles with timers which basicly force you to run thru enemies just to save a guy in 2 turns are fucking retarded. Healing your party injuries is the most fucked up thing I saw in a video game - enter the camp just to place a guy in a tent, exit the camp, come back later, enter the camp, take the guy from the tent and you're free to use him 4 loading screens later. And guess what - sometimes you have to heal them that way because of retarded random events (some of them don't even let you choose the outcome. Just deal with the injury motherfucker)
Ofc you can treat them while traevlling but it takes longer.
And this is only the tip of the iceberg. This game is such a mess it's not even funny. If there is nothing good after act1 I'm uninstalling this shit.

For those that have complained about the game becoming repetitive after the first act (I'm not up to that part yet). Did you play Viking or Conquistador?

I haven't played Conquistador for a long time, but I played Viking again recently. In England I remember looking forward to unlocking the weapon skills, it's a good time in the game when you finally unlock something like Fire arrow or One-Two, for instance and leveling up my Crafting skills to make better gear. Mechanically I can't remember anything new being introduced at that point though other than getting new skills.

Is the issue that the leveling system in Rome is too horizontal at that point in the game ?

[The_Mask]

Bro.

You have unspent skill points.

 

[Cpt. Dallas]

At least the game doesn't force you to turn them into warriors, but I'd still rate this random overmap event as having an agenda.

How hard could it be to haXor the text files to make choice choice 2 'throw them on a pyre with their men' and 3 'become literal camp followers'? Hell, the entire game could be transformed this way.

Hotfix - v1.1.4
1. Modified the encounter in the quest Ambiorix’s Warning:

• Fixed an issue with the encounter not completing if players manage to kill all the enemies during the encounter.
  
• Cativolcus now places a Rally banner at the start of the fight.
  
• A Charger and Arsonist have been added to Cativolcus’ team.
  
• Adjusted the level of the enemies in the encounter slightly.
  
• If you lose the encounter, all injuries will be cleared when you wake up later.

2. Fixed an issue where characters who are hurt during the Rome Sweet Rome quest will still be injured after the 5 year jump at the start of the Message From Lucullus quest. They will now be healed.

3. When using the Twitch extension, the nameplates for the characters will now be colored based on whether they are allies (green), enemies (red), or neutral (grey). The name plates will also fade out a bit if the character is defeated.

4. Fixed an issue with Afrorum legion not pathing correctly in the Gaul region.

5. Fixed an issue where Centurions could be hired for the Afrorum legion in Gaul when the Legion Afrorum was not available.

6. Fixed an issue where a barrel was blocking a ladder on the Mountain Village instance.

7. Improved game stability (crashes).

8. Fixed an issue where Deianeira was appearing in sections of Rome when she was not supposed to (based on story decisions).

9. Fixed a hex issue on Cliff Pass Overlook that could cause the player to get stuck if their own character happens to be standing on this hex when combat ends.

10. Fixed an issue where characters would “RAAAAAAAHHHHHH” every time enemies move from retargeting when using the Twitch extension.

11. Added some refund functionality to the Twitch extension:
a. You will be refunded if you try to apply a status effect when that effect is already applied.
b. You will be refunded when you try to heal a character at full health.

Not going to read through the entire thread as I am playing it now and don't want spoilers nor the usual negative Codex bullshit, but just wanted to give my 2 cents:

Much like Conquistador and Viking, it's a damn good game! These guys definitely have talent. Not perfect, lots of small quibbles, but so far, having a lot of fun with this. The combat is both challenging and interesting (playing on Hard), the historical flavor is great (even if there is some SJW stuff), and the game does a really good job of mixing story, combat, strategy, characters, and history together into an excellent final product. Will provide more feedback as I get deeper into it.

The game has light rpg mechanics but its got that forward momentum, good pacing. Characters and and tactical combat is alright. Injury system is pathfinder kingmaker loading screen simulator trash. Also most the hardcore survival management elements are non existent. I guess conquistador only game they made a serious attempt in that department.

Its a decent game.

 

[Sunri]

I can't believe that they made this stupid mission that force you to lose even before it starts you know that it is an ambush, but you have to go with it then I wipe everyone with Bestia infinite attack stuff on turn 1 but no I need to die with honor and game turns into skipping turn simulator for 5 minutes after that cucks from other legion kill some randoms and smugly proclaim hehehe shoulda know better and everyone is injured, so you need to spend another 5 minutes healing everyone literally no redeeming qualities what were they thinking when they designed this crap and act III doesn't even have any new waifus

 

[Larianshill]

I loved the part where the bad guy's whole plan is to lure you into Gaul so you can get killed, and then when there's a perfect opportunity to just stand by and do nothing, he saves you because... Because.

Dude probably got hit by a menhir

alright this has become terminally boring halfway through Egypt. the enemy AI cannot keep up with you at all once you master some class skill trees, even on Hard I'm ending every combat in turn 1 without taking a single point of damage and the conquest stuff is shallow and tedious. if they had cut that portion out and condensed the rest of the game I'd be happy to beat it but after 30 hours I don't ever want to touch this again

I did like literally two main story missions in Gaul act 3 and uninstalled. Pretty much felt the same.

I'm fairly sure I'm almost done with Egypt and knowing that I'm only two thirds through the game is not doing it any favours. The game blew its load way too early and I feel like it simply doesn't have anything new to offer past the first campaign in Asia Minor.

 

[agris]

Quoting for truth, and because I was struggling to remember which Chappelle character he looked like.
You got it!

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

Character on the right is hilarious. Look at those biceps. Look at that hand.

Clearly a man's arm stuck onto a woman's body. She has more scars than the centurion and they're all focused on her one giant coomer arm.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

And she has an ugly face.

Cleopatra is a qt tho, both face and body.

 

[Sunri]

I completed the game and did 2 endings peaceful solution and force, both were satisfying spoiler below

Spoiler

I can't believe that my character father got not only killed but also cucked and we are not even his children hahahaha those hoes ain't loyal

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

Really need a coomer rating.

Tbh people who point out Deianeira's and Julia's yuge biceps should always consider Marit Bjoergen:

Ok, you know what, after playing this some more, I am doing a 180 turn, and disliking this game now. The main reason? How contrived the combat is.

I want my rpgs (whether aRPGs or tactical) to just have a good combat system, and let you master it, and then just fight straightforward fights against challenging enemies.

Every combat in Rome seems to be super contrived after the starting fights. First of all, there are always infinite enemy reinforcements. So the longer you take, the more enemies appear, and it feels like you are running in place. Kill these 7, another 7 pop up magically to take their place. Wtf is this shit?

Then, there are always some conditions to combat, they can't just let you fight normally. Complete this battle in 5 turns or lose. Save these hostages or lose. Kill this guy, except you can't cause he's got 20 armor, so switch to condition B, and get the battle down to 5 enemies. This battle you have to fight with these praetorian retards you just recruited and who SUCK, instead of your main party, just because we tell you so. And that battle you have to fight without that character. And this battle you can't bring this.

E: Viking didn't have any of this shit, Conquistador had some of it and it was the worst part of the game. It just feels like the game is making you jump through hoops for some artificial fake "challenge", instead of just letting you fight tough enemies straight up.

I don't play games to be handicapped every time in new ways, and then spending hours trying to figure out how to get around the developers bullshit.

 

[The_Mask]

If Porky doesn't like something, then that's arguably the best part of the game.

 

[Bastardchops]

What's with Roman history understanders here complaining that some liberalis are black, do you think Rome was based in Scandinavia or what?
