Sure, but it would be nice to have some resource management in there regards building armies etc. Like a standard strategy game. To me a that's how an RTS should be ala Dune, X-com, Command & Conquer etc. Shogun 2 takes it into silly realms to the point where you can play it for hours and not even see a land battle. It wouldn't be so bad if auto-resolving navy battles worked, but I have vastly superior units crushed constantly by doing that.
Literally played it last night for 2 hours and had 1 navy battle on Normal difficulty. Which itself went on for ages.
Total conversion mods for Rome and Medieval 2.
Hey, I was digging thru Mobygames and saw that the Australia branch actually made the engine for Rome and Medieval 2 and then when SEGA bought CA they made them do Stormrise (that console RTS that was terrible) and when that failed they canned the studio. What shocked me is that the people that made Medieval 2 just stopped working in gaming, period. Like WTF, fuck these SEGA retards, everything that went downhill for Total War is mostly their fault. I'm actually stunned, people that pushed for all the insane battle engine with 10k+ entities that have mass, acceleration, collision and all the eye for the small details are not making any games since 2007.
Modding limits have been lifted in Rome Remastered. The UI is worse, yes, but the gameplay and content potential for mods is much bigger. Larger maps, more units, more provinces, more factions, more new gameplay features through scripting, etc.
Only difference between them is the UI and the remastered is terrible so it's better.Even the graphics look better in the original as they are not looking smeared with vaseline all over. On top of that all mods for Rome Remastered have its UI, yeah no thanks.

Darren's a former CA community/marketing guy who quit shortly after Warhammer 2's release and caused a kerfuffle by doing an Avellone-tier bridge burning QnA stream on why he left, I'd say he's pretty credible.Some very interesting comments. Like these from a youtuber that has around 100k subs and checking his channel he sound british enough so I believe him.
Yeah I know some of them ended up in games journalism and others just left the industry entirely. Same exact thing happened with Team Bondi as well.
There was a MAJOR drama and power struggle within Creative Assembly even before SEGA took over. Working for Team Bondi meant about 40% of standard IT pay for 80 hours a week.
Corporations usually buy 'indy' company when all talented people had already left - but the name, brand and IP are still valuable.
wtf, fate worse than unemployment
Probably for the best, I bet such ambitious people probably get big bucks in IT or other industries that do not pay so trash.
That's the problem. Peon shouldn't know how to make games or be ambitious. Peon doesn't kow anything and is never right! Management knows how to do business and management will tell you what game to make and what it should have because management knows best!
So is the drama. The ending of the latter is making me sad.
You cannot have any game like TW set beyond the 17th Century without naval combat.
did they even chase fancy graphics? the games all look like shit
