But we've no idea what's to come.

More thoughts about RTW2.

Macedon phalanxes are ridiculously overpowered. I destroyed a three times bigger army and lost 0 men.
Chariots are practically useless.
Horsemen a bit less so. They can be useful for flanking in some situations, but they're still generally not worth their price.

[Jubal]

I've still not got it

[comrade_general]

I don't plan to.

Work has recommenced on my Themes and Sources.

Campaign map.

The approach to city building and everything else concerning cities is completely changed. For the worse.
Restrictive and boring sums it up quite accurately. Town garrisons are now automatic and you have no ability to choose free upkeep units yourself.
Population affects the number of buildings you can have in your town. Maximum of 6 in your provincial capital and 3 or 4 in other towns. And one or two of those building slots will always be taken either by settlement type or food production.
Population gets mad and start rioting if you have smithy, farms or walls in town. Taxes have only a minor role in overall happiness. Seriously?

You can't lead any armies without generals.
So what happened to me is that I've conquered the whole Britannia (except Ireland), and now I have 5 settlements and I'm stuck with a total of three armies.
Now I must launch an invasion on Ireland and leave all of my provinces completely undefended.
The whole system is idiotic to say at least. It's horribly restrictive and forces you to play the way somebody intended you to play. There's no fun in that.

My advice: skip the game.
Hopefully they won't make the same mistakes with Warhammer TW.

I wish they had a demo. Would be really nice.

Winter.

[Jubal]

I think it already did that...

[Othko97]

Not this one, the next one!

[Jubal]

Winter is surely not coming between midwinter and midsummer? 

[Cuddly Khan]

Winter is forever coming! (Until we spin out of orbit of the sun... than it's going to be forever here.)

I beg to differ we've had one frosty(ish) night so far

I've been told and even have told myself which is which over and over again but I keep on forgetting.
