Hi all,

I am here with another set of answers to your questions. Again, I’m afraid that due to the sheer number of questions (well over 1,100) there is no way for me to answer them all.

HOWEVER!

Starting later today I will be posting up the first part of a campaign play through as Macedon. I will put up screenshots and text describing the campaign as I go along and try to provide details about new features as I encounter them.

So for this answer session I have focused on more battle related questions, and will do a few sets of answers like this alongside the campaign playthrough.

What kind of multi-core support will there be in Rome II?

There is improved usage of multiple cores across all areas of the game.

How will missile units be balanced now that shields have returned to the game?

Missile units have been balanced so each type has a role (archers, javelins and slingers)

Archers have a fast fire rate, good range and damage, but little of their damage is armour piercing so they struggle against the more armoured units.

Javelins are short range, but very high damage so can hurt anyone.

Slingers have the longest range and a lot of ammo. Their weakness is low damage, but they will do something against everyone.

For Rome II the morale penalty for being under missile fire has also been increased to make that a more important factor in battles and also to help make sure missile units are always useful on the battlefield.

Will the AI expand and form large nations on the campaign map?

This was true for Shogun 2 and is true for Rome II as well.

What is the largest warship in the game?

The Egyptian Eight with 2 fighting towers.

How great will the unit variety be in Rome II? There was a noticeable drop from Rome I to Shogun 2, will this be repeated?

The unit variety depends on the time period we are covering. Shogun 2, depicting a civil war between many clans from a single nation, had a small number of units because the factions involved fought in the same way.

Rome II, covering a much larger area geographically and a diverse time period features a lot of units, over 700 in total. They will differ visually and in their stats.

Will Massilia be a Greek or Celtic faction?

It is a Greek faction, with some low level Celtic units in its roster.

What siege engines are available when attacking a settlement?

Rams, gallerys, ladders and siege towers.

We saw flaming balls of fire being used in the Teutoberg forest video, are they available in the actual game and what other kinds of deployables are there?

Yes, and there are also barricades, spike traps, stakes, caltrops and more.

How big are the battle maps?

2km x 2km.

Ο νέος τρόπος μετακίνησης των μονάδων φαίνεται καταπληκτικός. Δε χρειάζεται να τους βάζω σε groups για να κρατάνε το σχηματισμό τους.

Μία εταιρεία που πραγματικά σέβεται το κοινό της.

The Seleucids

“Tolerance, diversity, strength”

Although eventually embracing many eastern customs, the Seleucids are renowned for their city building and civil engineering, driving Greek colonisation and Hellenization. Furnished with expert cavalry, including cataphracts, horse skirmishers and war elephants, Seleucid armies also sport a solid core of excellent spear and pike infantry provided by a growing number of Greek-speaking colonists.

As the campaign begins, such measures are a necessity when faced with the continuing threat from their Ptolemaic Egyptian neighbours and upheaval among the Seleucid's satrapies. Ever the opportunists however, the Seleucid kings may yet turn the tables, bringing much of Alexander’s former western empire under their sway.

Founded by Seleucus Nicator, or Seleucus the Victor, at its height the vast Seleucid Empire stretched from western Anatolia as far east as the Indus River. During the turmoil of the Wars of the Successors, the Seleucids were able to claim and expand Alexander the Great’s eastern empire, as well as parts of Asia Minor.

Seleucus sealed his overall victory at the Battle of Ipsus in 301 BC. Fielding 500 war elephants, gained through negotiating peace on his eastern border with the Emperor Chandragupta Maurya, his forces proved decisive. The territory under his control contained a diverse range of eastern subcultures, which rapidly became Hellenized by the ruling Macedonian elite and a flood of Greek settlers.

Despite a sometimes precarious position at home, the Seleucids now plan to expand. But where? Into Ptolemaic Egypt? Or beyond, to Alexander’s former western empire in Greece and Macedon? Influenced by their cultural assimilation of eastern culture, The Seleucids have little tolerance for the concept and practice of slavery. As a heavily multicultural society, they also suffer less from public order issues arising from foreign cultures entering their territories. In battle, the Seleucids have access to a wide-ranging roster; as such, they can field capable, balanced and incredibly diverse armies and navies.

Free-LC

The Seleucids will be available free in content update coming soon.

Hi guys,

Today we’re announcing our post-launch support plans for Total War: ROME II, and the good news for you is that it involves free stuff, as well as a wide array of high-quality paid-for DLC content with additional bonus features.

Alongside paid-for DLC, we’re planning to support players with regular free content and feature updates.

James Russell, Lead Designer on Total War: ROME II, said, “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,”

“We are also very proud of how SHOGUN 2 is our most moddable Total War to date with over 500 user-made mods on Steam Workshop alone. We hope to support ROME II in a similar fashion.”

While the Greek States Culture Pack DLC and free Pontus playable faction update will arrive day one; by October, you’ll also be able to add the Seleucid Empire Factions - Total War Wiki to your playable faction roster for free and the Nomadic Tribes Culture Pack featuring the Royal Scythians, Roxolani and Massagetae as paid-DLC.

That’s a whole faction! For free! On top of Pontus!

Have a great weekend,

Craig.

Μάθαμε και πιο θα είναι το επόμενο DLC. Nomadic Tribes Culture Pack featuring the Royal Scythians, Roxolani and Massagetae.

Μήνυμα απο Dixons - Κωτσόβολο σήμερα που 'μου τα μασάνε '....

Δεν κρατήθηκα τελικά και έδωσα παραγγελία στις 18 του μήνα για την collectors/αντικαταβολή.. Όλα ήταν ΟΚ ώσπου με ειδοποίησαν για καθυστέρηση παραλαβής προιόντος από τον προμηθευτή κτλ. Θα περιμένω ένα 2ήμερο ακόμα και αν πάλι αρχίσουν τα μα-μου, άκυρο και πάω για την απλή όπου βρω.
