Finally, got Rome 2 to work again last night. So, what's the consensus, should we continue with this one or switch? Like Myth said, patches have advanced quite far since this campaign started with significant implications for the game-play. Steam-rolling as was common several patches ago, is not likely to be possible in campaigns started fresh (on highest difficulties at least).

Ironically, the patches make most of the "let's play" youtube videos obsolete. Whatever those original posters were doing 6 months ago would not work at this point...
