(I installed the latest patch so please don't respond by telling me to install it)
Ok, I'll start this out by saying that I am a huge Rome Total War fan. Despite the bugs the game was entertaining and BI improved on RTW and made it more fun to play. Naturally I expected a lot from MTW2. What I got however from MTW2 was more RTW with the exact same pathing bugs and formation problems. Additionally, we got new bugs like the Cavalry refusing to charge, even worse pathing problems in fortresses and citadels and troops more frequently changing to an undesired formation as soon as you order them to move. Is it to much to ask that if a game developer makes nice battlegrounds to fight on that the pieces they give you to play with be able to move around properly on that ground. I can't tell you the amount of times I have lined up my troops just how I wanted them then grouped them and as soon as I move them the formation reverts to a single line or everyone just goes where they want. Worse than that is the fact that almost every time I attack an enemy army in the field I find that they are on top of a mountain and trying to move my troops or siege equipment up there is impossible because the troops will not listen.
Another thing that is bothering me is the fact that with BI I was able to change my facton heir and now in MTW I can not. This is really irritating considering the fact that this game allows hereditary traits that are passed from father to son. Often my Emperor's son has a good command rating and or dread ect and is the best choice to succeed his father.
I like that spies and assassins have gotten back their teeth. I use assassins a lot. I have nearly killed all the mongol family members (only 1 remains). Last Jihad againt me the army had 3 family memebers in it and now has 0 :) . So don't get me wrong I really like the game but its frustrating me to the point that I might just uninstall it.
Please fix 1) The pathing ! There is no reason to still have the same pathing problems from RTW!
2) fix the formation bug which makes my trops forget how I grouped them once I move them. How can I successfully attack this way without saving and reloading every battle till this does not happen.
3) fix the cavalry so they charge properly and just as important withdraw properly. I can't tell you how many times I've tried to withdraw my cav so they can charge again for them to refuse because one guy won't give up the fight...or I tell them to run somewhere and they refuse and walk and are not tired...
4) Please, please give me control over my faction. Let me designate my faction heir.
I know this was long. Thanks for reading it.
