Jack Lusted's Macedon Campaign Posted

I also like how Romans get a more modern style general more focused on supporting the main formation rather than running around with the other combat units

I don't find that logical at all. Generals were mounted prettymuch everywhere, pretty much since the invetion of the chariot. The romans also probably are among the most unequestrian People featured in R2TW.

The only argument I can find for it is that roman generals are cowards, and that's rather polemic.

I was not thinking of a general who runs around with combat units and engage in cavalry skirmishes. (Makedonian/Successor Generals) I'm thinking more of run around the main infantry line and provide morale support (Mounted to move faster to wavering locations) and once in a while do some sneaky flank attacks if no units are in the way.

EDIT: I believe all Roman generals are mounted in Rome 2 in the first place as historically many of them were mostly on their horsies. Note that I never mentioned Roman generals on foot. I only say that they are there to support the main infantry line instead of going elsewhere to fight.

I'm liking everything apart from the unit cards (those will get some getting used to). I'm also getting a feeling that basically every city is it's own minor faction?

Also I can't wait for the day where they will let us play Thrace.

No rebel faction, it's all like Shogun 2 which is quite nice. They probably optimized turn times too to accommodate the tons of individual factions.

One province minors probably don't take up too much processing time. Most of what they do might as well be scripted with no need for AI.

In my Shogun 2 campaign that one province minor turned into a super faction which to me is quite fun.

Happens pretty often too. So I would for the sake of simplicity keep the general CAI but have ai's tailored for specific factions i.e The main ones like Shogun 2.

Don't want CA messing up something else too you know... :P

I very much like the addition of extra management of provinces, not just building in the capital of the province. Plus, sieges in port cities have to be balanced by blockading the port, another detail that I like.
