Rally point 26: Blood and Burning!

Eh, Im fine with their infantry getting the guerrilla deployment but not their artillery.

Anyways heres the trailer for it. I like it.

The blood and burning DLC is on sale on steam now for $2.99

I am waiting for it to download on steam. It said it is playable as of today 3/25. I have to wait for the Celtic DLC to download first.

So the general consensus Ive been reading on the blood pack is that its not all that great. The blood disappears after about 10 seconds.

BUT

Radious to the rescue!

He released a blood mod which brings it up to par with the Rome 2 blood pack, so Im rather satisfied with it now. Only problem is that Im getting a bit of a performance hit in big battles with a lot of blood.

I can see why they were dissapointed Hooahguy. I thought the blood and gore DLC on R2 was far superior out of the box.

I am also having lag issue that I didnt have previuosly and I havent even downloaded Radius' mod which keeps the blood stains longer. I had to turn the graphics settings down a bit to get performance similar to what I remembered before. I did take a couple weeks break and re-downloaded Empire and Shogun 2 to mess around with . I wouldnt think installing those older games would have peeled back my direct x or something similar, right?

I have to say I was pretty dissapointed last night when starting up a new Pict campaign.

<Edit> - Lag wasn't as bad this afternoon as I remembered from last night.....
