    Well, Rome:TW can be called a moderate success already.

    New players i speak with also experience some of the bugs & command issues (ordering a line forward across a bridge for example), but not nearly as many as me.

    They really struggle with the financial model, and the squalor, and find that challenging. They enjoy the battles they play as they are easy to command.

    It is mostly the fan base that has been negative/disillusioned during the last 4 months.


    As for game balance, i hope this time spears actually work against horses. I think its a bit lame seeing triarii mowed down by light infantry. You almost believed me there....

    Spear Warbands are nearly invincible - you charge into the back of them and they whip around and slaughter your cav in seconds. The only way I have beaten them (without archers) is to sacrifice a cheap unit to pin them down. But if the germans have 10 spear warbands and I don't outnumber them then its not gonna happen -

    This patch should allow my cav to charge with the lance, into the back of the Spears, then start chopping them up with swords at close range, rather than still using the lance, and maybe, just maybe my cav will win...

    But the comp is so good at charging head on into a phalanx and routing it

    I also hate it when I have militia hoplites surrounded on the town square and they are some how mysteriously racking up the casualties.
    When a fox kills your chickens, do you kill the pigs for seeing what happened? No you go out and hunt the fox.
