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....
