CA failed with the little and important things

after playing rome total war for months and reading dozens threads i have come to the frustrating conclusion that rome total war could have been a great game because of beautiful battels never seen in pc games before
because of a good conception (map , diplomacy ets) and because the gameplay
but this little things... i don't understand how the people of CA could not have noticed -
years without a child
millions of denarii per year if you have 3 protectorates
huge fleets that don't attack your 1 boat
peace war peace war with one faction without logic
you can bribe everyone but they cant bribe you
diplomats who can march only 200 km per 6 month wayyy ?
one city faction that don't want peace with your 50 provinces empire...
you cant post balistas on walls wayyyyyyyyyyyyy?
and so on
this little bugs are just ruin the game
again , how and why CA didn't think about all of this

i am going back to my books

i came i sow what the hell is going on

If I could be bothered to make a list of good points about the game it would be wayyyyyyyyyyy longer than your list of bad points. I mean are you saying books are more fun than rtw?

as i said it could have been a great game but its not

It seems that the patch introduced a major bug with the game difficulty settings. Hard and Very Hard are now easier than the medium setting. Figures doesn't it?
