No Blood in RTW

It's either blood or more units on the battlefield.
CA went with the more units option, I am glad to say.

We're not saying we need it. Just saying it would be cool.

Options are the spice of life. I don't understand why people have to argue over it if it was an option. People who didnt like to see blood or whose systems couldn't handle the extra graphic processing required, could choose to switch blood off, just like i chose to switch shadows/detailed shadows off so i get better performance in the game (and I have a 7800GTX OC). I wouldn't mind the extra performance hit by turning on blood, as to me it would add to the immersion factor of this already great game.

You dont need blood for the Tw games,
The dead bodys Piled up infront and throughout your frontline "consisting of 1 Very depleted unit" at the end of a battle with HUGE unit sizes, Gives me a adequate feeling of the Futility of war.
Cours STW was the best game to give you an eery feeling when you stand over your vanquished enemy as his last few units rout.
You can over look the battle feild and imagine some of those sprites still reathing in aggony.
as the mist rolls down the mountain side.
Blood would just be a nother Effect that could cause lag/bugs. and would probably Go unoticed for the most part.
Expeshialy in RTW,
Granted I Did Set RTW to all the best settings for a game,
and i even zoomed in close as eliphants smashed through an opponents unit,
Ive also been following chariots trying to see blades of grass being cut...
But really.
How is that improoving the game play?
Improoving the game play IMHO is not...
Make it look nicer so they will want to go watch the eliphants in stead of plan there second phaze.

More units. Or higer number of men on feild, Would IMHO be the best way to improove the tw games,

That And Make the Ai Notice when Its being Attacked by seige equipment or ranged attack would be nice.

omfg...I didnt say we NEEDED it. I said it would be COOOLLLL.

I didnt say it was the best way to improve gameplay. but it would improve the fun of the game.

And I can say I spend most of my time watching fights rather than planning battles. CA made the AI retarded. So if not improving this, might as well improve the show!

Why aren't there Uranian Death Rays? They would be COOL, and make them an option to turn them off for the dumb puritans who don't like them!

**JLEACH** · 01-11-2006, 02:26

I dont think they had uranian death rays in the roman per...errm EVER. But they did and still have blood. So I think someone should mod that in. You can make your rays if you want to. I'll stick with a more historical and realistic feel.

What are you talking about lamer?

God you suck.

Actually, it's pretty much:
More blood or more sales
Since Blood=M rating --> Less sales

And yes, I would like having some blood in battle.
It just look ridiculus too see all those dead boding without a single drop of blood anyware.
They are dead people, NOT zombies or vampires for god sake.
