New unit at the com: Roman Comitatenes !!

[lars573]

What the hell guys.

No Ca isnt evil. I obviously like their games as i am a member here.
Im not complaining about accuarcy it looks very accurate.
The unit just didnt look that good to me and why cant i have an opinion. I didnt look at the unit hoping it would look bad. I was hoping it would be nice. I was pleased by the historicalness, but the looks just didnt suit me. The mods add a lot of detail but it usually makes the game go quicker on my computer.

Man, I have been attacked like five times now for thiniking the unit doesnt look good. That is my opinion. I wouldnt be suprised if members here liked it. That would be their opinion.

The people that are claiming that im being hard on CA are at the same time being hard on me for having an opinion.

Sorry, i didnt know im not supposed to have an opinion, is this better.

OMG, this new unit is AWESOME. PRAISE CA!!! Im not going to get any sleep now. Looking at this one new unit is so much cooler than looking at the 50 mods have made. THANK YOU CA!

I personally think my opinon adds more to the discusion, but i get it now. People in the Colleseum dont want to hear opinions only praise.

The problem people have is your constant comparison of BI to EB. I know I'm tired of it. Now leaving aside that EB is everything I don't want in a mod, and I was never impressed with EB skins. Your constant comparisons would be enough to try the patience of anyone. To sum up your a broken record on the BI vs EB. People are tired of hearing and they let you have it in this thread.

^pretty much it, although I kept quiet...

personally EB looks interesting to me but I'm sure I'm going to love BI also... EB couldn't exist if CA hadn't made R:TW... and I think with the release of BI many more possibilities will open up for interested modders. The vanilla game in itself will be enjoyable to me, but the ability of the modders just adds to that - and I see a number of persons, maybe not yourself, but a number who seem to never have anything good to say about CA...

and no matter what part of life, a person who constantly complains is a nuisance to be around... with the first unit there was a huge outcry about fantasy units... with the second now ppl are complaining that it doesn't look pretty enough? It's just like... give me a break - if I was CA I would be wondering at the value of giving previews... as many here know - this board does not represent a majority of the CA audience, just it's most discerning portions...

? I compared it to EB here only after i was already attacked for not liking the unit.

I'm not the only one who thinks most mods look better than BI.

I actually rarely complain. Not once will you ever see me complain in the MTW forum.

Things i have complained about-

historical accuaracy- nobody can argue that CA lakes in this department
this unit doesnt look good.-Im not the only one who thinks this.

with the first unit there was a huge outcry about fantasy units... with the second now ppl are complaining that it doesn't look pretty enough?

ofcourse there was an outcry on the first one, if you disagree with people not liking how that unit was put in then post your reasons there.

I have lost a lot of respect for what i once thought was a perfect community. You guys are sounding much more than a broken record than me.
"GO CA. YOU GUYS ROCK. RTW IS PERFECT.

I like the total war franchise and i played everyone of there games. As a fan it is my right and responsiblity to complain.

BTW, why did this turn into a hate thread. I gave my honest opinion of the unit and i would like to hear other peoples. That is the purpose of the thread i thought.

oh well guys, just flame away, you should be proud.

[lars573]

But in both threads on the BI units, yours was the loudest and most constant voice of seeming disapproval on the look of the units.

I'm not the only one who thinks most mods look better than BI.

Actually most mod skins look sub professional. You put up with the poor looks because you like what the mod is doing.

[Mongoose]

poor looks in EB? ignorance is bliss i guess....

I have to agree with King of Atlantis when he says that he does not like it. It LOOKS like a run-over light auxilia, or something. However, I would expect that by the time of the the barbarian invasions the west roman army would have lower quality non-golden imperial age standard equipment.
Remember that one of the reasons why the legions kept marching on Rome and deposing emperors favoring their commander was that they did not get enough money and support. By the time of the late empire, Rome would not be economically able to support all those shiny lorica segmentata clad legionnaires (they kept emmiting more money, which only made things worse because of inflation). So, all you get for an elite unit is this half-caste lame excuse for a leggionaire.
Hope that brought a little sobriety to this quickly escalating thread ;)
