7 out 10 (i would have rated vanilla RTW 6 so it is an improvment)

my real problem with the game is the lackluster unit choices (they went overboard trying to make the european factions play a little different and so you end up with the speerless brits etc) and the awful trait system... i dont know if ive been spoiled by the wonderful traits and ancillary system some of the Rome mods had but the m2tw system leaves me cold - its very difficult to improve you characters pious in fact id say its easier to lose what little you start with - as soon as they release the unpacker i intend to completely overhaul the conditions for getting traits i nan attmept to fix it


still better than Vanilla rome tho
