Yup. Not to say Medieval II is a bad game, but if it wasn't for the prospect of EBII, I probably wouldn't have bothered buying it.Originally Posted by Trax

No it's not a bad game and I'm going to play some mods while waiting for EB.
As a matter of fact it's probably a better game than RTW because the AI isn't completely braindead.
Re: Rome 2 Total War and Europa Barbarorum
Hey! Which mods, if I am alloud to ask? I havent found any that were at least a little bit accurate. DotS is still in the making...

Stainless steel and Broken crescent improves on it, but it's nowhere near EB's levels.
There's Third Age too, if you're interested in LotR.
Re: Rome 2 Total War and Europa Barbarorum
I bought it last year but installed it only few weeks ago. I've been playing Broken Crescent.
Probably the least frustrating Total War experience I've ever had. Diplomacy really seems to work.
Re: Rome 2 Total War and Europa Barbarorum
I've just finished watching the E3 demo. What can I say? It looks like an arcade game. I probably won't even get it before the first major realism mods come out and I certainly don't plan to buy a new computer just for RTW2. If it turns out that the game isn't very moddable, then I probably won't buy it at all.
Re: Rome 2 Total War and Europa Barbarorum
Seconded. It looks far too fast, silly, and based on gimmicks.
Re: Rome 2 Total War and Europa Barbarorum
What I cannot understand is why the CA keeps using the same old, stupid, unrealistic and ridiculous "synchronised flying soldiers" effect during charges. Come on, it doesn't even look cool. In LOTR, the overpowered Rohan charge doesn't send orcs flying, the projectiles fired from trebuchets just smash the enemies etc. What is the appeal of this effect, then? Wouldn't even a casual gamer want to see something more brutal and less silly?
