Yeah I saw that and tried it out. One problem with it I have is that you can only really go with the 4tpy with this. If you do 2tpy, it might annoy you that the winter in a year comes before the summer (which may be true in some parts of central Europe, depending how you look at it). 4tpy just makes the game sooooooo slow... I guess I can't complain though for getting a feature modded into the game, CA expects you to pay for.
I see how that can be a problem. I play with 4tpy anyways so this mod is like a godsend.

One further comment as well while I'm thinking about it, the idea of "mod it so it's the way you want it" is that it assumes an unstated premise, that I actually feel any strong compulsion to hunt down and install some random guys idea of how Rome 2 should work in order to "fix it".
In reality, my take on games assumes no such premise. I work off a much more basic concept instead when consuming PC gaming entertainment: devs produce and release their game, I buy it, play it, and decide if I like it. The product stands or falls in my eyes based on how it is presented, no more, no less. If I like it, I play it a lot, if I don't I'll almost always finish it and be done with it. All works of entertainment in my book deserve completion to properly assess them.
I've done that with Rome 2 and my conclusion is when you juxtapose it against the preceding work, it is easily the most wrong headed game design release in a LONG time. It shows no cohesive vision like it's predecessor so clearly did, it shows every sign of not being play tested at all, and the game design decisions are so bad I remain fully convinced this isn't even the same team that worked on this that produced Shogun 2.
But all is not lost, as I said, I'm enjoying GIC.![]()

I really wouldnt be surprised if they made a Barbarian Invasion 2, with everything that Rome 2 lacked. Like family trees. And a better trait system. It will be like NTW was to ETW. More focused and overall better.

They'll put all that in a new game, don't worry =p
My imperium is creeping up pretty high now that I've got 13 provinces in my CIG campaign, can I anticipate the same completely stupid magic army materializing out of thin air beaming down from the starship enterprise at some point in my future?
I'm of course assuming CA didn't actually read what everyone thought of their civil war implementation in the main campaign and just left the stupid thing in CIG in some equally retarded implementation, so I'd like to know what I'm about to be faced with (and by faced with I mean of course watch magic army from the heavens scatter and starve to death with no impact whatsoever).

Is the civil war even in CiG? I dont remember anyone mentioning it was.

To be fair, if they made the civil war stacks immune to attrition I'd say Legendary will become downright unplayable for most factions. The rebels have more armies AND agents than you, they have seemingly enough money to always spam agent actions against you and their armies are of comparable or slightly better quality than yours. Honestly I don't know how we're supposed to beat 10 stacks with our 6 under these conditions. Sure, the BAI is kind of stupid, but really how much brain does it take to roll over 12,000 men with 30,000 men?
The art of war, then, is governed by five constant
factors, to be taken into account in one's deliberations,
when seeking to determine the conditions obtaining in the field.
These are: (1) The Moral Law; (2) Heaven; (3) Earth;
(4) The Commander; (5) Method and discipline.

I'm doubting that they will make a direct remake of any expansion or even make it a stand alone. So far no expansion from previous TWs has been directly remade in the game's sequel's expansion cycle. Though some are somewhat related like RoTS and Mongol Invasion (Around same time frame) or Britannia Campaign and Viking Invasion. (Same theme but different time frames)

I'm just being really negative about this ^^ Don't take me seriously.
