Must say I am really enjoying Ceasar in Gaul at the moment. I am loving how historical it is (especially as Rome) and it feels much more like the game Rome II should've been. Quite happy I got it. Definatly worth 15 euro's.

I couldn't find any reviews that said it was 'bad' only many complaints that the state of the game was still bad so they weren't going to buy dlc's, but I gave it a go. Originally Posted by Xeones

The tech system is awesome (if you are Rome atleast), there is lots of historical basis there are alot of quotes from the book Ceasar wrote about his wars in Gaul. You can actually do things with characters like Marc Anthony or indirectly interact with the Optimates Party or do something in the Triumvirate.
And I like the gameplay it's much more fun then rome II because the map is smaller there are alot of factions that actually do stuff and I think they've really built on what went wrong in Rome II.
Overall I am giving it a 7/10 after playing it for 90 minutes today, might still go up or down depending on what happens after this.

I uninstalled it the other day. Not because of gameplay or anything, but because the patching process they're using for it is so much shit. Takes forever to even install a small patch for some reason. None of my other games do this.

Wow...
Not impressed.Sir Robin, the Not-Quite-So-Brave-As-Sir-Lancelot.
Who had nearly fought the Dragon of Angnor.
Who had almost stood up to the vicious Chicken of Bristol.
And who had personally wet himself, at the Battle of Badon Hill.

I suspect that Atilla is to Rome II as Napoleon was to Empire. Originally Posted by Nerraw

Pretty much Barbarian Invasion 2.0 under a different name. I like it, since Barbarian Invasion was superior to Rome in every aspect, just as Napoleon was superior to Empire (well, there were obviously less factions and the map was restricted to Europe, but the gameplay was 2x better than in Empire) and Fall of the Samurai was MASSIVELY superior to Shogun 2. Hopefully Attila will continue that trend.

I'm a fan of the Byz so I would be lying if I claimed I wasn't interested. However, Rome II was so shockingly bad that there is no way that they are getting a preorder or launch purchase out of me. Will wait for the reviews and a sale on steam before even considering it.

A lot of the changes seem to be just reverting back to pre-Rome 2 systems

Her hall is called Eljudnir,
her dish is Hunger,
her knife is Famine,
her slave is Lazy,
and Slothful is her woman servant.

Speaking of Rome 2's launch, how's that new free upgrade? I haven't had time to play it yet. Just my luck that all the good things get released just as I start doing something with my life for the first time in 9 months.

2014-09-25, 06:31 PM #1416ChellyGuestGame still looks worse than Shogun 2 on my computer, and I have everything on ultra/extreme. The AI is still a bit "eehh" sometimes. Originally Posted by Nerraw

Yeah, didn't expect much in that department. I'm thinking more of the changes they've made to the family stuff system, since it was prominently featured in the notes. Does it feel better/worse? Originally Posted by Chelly

Just the way that Civil Wars work (there now tied directly to your families influence), and even that is still slightly buggy. Saying that, i've been playing my Legendary campaign as Rome for nearly 100 turns now and haven't had a single one despite my family being dominant for the entire game, supposedly its tied with Imperium levels as well, so maybe i'll get some more later on.

I've had units of Oathsworn absolutely surrounded and down to 30 men still on confident, charged enemy units attacking my battle line in the back with cavalry and not break, stuff like that, still needs some tweaking in that regard.
The enemy seige AI has finally been fixed. No more using the ladders once per game and then leaving them entirely. Unfortunately this also brings into light the utter bugginess of moving troops onto walls that has been in since release, but wasn't a major issue, since at most you'd have 4 enemy units on the walls. The campaign AI is slightly more aggressive, and they've had a lot of econ nerfs accross the board, to make it so that barbarian factions weren't just steamrolling everything with 4 20 stacks at turn 10.
The building chain changes are the big positive for me, since i've always liked specialising my Provinces, the Barbarians and Eastern Factions seem to have come off best in this, with a lot of new buildings for both. Romans came out ok, and it seems like Hellenics got the worst end of the stick, barely got any new buildings, but then they've pretty much
always had the most anyway.
Fingers crossed that Atilla is the Fall of the Samurai to Rome, FotS was far superior to Shogun, if it is, i'll be picking it up at release.Last edited by mmoc8116b97f51; 2014-09-25 at 08:54 PM.
