No review for Attila? 🙁
Hope to see a review for Total War Atilla, can’t agree more with Joe’s review of Rome II
After a year of fixing the game, CA did manage to put together a good piece. The game is much, much better now than at the release. Actually its one of my favourite games right now. Many buggs are fixed, optimalization was succesful, tech trees and buildings were added and balanced…its good now.
Everyone who did buy it and (like me) was disappointed, try the Emperor Edition, you will be surprised.
I want to tell you that you are the best, everything you said about the game was finally fixed, they even used some of your words in the fixes patches “unit brawls”.
Now Attila is coming, they must fix this…:
The only thing that was left behind and I think is still one of the most important ones, is in multiplayer. I play this game only in multiplayer with my brother.
In Napoleon and Shogun 2, the player than was not playing his turn, still could queue units and buildings, that saved allot of time, with a 5 minutes turn you could do everything, was more like 10 minutes…, building and units during other player turn and moving armies and agents during your turn. Now you can’t do nothing more than reading the encyclopedia… and you can’t change the turn time length either, another thing that can be done in Napoleon and Shogun 2 when you resume as host, chose turn time length. In Rome 2, if 5 minutes is not enough time you are fucked because you can’t change that.
Many thanks,
José Pujol.
