In Rome II I already started to feel like that when I had only conquered Turkey as Pontus. The game also never really gives you the feeling that you are extremely big and untouchable. The AI will try to exploit your every weakness. When you are fighting a very expensive war, be prepared to be attacked by smaller nations who want parts of your territory. Annex too many provinces at once, and you'll find that everyone around you will form coalitions against you. You also have to constantly watch your back in that game. It also still bothers me that rome II only supports campaign multiplayer for two people, while EU IV can support at maximum around 32 people in one game.Īt first I was a little sceptical about EU IV, but I actually really love it, because of the fact that it is very hard (even in easy you still have a challenge), allows you to play virtually play EVERY nation in the entire world between 14, and has such a refined and awesome diplomatic system that you can spend hours simply trying to create the best peace treaties possible for your nation. Hmm, although I liked rome II it simply had way too many issues and was way too easy.
That is before you even come to a better Tech tree and better city management.įrom the start CA have focused on improving the battle map, with mainly only adding better graphics at the campaign map level. The increased number of quicker turns that would result could then facilitate a return to seasonal turns on the longer games, and bring back that strategic and tactical element. This could easily be built into the gameplay by having higher costs from war (war weariness and expense) and having peace treaties be unbreakable/incur a severe diplomatic penalty for doing so within a set number of turns.
The longest period of continuous conflict between states I can think of is the thirty years war. Historically wars tended to be shorter affairs with long periods of peace in-between. It only took Ceasar a few days to construct a bridge over the rhine for example.Īlso another bugbear of mine in the Total War games, somewhat ironic given the name I know, how about giving peace a chance at times. That said, Total War can REALLY used extra strategy.įor starters being able to build roads/bridges where you want to go, like the actual romans did!. It depends on what kind of games you like.
Europa Universalis (as well as Crusader Kings for that matter) are the opposite of that - very basic tactics but tons of strategy. Rome II (and the Total War games in general) focus mainly on tactics during individual battles and have very underdeveloped strategical aspect. 2K A Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia.844 A Total War Saga: Fall of the Samurai.
