My experience after playing 2.0a for a few hours:

Bad:
- (!!!) Crashes are still common, even with hotfix.
- (!!) Generals and Agents don't gain any experience. Whole system is disabled or broken it seems.
- (!!) Diplomacy doesn't exist; almost every faction that you will encounter will declare war on you, even if you have good relations with them or non aggression pacts. So it's impossible to play the mod in a peaceful (for a Total War game) way. It feels like Attila TW WRE on Legendary. Let me expand those mines and farms a bit! ;)
- (!) Army stances like Forced March and Raiding are partially broken. Forced March is too weak and has wrong name.
- (!) Optimization is off during battles and the game suffers from high vRAM usage even on lower settings.
- Lot's of missing text and empty descriptions.
- Balance is a bit off; some buildings are useless, but others are too strong, Chariots are OP, you can steamroll almost anything with them, Egyptian Archers are OP too. Most regular infantry units sucks.
- Music during battles is too loud. You have to decrease it to 50% to have vanilla Rome 2 sound experience.
- Settlement maps are off. For example, some African settlements are basically European Barbarian settlements from vanilla game.
- Tribesmen have wrong animations.
- Sanitation covers only the city, not the whole region, so you need to spam it in every settlement, which is weird and unbalanced.
- Only 2 factions are playable (Egyptian Empire and Hittite Empire) but even these 2 are not fleshed out.

Good:
- Most models, textures and units are well made. Good job. Who knows, maybe these models will even beat TW: Pharaoh models?
- Unit cards are also well made. You can feel Bronze Age like atmosphere. They truly feel like they were created by a professional studio for a commercial game. UI reskin is also good.
- Map is well made.

TLDR:. Currently the mod is very good for custom battles, but the campaign needs a lot of work.
Thank you guys for all the work you have done for this mod.
And let's remember that it's a free mod made by passionate modders in their free time.
