Best update in some time guys. Ai is very active indeed. The Romans are crushing it. Nothing can compare what you just have done with this. Brilliant stuff. Please don't change anything. I would say this is just perfect. Great.

Mehnues this mod already has larger unit sizes as part of the mod. All units are about 30-35% larger. If you have larger units than that you will have major path finding issues and blobs and siege battles will be broken + the lag will be great. I have messes around with double or triple unit size mods and although it looked cool it messed up unit balance and battles very much and my computer just could not play as the battles just cugged along at very low frame rates. If you want more units to make battles longer? I would use the Longer Battles sub mod- battles are plenty long with that.

Comment on version 9.1. The Ai seems to me to be more aggressive-maybe too much. Will have to play on Normal. There is a new supply mechanic or something it is costing more to campaign in other parts of the map far away from home. That makes it more of a challenge. The battles the ai looks like it really focuses on attacking my flank and targets my stronger units with missiles. Battles last longer now. Good stuff. I tried out the Annihilation sub mod-it was just too insane for my taste- I was destroyed by turn 10. Only for the best players out there. Turn times are getting longer in mid to late games-but that seems to be the case on most mods. Not absurd turn time like DEI-that is unplayable at the moment. Other wise this is an ok update not a huge improvement like some of the others in the past. My guess is that you guys have squeezed all you can out of Rome 2. This is Still miles ahead of other mods in terms of game play and Ai behaviors. Thanks.

I have been using the Stronger Rome sub mod and it is a killer app. Does make the Romans to be feared more than ever. Looking forward to the next update.

Creo que hay algunas facciones que tienen más de un tipo de gobierno.

IMHO this mod only comes alive using the Bran Campaign AI and Battle AI sub mods. Essential to use. Without them this mod is limp. I hope the developers finish this mod as it has so much potential.

Wow this mod has fallen off the radar. It used to be the most popular Rome 2 mod here for the last year or so. Now the over rated DEI mod is back on top. That is a damn shame as this mod beats the pants off DEI or the very over rated Radious mod. In any case this is still the best and greatest and most fun to play overhaul mod for Rome 2. I will always sing praises to the developers of the fantastic mod. If you love this mod like I love this mod give a shout out for it. Thanks Toon and Bran Mac Born you have provided me with a year of the best Total War game play I have had.
HAIL.

You guys are Legends! You have made the battles the best ever in any Total War game-this version of the mod surpasses everything before it. This version has taken the campaign to new heights with more engaging diplomacy,naval invasions,better ai army mixes,tougher sieges and boy they are tough. I have played 155 turns and no crashes yet. You continue to astound me with every new update-the mod continues to get better every time-how do you do this? This is far and away the best mod for Rome 2. This leaves the other big overhaul mods eating dust in terms of game play and fun. Hail this version. Note: I find the continued ignorance and silence about this masterpiece of a mod on other Total War sites to be baffling and very very strange indeed. Boy people do not know what they are missing-fools if they have not tried this mod. Happy Days!

8.6 fantastic update! The battles are way more intense and challenging. Campaign just explodes with action and war-freaking great, man o man is this super fun and exciting-never a dull moment. Diplomacy is indeed improved, just love it. Naval battles now fleets are roaming everywhere and it is dangerous to travel by sea-and holey hell the naval invasions, I really have to protect my coasts now. Romans are just monsterous devils-I hate them-dammit so tough. Taking cities is just hard and the enemy will rape you if you don't bring your A game to the battle. AAA+ just the best Rome 2 ever- really fellas this superb tremendous mod just got better! Hail!

Outstanding update! Campaign is exploding all over the map and the Romans are really expanding-they are super aggressive. Love it. Economy is harder, but not impossible-a better challenge. Diplomacy is more logical, factions making interesting alliances. Battles are longer and tougher- better struggle and sieges are very epic now-you will need at least two armies to take major cities. I did not think you could improve on what I think is the best mod for Rome 2 and you just did-wow. Awesome just awesome. You rock!

Version 8.4 is just awesome! Great update guys. Battles are perfect. Thanks for making this mod even better. Fun fun fun. Love it.

Been playing version 8.3 and the battles are still fantastic. So far-hoplites hold the line much better. Economics things are more expensive and I have to be careful now on how to spend money. Playing as Massilia and the Gauls are a real pain-always attacking- lucky I have Rome as an ally and they are cleaning things up for me. Carthage is now at war with me and they have some scary navies. I see that you guys did some stuff with the politics cause I have to keep rivals at bay. The mod is still stable-at turn 35 no problems at all-never had any problems with any of the other versions, so great job on that front. Nothing to complain about still the most fun Rome 2 mod out there-a real challenge too-thanks again for updating and continuing to improve the mod-it is the best-just excellent.

Update on v8.2 turn 52- I lost Athens to the Romans-they broke the non aggression pact and attacked with 3 full stacks first taking Sparta from Epirus- I counter attacked and was repulsed- they then sent two stack to siege and sent another naval fleet and then attack full on with 3 stacks-I could not take that force, I killed as many as I could 5400-Now I am held up at Pella with two armies and the Romans are going to get me from the North 2 legions and South 3 legions. All my allies in the area have been destroyed by Rome. I still have some holdings in Asia Minor- hopefully will make some more allies in that region and counter attack-a stressfull campaign as I scratch and claw for some territory-very tough campaign indeed. Fun stuff-love it.

Quick report on version 8.2 test as Athens Hard difficulty 30 turns- Ai is really aggressive-wars all over! Romans are just beasts-they have taken most of the Balkans and Sardina and are moving East. Luck have it I have Non Aggression and trade pack with them. But they are scary expanding fast. Carthage navies are a terror-sank all my navies-they moved west in North Africa. Pontus is moving South East and is becoming a monster-They are at War with Selucids and Egypt. Battles seem more difficult as enemy likes to retreat units back and regroup and I am seeing more enemy units getting boosts from Generals in battles-Enemy Generals are a pain in the butt-important to kill them now. Cavalry is way harder to kill now and they are to be feared. So battles are improved. Also it is a bit more difficult on the political side-will have to pay more attention to that part of the game. Too early to tell what awaits-but it looks like I will have to fight those Romans cause they are causing so much havok. Excellent update and stable-no crashes. Good Job.

Is there going to be another update? Or is this the final version?

Version 8.1 started new campaign as Massilia allied with the Romans? Well that helps. I am getting really hammered by the Gallic tribes as I try to move North. The Macrommanii German tribe are attacking South. The Romans expanded fast to the North but stopped and are trying to take Sicily now. Tylis in a war with Macedon and Sparta took Athens. Battles seem to be better as ai flanks better and uses reserve troops. Only up to turn 15 and there are wars all over the map as the ai is very active indeed. Good update so far, great work as usual.

I am on turn 150 and the campaign world is now in different power blocks East VS West for the most part. Huge armies and Navies clash-truly I understand what this means it really is a War of the Gods. Using the More Armies submod. This is action packed and super fun! Love it. Just what I was looking for. Never thought Rome 2 would be fun-well this mod makes it bloody fun-very bloody!I have played that Bran guy's stuff for Napoleon and Empire too - I see his stamp on this the way the Ai really goes after you. Please do not mess this mod up it is great the way it is so many times modders add too much stuff that bogs down the game play. It is just purfect as is. Just don't mess with it as is is stable- never had a crash yet-unlike other more well known mods. Great job.

Bravo excellent mod. Just fantastic! The best I have played. Everyone needs to try out this freaking great mod. Incredible what your guys have done here. Salute.
