Just got back to Shogun 2 after a few months break. Have they balanced the mixed avatar battles yet? I haven't had any success against modern armies with a samurai army, though I'm disappointed that I had one fair battle and I screwed it up. Someone was playing a fully traditional army, but I presumed to be facing a lot of rifles so I changed my army composition to include more cavalry than I'm skilled with  Also, is there any documentation on all the different leader descriptions? Most of them are pretty self explanatory, but I just saw someone who only had the title 'Dishonourable Coward'. I presume he earned that by ragequitting a lot.

Hammerstein posted:I hope they bring back the hilarious attributes your general could get in Rome. Nothing beats having your drunk, embarrassing uncle vomit all over the campaign map in front of your men. I hope so too, I'm especially fond of the nicknames the generals could get. My favorite general through all Total War games an old dude, leading my stacks of doom through the world. I had decided that I wanted him to be remembered as The Great. After all, he had already conquered Egypt and Levant among other victories. He was Victor, when I suddenly noticed that he had gained the nickname Wrathful. Oh poo poo, time to get conquering more. A few turns later he was known as the Conqueror. And a few more turns later he was known as the Mad. Queue some more conquering, this guy was getting really old and I wanted him to be remembered for his greatness. A few turns later he croaked and was forever remembered by the world as the Fat.

Considering that Shogun 2 had a few different unit types that you could equip in different ways, I don't see why they couldn't do that kind of customization in Rome 2. Just replace monks and samurais with different ethnicities.

Could someone explain to me the difference between Hoplite and Macedonian phalanxes?

I'm excited but cautious over the number of different units. I just hope all the units are distinct and have a clear role on the battlefield. I loved Shogun 2's unit roster, because it has a clear rock-paper-scissor combat system, and every unit has a purpose. Likewise I'm not too fond of FotS unit roster because I can't tell the different riflemen apart and have no idea what I'm supposed to do with different units.

There's no mention of it anymore so it was probably wikivandalism.

Is September the 3rd the global release date or American release date? I tried to check the website but I couldn't find confirmation on this.

Yellow Turbans rule, especially after I found out they don't suffer attrition from not having any territory. I started a campaign with He Yi, built up my army and looted all the towns on my way to the sea, jumped on a boat and moved to southern China. After that it's been a very chill campaign of fighting notably less numerous locals in the south, settling abandoned territories and occasional raiding trips north to get that money.

Grand Fromage posted:I finished another campaign as a normal faction and I'm ready to try a bandit or a Yellow Turban. Any tips for them? I've heard they play pretty differently. All the Yellow Turban starting positions are pretty tough, but your troops don't suffer attrition from having no home territory. So at the start you should get a large and cheap army and just raid/pillage and migrate south so you can expand in peace. Their diplomacy options are very limited, so don't expect to have any friends in the campaign, except other yellow turbans (who tend to die pretty early).
