So I asked because I was trying to mod the birth rate and marriage proposal rates since I found remnants of their attributes in the campaign_variables table. Turns out these variables were left over from perhaps Shogun 2 which actually used them, because even when jacked up to 100% likelihood of marriage/child birth, nothing happens in-game.
This.
ETW was the first TW title that really rattled my confidence in CA. I tried to push through the crashing and the awkwardness of it all, but threw in my cards. I heard Napoleon was actually pretty good, but it was too close to ETW, so I skipped it entirely. I even tried ETW after playing Shogun 2 for hundreds of hours, and still couldn't get into it. RTW wasn't nearly as bad as ETW at launch, or nearly as awkward in its current patchy state.
Exactly. Empire wasn't even playable for most users at release. It was an abomination. After 3 months of constant patching it was decent though.
This game (Rome 2) is already good-to-go with Patch 4. They fixed most of the crashing/performance issues. Campaign turn time was vastly improved. AI is noticeably smarter as of patch 4 now.
There are still a lot of small issues, but it's very playable and easy to enjoy as of patch 4 now.
