A major overhaul to the main game. It does a lot of things that probably make the game easier in some ways, but legendary harder. The thing I dislike is the combat change, it doesn't reward things that traditionally shocked enemy morale in combat to cause faster breaks which causes more grinding attrition battles. These battles are great for people who just mash units head on in easier difficulties, but they become more frustrating in harder difficulties because things like flanking or morale shock aren't rewarding. The overmap feels overall an improvement. The ability to dodge civil war, the ability to better manage the cities all helps. I don't like that the economy was dumbed down overall, but I suppose since I wasn't ever running out of food or happiness not having to pay attention to the mechanic any more doesn't feel to bad. I think that a lot of people will enjoy this patch. The game all in all still feels fun to me. Rome 2 total war was developed by Creative Assembly. All commentary belongs to me
