The thing is, the players who play MP are not crossing over to this remaster because they have concerns about the visibility of unit models and statuses. Despite the fact that the most recent CoN tournament for Rome: Total War was subjected to sabotage by an unknown person, that tournament had 43 players. Which, im sure anyone would agree is pretty impressive for a game as old as Rome. How is it that this “brand new” remaster cant muster 20 players, half of whom dont even come from the original rome community? This is because there are aspects of the game that make it very unique from a micromanagement standpoint. Until there is a mod that addresses the lack of visible models/model actions from afar, and adds more options to customize the camera and UI, I doubt that there will be much of a “scene” for this games multiplayer.
Here are my primary gripes:
-There needs to be a multiplayer graphics mode with much brighter/more uniform textures.
-The grass is a different color. Why does the grass need to be different. The grass was functioning well. Now units fade into it much more.
-The tooltips used to be transparent and pop up instantly. Now they are clunky and you must linger to see them, this basically makes them worthless for high paced games.
-Why get rid of the double-click camera jump? I liked it. Double clicking the grass doesnt do anything useful now, but it does on vanilla.
-They got rid of the lobby. I guess we were all grown up enough to talk publicly for 17 years but now we need to be protected from ourselves. The lobby was ESSENTIAL for retaining new players who might have been intimidated by the complex game. Overall all the chats are less visible. There is no
Fucking reason you should have to toggle to see the chat. Just put it on the bottom like the old fucking game.
Remastered does many things right, but until it addresses all of these points I dong see it ever getting off the ground.
I honestly want this tournament and remastered to succeed as much as I want anything. This is just the state of things.
