Discuss , imo its just stupid and the option should just not be available , or at least it should only be doable via putting an mg squad in the bunker , cause right now be it a team game or 1v1 , all the ostheer has to do is win an engagement near the contested vp or fuel and then bunker it which is nowhere near as difficult as it was in vcoh , its bad enough when there is a recruitment station but it becomes so frustrating when you have to dispatch considerable forces of yours to destroy the crapy thing with the mg and sometimes not succeding cause it takes a bloody century to do so and your enemy will come in force to rescue it , bombarding it takes too long as well , of course there is a unit that counters it , penals , which are fucking useless atm and dont have any other usage + it forces you to backtech to t1 or go t1 guards

To add insult to injury in maps with lots of deep snow , like , the insulting to vcoh semois , semoskiy the thing is so frustrating and tiring to play against with all that building (with invinvible cover , another topic of discussion ) campfest that i personally have it permanently deselected and when by chance it somehow gets in the list i immediately forfeit .

Jesus Christ relic , there are simple things you can do to improve the gameplay and balance of the game , we ve been shouting about penals since july and nothing , either reduce their damn price or make them available with a flamethrower without the need to upgrade and slightly increase their durablility ( by 5% or sth ).

I have the solution stop eating each other like a flock of angry chicken

Give conscripts an upgrade for 2 svts or an lmg at t1/2 with a relatively small cost ( like the cost of molotovs and working in the same fashion as the ppsh) and have it make them on par with vanilla grens . That serves everyone , early on the grens keep their advantage and in the transitional phase of the game if you choose to pick the upgrade you force your opponent to spend munitions to keep the status quo .

Also its not like the grens dont have their own fair share of abilities faust and riflenades counterbalance molotovs and at grenades and they are a lot cheaper , and oorah and merge are situational , while the lmg is always useful

Well bugs are expected in all games on day one , even more so in modern games , whats not expected is complete absence of playtesting before day 1 , a prime example of which is the AI (ffs even your own client states sometimes refuse trade with you and when it seems like your consolidating your position the rest of the world makes peace and attack you MVGame not to speak of the AI taking its army away from the city when your stack is litteraly next to it ).

Furthermore , its the strategical element of the game which has been dumbed down as well because of "streamlining the game" and some dumb decisions like i have been playing the campaign of carthage and in the botom half of spain and the whole western african coast there isnt one province that produces olive oil and there are only 2 resources in the whole spanish peninsular .

Ah the worst of it is that they have spend an enormous amount of on money on PR instead of making a trully good game . Its not a bad game and personally i think its enjoyable but i have played total war mods that are a lot better than Rome 2 and that says a lot .

Lets hope the modders save the total war series once more and that Sega fires some of CAs game designers and hire them instead

A prophetic facepalm on Trajans column

This guy badcomedian has really verified his adopted nickname , a very bad example of satyre and an inacurate one at that as well .

I could write abou the wrong points and interpretations he makes like the 1 point about stalingrad being bombed to stoneage which ofcourse is TRUE but i guess its prety straight forward to understand this when every single building in stalingrad looks to be heavily damaged or about how wrong he is when saying that the red army didn sit down and wait which was exactly the case when they communised the balkans and when they sat idly watching the police revolution being bruttaly supressed (ravaging villages as in looting and rape was common practice in the eastern front esp in poland and albeit being supressed to some extent one can easily deduce that the leadership of the RA turned a blind eye to it ). But on the most part i just wont bother since its quite clear to me that most people have made their decision and want bother to change it .

The only point i agree with him is about the campaign showing just the soviets commiting attrocities which is just unfair If you want to portray the violence of the eastern front you should do it for all participants . In the first game relic concentrated on both alies and germans being soldiers not war criminals hence we didnt see anything about bombing the cities of germany or concentration camps .

Finally , i have been saying for some time that this is a game and should not be treated as a history source material in the same way that House MD is not treated as a documentary on medical practice so why is it that everyone is so hell bent on treating it as one . FFS RELIC just put in a disclaimer saying this game is a product of fiction which bases itself on real events but is not truthful in its depiction and its purpose is purely one of entertainment ( although that much should have been made clear by the companys title which specificaly says relic entertainment NOT education ) , saying that the game is as historically accurate as possible and basing your sources on one book is also a no go .

PS

there have been some extremely racist comments in this thread and an other one as well i think a few bans would be well deserved .

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_atrocities#World_War_II
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_war_crimes#Rapes

To the point though i think the main reason for their protests is the absence of german atrocities and so in a way depicting of soviets as the vilains .

IMO warcrimes are vilainous deeds and no matter who commits them should be punished ( not that there is much hope for that happening any time soon )

Agreed with both Stephenn and hubewa , what would be wrong is that ivan didnt get the chance to defend himself ( dont know though if he was given one ) .

In case you guys didn't know.. Talking shit to other players in-game is not allowed by Relic. People used to get warnings and suspensions for the same things in vCoH. Hans had every right to report him. Relic decided that he was right, and gave VonIvan a suspension. Ivan had it coming..

Cmon generallh since when did MVGame and noob calling become a "capital offence" deserving ban , last thing we want in the community is some e-vigilante provoking the trolls resulting in more trolling . And TBH harrasive and abusive behaviour is one that can't be avoided , as i have stated you can always not give a fuck and go on about your life . I cant beleive i am defending cohexperts but they havnt wronged me or the majority of the community / playerbase so a bann seems an overkill to me .

FFS with all this ban talk , can someone explain to me what is abussive behaviour and how is it determined for all i know its all subjective to ones judgement therefore a really unreliable criterion to decide long term punishment .

And if someone is accusing another player as a cheater without good cause other than previous personal dislike ( well desrved or not ) then what is that if not abbusive behaviour .
