Creative Assembly just hired 2 more Community Managers to handle Rome 2

Relic lays off their only CM

hmmmmm....

Off Topic: Relic hired a CM to work in studio, like CA and most studios. THQ laid off all CMs and moved them to the publishing department away from the dev team because they viewed them as marketing staff and not as developers.

CoH did okay because Bobby was awesome. Some of the other games suffered because their fanbases no longer had a connection to the people making the game, just the people trying to sell it. Ask anyone who was a member of the THQ UFC community how that went down.

It would be nice to scale up like CA and it's something we're definitely looking at doing in the future. But the idea of having Community Mangers based outside of the studio was one of the many stupid things that THQ did. Their plan was the have a handful of CMs working on multiple games, which is why on Space Marine our Community Manager left before launch to focus on Darksiders II leaving us in the lurch.

Having Community Mangers embedded with the development team is the way to go because it gives you guys a direct line to the development team, rather than an indirect line through marketing.

On Topic: Rome II definitely is awesome. I'd totally recommend picking it up, and hey the more money that SEGA has the more money we get to play with on our future projects. The entire CA team seems fantastic and we're glad to have joined them at SEGA.

Thanks. I think that's the summary I needed.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll pass it on to the balance team.

In the future though I'd advice against presenting it in this way. While I appreciate the novel presentation anything that makes feedback harder to read tends to mean that it'll be more likely to be overlooked.

Point forum arguments with maybe a few sentences of explanation are easier for us to digest given the volume of feedback we get.

Second I'd suggest not starting anything you want read by us by calling us fascists. I assume you were joking, but given the amount of multi-paragraphed rants we get that start off by calling us fascists and then move on to calling for our execution/deaths we're very very very unlikely to read it.

Had Inverse's comment not followed suggesting there was more to it than it started off with I would have just stopped reading and never returned to the thread.

This is fantastic. Great work.

Isn't it self-explanatory?

No it's not Elo+ it's simply a record of Wins that you have with each faction and in each game mode.
