I decided to play another game of Thrones over the weekend. It's definitely better. But you said that you were attacked for no reason and the same thing happened to me. Except when that faction declared war on me, I had two Governors declare civil war within 2 turns. I had my two Armies north and the invading country brought 2 and a half stacks into my country and destroyed me food and economy. Then the Usurpers destroyed the other portion to where I was -400 food and thousands in debt. My Armies starved and eventually after winning about 4 siege defenses where I was outnumbered 2-1 they drove my Kings army of maybe 300 guys, to one small province. I was then attacked by 2 stacks and killed. I've never lost a total war game before.

Can you tell CA that the loyalty idea completely ruins this game? I'll play it on normal and still have to spend all my points on upgrading loyalty. By the time the character is upgraded with anything else hes dead or way too old to be a long term general. Also if I'm not taxing them then that means they can still work and earn money and work on the farms for food.

@@killershootin6934 Something you're doing wrong then. I've maybe spent two points total on loyalty, across 2 dozen or more nobles, thru their skill points. Sure I've used the gain loyalty button from my king 100 times, but between that AND estates, you shouldn't have to use all your skill points on loyalty. Loyalty is a huge part of this game, and has been a staple mechanic for a lonnnnnnnng time.

Nice video I will defenitely try it again Three things that really bug me in this game and one was mentioned are: 1. Governors should get a loyalty boost. 2. UI should have unique artwork per culture!!! This is a no brainer. Mouse pointer included. The blue backround just doesnt fit. Music is awesome now its time to match it with visuals. 3. Shieldwall if it doesnt already should give a melee defense bonus as well. Im not sure if it does. Also a sidenote on the shieldwall; Why isnt the 2nd rank offset so shields stop clipping into heads It disgusts me that they havnt improved the animation from rome 2 triarii.

I'm glad they are still revamping the game after so much time. To those fans who stuck around waiting for updates. I just hope going forward we see better games. 3k is looking great from what they shown us. Updating the formula and giving us new mechanics and more depth. I kinda feel bad that they never got Rome 2 right even after everything though, which is a shame.

I like Jack Lusted so much, his mod for Medieval 2 was so great he was hired by CA. Unfortunately I feel like the company doesn't let him incorporate all the mechanics he want. In Empire for example (the first game he worked on) he planned a War of Succession feature that never was implemented because Sega wanted to release the game ASAP

I can't wait to get the update (I'm on Mac so I'll have to wait a little extra time). It looks good Honestly I really enjoy the game with the Crucible of Kings mod, event though my favorite TW is still Medieval II Most of the people complaining about the game never played it or only a few hours. Vanilla is not that great I admit (until the update at least) but with mods it becomes very good for players that like realism and difficulty

I got a mod that added garrisons(for the player AND AI) and that made all the difference. Loyalty is a total garbage mechanic in this game, so I also have a mod that makes it irrelevant(so that the lowest possible loyalty anyone can have is 9). This update will get me to play another campaign or two though.

Getting close to the promised land of merging Paradox and Total War games! On a more serious note, I think this is a positive development and looking more like a practice run for Medieval III instead of a cash grab off Atilla infrastructure. Looks like I'll finally pick this game up at this point, well on sale.
