Waging war in winter will reduce your troops morale, army replenishment rate, as well as the amount of distance that they can cover to put your enemies to the sword. Charging into a line of phalanx troops? Make sure you have your floppy hat equipped! The additional turns have flow on effects on all things military and financial. As well as the revised world map, the game also progresses a lot slower, with four turns for every season instead of the single turn. With the cut-down world map, the areas of land that were previously uninhabited now have new outlying towns, provincial capitals and of course a whole new set of factions to kick down wells. Wrath of Sparta now focuses on the area around the greek islands and skirts the Persian empire, because what good is a game about the Spartans without the Persian empire being right dicks about things. No longer will you have the entire world to bring to heel, as in the vanilla Rome 2 campaign. The first thing you will notice about the Wrath of Sparta campaign is the revised world map. Following on from the previous “Imperator Augustus” campaign which focused on the Roman Empire, “Wrath of Sparta” gives the much loved warrior nation a chance to kick some foreign dignitaries down a pit.

The latest refinement brings us to the latest addition to the series of Grand Campaigns DLC’s, this time focused on the might of the Spartan Empire around the time of the Peloponnesian War, or for those of you whose ancient Greek history is a bit rough, the time when the Spartans gave the middle finger to the Athenians. Funny what an additional year of refinement can do… As such the Rome 2 we have in 2015 is quite the fantastic little nugget of RTS. However since its launch in September 2013, the team at Creative Assembly has pulled out all the stops to make everything that was wrong, right. Plagued by horrid load times, terrible battle AI and many other issues, it was a pretty lacklustre addition to the series. historical accuracy (and the inclusion of women) originates.There is no denying that Total War: Rome 2 (which we will now refer to as Rome 2) had a pretty rough start in its life as a Total War game. In a follow-up comment, McConnell wrote: "I'm not HR, nor is it my job to push a 'personal agenda' - I convey the views of the company, which is where the statement regarding historical authenticity vs. Unsurprisingly, the comment didn't go down well with a lot of players. People saying they won't buy the game because there are too many women in it is fine with us - if that's their reason, we'd rather they didn't anyway."

On Steam's Community forums, community content editor Ella McConnell responded to the situation back in August by explaining that "Total War games are historically authentic, not historically accurate - if having female units upsets you that much you can either mod them out or just not play.

It led to the same arguments over historical accuracy that followed EA's decision to put a woman on the front cover of Battlefield 5.

Most of the newer complaints are directed toward the recent Ancestral update, which players claim increased the chances of women generals appearing in the game, even though there is no mention of this in the patch notes.Ī screenshot (top) from a Steam user showing five out of eight "Available Generals" as women brought the debate into the spotlight. With over 21,000 Steam reviews since its September 2013 launch, Total War: Rome 2 has a 'mostly positive' rating on the platform, but only 19 percent of the 1000+ reviews over the last 90 days have been positive, leaving its recent rating as 'overwhelmingly negative.'
#TOTAL WAR ROME 2 REVIEWS UPDATE#
Why? It seems that people are angry over an update that supposedly increased the frequency with which women generals appear in the game, but it appears that nothing actually changed. This time, the title in question is the five-year-old Total War: Rome 2. A hot potato: Another game is being review bombed-a term used when a large number of people post negative comments and scores to its Steam page over a short period.
