I can't believe I fell for it just because I love that era.
The worst thing is every single new Total War is just like Rome 2 and people STILL fall for this.

I am of Briton-Roman descent, so for me it fits to play as Iceni. I just wanted to make my own "Blue Rome", and I couldn't because this game sucks.
It's not a sandbox, despite they sold it as that, it's a concrete block.

I heard that even if Empire still broken af, it's still better than any post-Shogun 2 TW and that mods actually fix it.
Idk if this is true, but for the campaigns I have watched, it looks more fun to play than R2.

Almost everyone in Britain has some of every pre-20th century migration culture in their blood. Hell, lowland scots have more anglo-saxon in them than the English.
That said if its a blue British Rome you want, RTWR makes the Britano-Romans a proper faction with real faction goals.

You've heard wrong.
Empire's unit collision is unfixable. Various persisting bugs are also unfixable.
What mods do is making various awful elements less annoying, but it doesn't fix the issues the game has - just sugarcoats them.

I have all sorts of complaints and things I would want added into Total War games, but I still play them, about the best you gonna get if you want battle spectacle. And Rome 2 (maybe with mods) is about the best you gonna get for visual candy.
>mod is deleted
That's why you back up mods (and game install files) on an external HDD.

Well, you could roleplay that your Chosen Sword Band are now the backbone of your armies as imitation Legiones. But yeah, the game pins you as a defined culture with little changes as you play (the only one iirc is government type)
