Судя по "эксклюзивным" юнитам после кочевников будет Балканский пак.

Сейчас штурмовал Сиракузы - 9 000 моих vs 9600 сиракузских. Лагало, хотя и не страшно. Но до оптимизации еще далеко. На Наполеоне у меня с более слабой видеокартой без лагов сражались 23 000 против 36 000

•AI research is more military focused at the start of the campaign.

•Slightly reduced the settlement defensive bonuses for the auto-resolver.

•Increased the willingness of the AI signing trade agreements and defensive alliance.

•The AI are now much more careful with constructing buildings that consume food or increase squalor. This has improved the AI's ability to fight food shortage problems.

•Added more restrictions on the AI running too often making them exhausted by the time they reach their opponents.

•Improvements to the AI defensive ambush behaviour.

•AI now have improved ability to place its forces appropriately to deal with simultaneous front and side attacks. This involves angling and bifurcation of its *line with appropriate units to deal with the players use of flanking or harassing forces.

•Difficulty can no longer be changed from the in-campaign game settings whist in a Campaign on Legendary difficulty.

•Deployed agents on the campaign map, no longer reset back to being un-deployed when they level up.

•Fix for missile troops sometimes firing in a "perfect" formation, rather than appearing natural and offset.

•Diplomacy improvements - Factions attitudes towards each other are now mapped with colours on the map on the diplomacy screen. When your faction is selected, it shows other factions attitudes to you, and when other faction selected, shows their attitudes to other factions. Also, the factors tooltip now works between two non-player factions by selecting a non-player faction and moussing over another faction.

•In Multiplayer battles, if the last remaining player in an alliance has a network timeout disconnection, the game will now be a draw.

•Fix for units pursuing enemies when reacting to melee (not for direct orders). *Units will no longer pursue enemies when reacting to melee.

•Enemies routing now have double the morale impact.

•The Form Square unit ability now gives a small increase to morale and a bracing bonus in battles.

[sergeim]

WOW !!! 128 МВ патч!!! Наверное действительно много правили!!!

[Valdar]

Вышел 4-бета патч

[Chernish]

Из важных изменений:

поправили логику строительства Аи чтобы он а)не впадал в голод, б)строил военные здания с самого начала и в)набирал лучшие по качеству войска

Аи теперь использует "фалангу" (абилку) в битвах

Исправили баг с "Сумасшествием" (для Рима актуально)

Аи будет меньше носится на карте чтобы не вступать в бой истощенным

Что-то отбалансировали с транспортниками

Снизили эффективность поджигания ворот

Много по дипломатии хороших правок

•Diplomacy improvements - Factions attitudes towards each other are now mapped with colours on the map on the diplomacy screen. When your faction is selected, it shows other factions attitudes to you, and when other faction selected, shows their attitudes to other factions. Also, the factors tooltip now works between two non-player factions by selecting a non-player faction and moussing over another faction.

 

Ура! Наконецто!!

[RusXP]

Потестил. Ничего, ровным счетом, не изменилось. Гоплиты по-прежнему набегают толпой. Когда же наконец из них сделают фалангу?

Также оставили баг с штурмовыми кораблями, которые нельзя нанимать в сухом доке.

 

Жду 5-й патч.

Гоплиты и должны набегать толпой. Только спартанцы умели атаковать шагом, а они у меня номрально атакуют. СА все правильно делают))

Гоплитская фаланга для обороны.

 

Процитирую еще раз знаменитое описание Фукидидом наступающих армий при Мантинее:

«Затем началась схватка. Аргосцы и союзники стремительным натиском атаковали противника. Лакедемоняне, напротив, двигались медленно под звуки воинственной мелодии, исполняемой множеством флейтистов, стоявших в их рядах. Это заведено у них не по религиозному обычаю, а для того что бы в такт музыки маршировать в ногу и что бы не ломался боевой строй (как обычно случается при наступлении больших армий).» (Фук. 5.70)

 

Даже если фаланга начинала битву с различимыми рядами и шеренгами, этот порядок быстро испарялся, как только начиналось наступление. Коллективное пение пиана могло служить цели удержания фаланги вместе(40), но люди, которые не умеют маршировать в ногу не смогут сохранить правильные шеренги. Когда фаланга приближалась к противнику обычно все, кроме спартанцев, переходили на быстрый шаг или бег(41). В этот момент любая видимость строя полностью исчезнет.

A new function has been added to the diplomacy screen, which allows the user to select AI factions, and then mouse over other faction icons on the map to display their relationships.

The chances of the AI betraying their allies has been increased, since it used to help them too often when a betrayal was a more appropriate action.

During a multiplayer coop campaign, the client and host could both make decisions when attacked by the AI. However the user interface did not always display the correct choice. This is now fixed.

Re-jigged pike attacks slightly so that they don't end when the enemy run away, but instead, re-intercept.

Known Issues

 

Changing the game's Texture Quality option during a campaign or a battle may cause the terrain to appear black. This can be avoided by changing this option with the Game Settings in the main menu, and will usually stop happening after starting the next battle or re-loading your campaign. This will be hotfixed in the near future.

The Mod Manager is currently only partially localised, so most compatible with English. We aim to localise this fully in the near future.

 

 

 

Патч 6. Статус: выпущен.

 

Fix for terrain turning black during Campaign and Battles when changing the “Texture Quality” setting. This was listed as a “Known Issue” in the Patch 5, but is now fixed.

French and German campaign audio will no longer play very quietly (e.g. when selecting armies on the Campaign map).

Fix for the game failing to launch in some circumstances when running as a Windows Administrator.

Скорее они прочитали Голдсуорти. Или хотя бы Оспрейки где про это тоже говорится )

 

  Даже глубокая фаланга начинала разваливаться, как только как только она начинала атаку. Люди не смогут бежать и оставаться настолько плотно друг к другу, что бы врезаться в противника как один большой таран(51). Бегущие гоплиты рассеиваются, но большое число людей сзади не дает уклониться менее уверенным. Только спартанцам хватало дисциплины удерживать своих гоплитов от атаки, пока они не сближались с врагом на очень небольшую дистанцию. Медленное размеренное наступление спартанцев было еще более пугающим, потому что большинство их противников просто не могли его скопировать.

...

  Атака бегом афинской армии при Марафоне получила легендарный статус (Hdt. 6.112).  Точная дистанция, пройденная при этой атаке, менее важна, чем намеренное решение наступать бегом(52). Это имело практическое значение – минимизация количества стрел, которые персы успеют выпустить по атакующему – тактика которую позже применяли римляне (Plutarch, Lucullus 28). Это означало, что афинская фаланга потеряла порядок, отдельные гоплиты рассеялись.

...

 

Часто случалось так, что фаланга, или часть фаланги, разваливалась и обращалась в бегство, прежде чем обе стороны входили в контакт. Если этого не случалось, то фаланги встречались. Это не было столкновением масса против массы. После того как гоплиты переходили на бег, фаланги начинали разваливаться. Чем с большего расстояния атаковала армия, тем более разомкнутым становился ее строй. Гоплиты сгруппируются на одних участках, и будут более свободно разбросаны на других. На этом этапе практически или совсем не останется правильных рядов и шеренг, фаланга будет больше похожа на толпу чем на армию.

это оттуда же

Македонская фаланга со своими дрынами так носится просто не могла и вынужденно шла шагом сохраняя порядок. Или чуть ускоряясь. В Р2ТВ она "бежит" со скоростью 65% от нормального бега.

ворота медленнее стали поджигаться, но все равно поджигаются, в принципе разрабам надо бы лучников в гарнизоны добавлять, мало бы не показалось поджигющим.

Что-то римляне никак этрусков вынести не могут с новым патчем.

Зато фракции ИМХО стали более мирными. Однако стоит заиметь 4 врагов - войну начинают объявлять все вокруг. Невзирая на хорошие отношения. Глупо как-то

Упоминать Историю и историков в контексте обсуждения РТВ2, это все равно что сверяться с учебником "Теоретической механики" или животноводства играя в "Плохих свинок".

Мир РТВ2 фентезийный от начала и до конца. В нем своя История, своя логика, своя физика... все свое.

2ZardoZ,

2Shinto

Все верно. Но обратите внимание на то, что в Риме 2 очень достоверно - для игры - воссозданы сами юниты и их сравнительная сила. И многие другие мелкие вопросы (как то доходность разных провинций на момент начала игры и т.д.).

Гоплиты сами по себе неисторичны - во время игры их уже не было. Но вот их поведение в атаке сделано вполне правдоподобно.
