How far will you go for Rome?
The award-winning Total War series returns to Rome, setting a brand new
quality benchmark for Strategy gaming. Become the world's first superpower
and command the Ancient world's most incredible war machine. Dominate your
enemies by military, economic and political means. Your ascension will bring
both admiration and jealousy, even from your closest allies.
Will you suffer betrayal or will you be the first to turn on old friends?
Will you fight to save the Republic, or plot to rule alone as Emperor?
Key Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Plan your conquest of the known world in a massive sandbox turn-based
campaign mode (supporting additional 2-player cooperative & competitive
modes). Conspiracies, politics, intrigue, revolts, loyalty, honour,
ambition, betrayal. Your decisions will write your own story.
* Build vast armies and take to the battlefield in real-time combat mode.
Put your tactical skills to the test as you directly control tens of
thousands of men clashing in epic land and sea battles.
* Play for the glory of Rome as one of three families or take command of a
huge variety of rival civilisations - each offers a notably different form
of gameplay experience with hundreds of unique units from siege engines
and heavy cavalry to steel-plated legionaries and barbarian berserkers.
* See exotic ancient cities and colossal armies rendered in incredible
detail, as jaw-dropping battles unfold. Detailed camera perspectives allow
you to see your men shout in victory or scream in pain on the frontline,
while a new tactical cam allows a god's eye view of the carnage to better
inform your strategic decisions.
* Extremely scalable experience, with gameplay and graphics performance
optimised to match low and high-end hardware alike.
Included
~~~~~~~~
Total War: Rome II - Greek States Culture Pack
1. Unrar
2. Use the patcher to patch the install dir of Total.War.ROME.II-RELOADED
with crack added. Copy the patch over first to save some time.
You will need ~10gb free space to do this, which you can reclaim by
deleting the Backup dir.
3. Play the game.
4. If you like this game, BUY IT!
Yeah I looked over the mods on TWCenter earlier today, I'm waiting a bit though until better tools come along so things can really pick up.
(Or at least from what I've read modding is pretty limited thus far.)

What's there to wait for? I mean, let's be honest, the game can't get worse than it already is
Does that reloaded update include the patch or just the greek states?
both it seems.
The info states "You will need ~10gb free space to do this, which you can reclaim by deleting the Backup dir"
1. I never install games on C:, so where is this temp dir taking up 10 gig? It's certainly not in the install dir.
2. If it does indeed take 10 gig does it d/l this extra data? It took about 2 mins to install the patch, no popup from my firewall asking for access to d/l the patch data.
I went back to Shogun 2 and I'm having infinitely more fun. The performance is better, battles feel better, you can actually use some tactics, etc. I'm terribly bored of the setting but Rome 2 right now is not fun for me
The minimum req for this are Intel CPUs, a 2.6GHz single core or a 2.0GHz dual core.
I have a Core 2 Duo E6750 (2.66GHz) and the campaign map is 8-12fps or 4fps if forced to one core. Does CA really consider 5-12fps playable? What. The. Fuck. The GPU is sleeping, it's a 560. Battle performance is better, but still in global the game performs worse than the beta preview version of Shogun 2 I had to play.
I don't and won't expect it to fly, but their claims are bullshit.

Sorry just a tad confused..
Im not sure where these temporary files are located, probably your default temp folder but dont quote me on that.
It doesnt download any extra files, the patch is 21.8mb, what it does is patch files that are very much larger. most studios have a propietary method but most use a 'diff' algorithm that they run on the gamedata
Once they have the list of identical byte sequences, they just need to send the old and new offsets, the length, and of course anything that's completely new. On the receiving side, it's then a straightforward assembly of sorts. it copy the bits its need to keep from the old file, and fills in the new bits.
so if they have to patch a few of those .pack files 10gb is easily reached. Again this is not anything the patcher downloads, and the space will be returned to you after the patcher is done(or upon the next reboot)
Maybe it's the patch, but I just played as those british folks and so far the game looks and plays pretty well. Turns only take about 10 to 15s to complete. Battles can take an upward of 30 to 45s to load though. No graphical glitches, pretty much have everything set to ultra. Here are my specs:

The further you get in the campaign turn wise, the longer the turns take to complete. By about Turn 40 you've got enough time to go out, have a sandwich, and repaint your house if you're feeling up to it. When you get done and back, the turn timer will just about be finishing up. Enjoy!
I can never be free, because the shackles I wear can't be touched or be seen.

In my Rome campaign Carthage and Macedonia were destroyed before i even got to it and basically the whole map is small, almost 1 city factions fighting each other. Most of my fighting is coming from rebels since i have too much squalor
But yeah i'm seriously missing a proper superpower to fight with.
That campaign map may be even bigger game problem than performance. One that can't be fixed by patches. It is way too big and there are just too many small factions on it.
They planned an epic campaign where you start by fighting neighbouring powers and later encounter bigger and better adversaries. But it went completely wrong. For first, neighbours are always technologically behind you, so they pose no threat and conquering them is a tedious process thanks to them using dull units and another big problem, very slow campaign movement. Second, when you do grow enough to engulf neighbours, you are big enough to crush any bigger power. If they exist anyway.
