Seasons, Wonders and More Free DLC!

Hey, what's up guys? I am back. I was on break went down to San Diego I'm currently in my spring break, so I took a little time off I hope it didn't bother you it turns out however that a lot of stuff was going on on the total war front CA has announced a lot of great stuff so before I left obviously I reported on the Hannibal at the gates DLC Mentioned that it's looking awesome. They've released some more screenshots of the map and stuff like that I'm sure you guys have seen I'll link that below some more updates that have come out is They added new units to the Carthage roster I'll have a video on that next where I play a multiplayer battle Using those units anyways the biggest update that I want to talk about is the seasons and wonders update So this is basically CA giving us some free LC adding to the game the base game now We did see seasons when it came to Caesar and Gaul that was great It wasn't added to the main campaign some modders were sort of able to implement implement it But never really true seasons all they could do was add an overlay effect Which changed the sort of the hue and saturation of the campaign map? But you never had dynamic weather like snow and the changing of the trees And it wasn't really tied the camp to the battlefield map so now that's gonna be for free It's gonna be implemented, so we're gonna be seeing that Which I think is great It'll make those four turn per year mods that people have been doing just that much more immersive because you can there drag out the Seasons it'll be great the way it works now is essentially each season you'll psych it cycle through it every year Onto the wonders they're gonna have a new update for wonders so a lot of them You know we're already on the map But they weren't all readily accessible and not all of them were actually made in game so the additions here are going to be the pharaohs of Alexandria the lighthouse the famous lighthouse the Colossus of Rhodes can be visited the Colossus of Rhodes is actually pretty cool It's made from the melted remnants of siege engines So Rhodes was put under siege by I believe a Greek commander And he came in it was a really famous siege the commander there tried to besiege it He failed and in celebration for the victory the Rhodians took all the remaining siege engines that he left behind melted them down and created this celebratory Colossus that's the story behind it. It was later destroyed in an earthquake You'll also see the mausoleum of panic helicarnassus the statue of Zeus at Olympia BAM Citadel the Oracle of Elwynn Ray So a bunch of these things are very cool And you can find them on the campaign map and they're more properly Indicated so you don't have to go around digging for them as much as before See I also announced that there's touchscreen support for Rome 2 on Various devices. I think that's cool more tweaks here and there for modding and whatnot one of the changes to modding as well that they implemented is now when you launch the game instead of just being able to play your mods the the What do I call it not the taskbar? But basically Rome 2 is gonna check if those mods are updated if they're not Compatible with the current version of Rome 2 it won't let you play them so that's CA trying to make sure that people have legitimate complaints with the patches because what happens right now is a lot of these mods are incompatible with Patches because they haven't been updated properly and so CA gets a lot of false flags in terms of performance So by doing this CA is gonna be able to notify you that you know, hey your mod is gonna cause issues Now you can't play the mods. Even if they're outdated you have to just click through some settings or do that But by default, they'll be separated. So I think that's a cool cleaner way to do this and They've also added The ability to stream via twitch TV support. So that's cool. Lots of new things for free that CA is adding so all in all I think this is very cool. And Yeah, I think it's very exciting to see this So hopefully we'll be you know Seeing more and more of this free content coming in adding more to the main campaign and especially hopefully they'll implement new politics System and stuff that they discover in these new DLC things like Caesar and Gaul and Handle what the gates hopefully things that work and new things that they change those will be implemented So for instance, I heard that they may be changing some stuff in terms of capture points various other small tweaks So that's that's all for the best of Rome to anyways, that's gonna be it for this quick update video I'll see you guys next time. Hope you enjoy and Stay tuned for that video on the Carthaginian changes to the roster. Also, they've changed some of the tweaks to how Skirmisher units work. So that'll be all coming soon. Anyways, see you guys next time. Peace out
