so then, whos looking forward to rome 3?
if you think this is interesting and want to know more about it, heres the full video covering this experiment on my second channel:

and heres a video i made after that, showing how rome 2s collision and physics is just completely embarrassing:

@Volound we already have rome 3, its called Rise Son of Rome.
I just want a good TW style game that stomps on CA and makes them go back to basics or kill them for good. The monopoly on the TW formula made them lazy, only proper competition makes products improve
Waiting for Shogun and Victoria 3 🗿
But your still playing Rome 2 ;)
i want rome 3
Rome 2 technically has collision but they call it soft collision after an update. It looks like scripts telling the entities to behave as bumper cars to me.
i described it as pinballing. bumper cars has something to it too.
it also lags the game to utter shit if you're trying to storm a gate
Watch rome 2 at launch. Charges resulted in units squashing into a line before bouncing back out. The patches that fixed it caused models behind the front line to stop dead when the impact happened. This in the video is after loads of work to try to make it look vaguely acceptable.
A think this is way Rome 2 phalanx is just not working
While Rome 1 phalanx is actually a phalanx
@@elpsykoongro5379 And it's deadly AF
Never noticed or remember that happened in Rome 1! Makes me love the base game even more!
But you didnt even notice.
@@bopo900 redpilled
Its why cavalry charges feel so much more satisfying. Because you can see a serious impact with the cavalry front deforming on impact, compared to rome 2 which is more like a gust of wind hitting a pile of rose petals.
You can actually crumble your own formation (at no losses) if you charge a cavalry unit through it
In ETW you could even suffer losses if you route a cav charge through your own units
Yes! This is what I was talking about! Not only makes it easier to move troops between formations, it also penalizes you. They move when there are no enemies, but if trying to be greedy and pull your skirmishers the last second they get overrun, surprise! your melee troops aren't going to break formation to let you pass. This coupled with actual collisions meant that skirmishers were stuck between their fellow soldiers and the enemy. This is what I call good features that help you but don't reduce the difficulty.
except you CAN'T CONTROL GODDAMN SKIRMISHERS THEY ALWAYS WAIT LIKE 30 SECONDS BEFORE RUNNING WHERE YOU TOLD EM
@@sakesaurus you gotta time it right. If they are in the animation to throw again it takes a sec. But if you give the move order after they have finished a volley they seem to listen.
I could be wrong but i swear it worked for me
@@sakesaurus Spamming move orders for a second or two tends to get them to respond more quickly. Turning off skirmish behavior when you want them to move without their AI overriding the command is also very important. It's not foolproof, but it generally will get them to respond quicker.
You also have to take into account the moment it takes for the unit to turn in the direction you want them to run. Changing formation to keep the shape they're in when moving at a 90 degree angle of where they're facing will decrease the time it takes for them to move by up to 5 seconds, depending on how you like to have formations. It's also a sneaky way to keep models alive in a unit by forcefully moving the damaged ones to the back of the formation with some micro.
Late comment but regarding the skirmishers not responding immediately to a move command, what I do in medieval 2 (works also in rome 1 I believe) is quickly double tap the formation button (tap to put them in loose/close formation, tap again to revert them to their initial formation). This seems to "reset" the unit and make them stop whatever they are doing even in the middle of loosing a volley. You can then command them whatever and they would respond immediately. Works also with archers and all units generally. I also keep skirmish mode off so that it would not override my commands.
Imagine infantry just staring while the skirmishes are being massacred
I've yet to see a single unit from the old TW titles phase through one another. Even on bridge battles.
On siege battles where units get stuck in corners, there can be scenarios where 10+ men squeeze into a single spot.
the men would die and fly up into the air before they would ever even think about forming pocket black holes by phase-merging with their comrades.

@@Volound Doing That In Napoleon To Get A Frickin Machine Gun Is Fun Tho
@@empireofitalypsstimfromano5025 That happened to me so many damn times in star fort battles. It's funny at first but after a while, it's very annoying. But the funniest thing that happened to me is my grenadiers were running up a ramp in my starfort and just collided with a little error in the starfort structure and just mass amounts of men started dying and falling all the way back down, caused the unit to route and would have cost me the battle if it was not for my general. It was hilarious and angering at the same time, wish I recorded it to show Volound honestly. I hope others had errors like that too because if it only happened to me it would make me look like a liar.
Its the little things like this that is why I still play og Rome Total war. The battle physics and the way the troops respond to each other feels so much more real. The people who didn't grow up on the original TW games don't know what they are missing.

lol thinking they can even suck good at this point.... how cute
It's even worse when you look how formations fight each other, or how charges look. In Rome 1 you could feel the momentum as your soldiers push into the enemy line, the force of their mass, as well as the enemy's resistance. In Rome 2 they just run up to them and start duels of mocap animated sync kills
Ah yes, the momentum as your cavalry PRE-STIRRUP invention charging head on into blocks of infantry and then infantry just flying into the air.
I've seen lines of units compres into each other to about a 2 line thick size
this started with Empire, Medieval 2 was the peak of combat, still had unit collision and used unit v unit animations sparsely, the following games overdid it

"You could also look at any place on the campaign map and it would have a literal battlemap created for it"
Wasn't this a feature in later Total War games too? I remember how Shogun 2 would have cities in the distance if you fought next to one in the campaign map. I also recall trying to select the approximate location of Thermopylae in Rome 2 as my battle map in custom battles and the geography in the distance would match the campaign map. Or am I missing something and this was implemented differently in Rome 1 and Med 2?
Can we just appreciate the *URBAN COHORT* at the beginning?
You put the Asterix on the outside of the quotes and it'll work.
You mean cyborgs, the urban cohorts were op as shit.
It just blows my mind that they did it better 17 years ago. Lazines of these guys is just enormous ...
Eh, not laziness - just different priorities. Their main draw for Rome II was the better Graphics and the Campaign mechanics, while in the older games it was the Battle mechanics. Old Rome's campaign map doesn't compare with Rome II and the newer generation at all, but its battles was where the main draw and selling point was, and it shows.
Only in Shogun 2 did they manage to tick both boxes - Battle and Campaign, though I never played it.
@@aaryeekd.mishra3487 I disagree, it's just shortcuts to save money / laziness. Also Shogun 2, while being really good in battles. The campaign isn't really that interesting, compared to the older. I think medieval 2 total war has the best campaign out of any total war games.
@@aaryeekd.mishra3487 Well, the campaign mechanics in Rome 2 are horrible. The actual point is that Rome is a game made with Love and with a powerful Soul while Rome2 is souless shell full to the brim with illogical elements and inferior gameplay. Who in their right minds would remove the natural ability of the player to move single units on the campaign map. I could continue on and on this horrible horrible game, it is just so bad that words don't make it justice(or judgment).
the recycled animations for warhammer 3 are laziness. the decision to actually remove all of the work that was done in empire and beyond to have warhammer guns not even resemble guns took effort. the goal is a bad game. if it takes work, theyll do the work. whatever sells the most to the lowest common denominator.

Just amazing how CA seems to backwards in terms of features and physics each year.
To me its fascinating how they didnt even try to sell this, its just part of the game that like many others adds immersion. In new total war if it doesnt have its own button or whatever theyre not gonna make it
however they make more money than ever, my level of respect for gamers these days is -2/10, the blame isnt CA it is the gamers who spend the money

@@knuckle1493 more reason not to buy their products, the CCP is pure evil
We will see, I hope they release Medieval 3 and have cool features like this.
In Rome 1 the AI would also try to retreat when it noticed that a battle wasn't going in its favor. Old CA was a much more competent company than they are now. 😐
In Napoleon and Shogun 2 this is also the case (unless they're prohibited from retreating)
Idk what you're on abt all of them have this feature they just don't always retreat right away
And they go from soldiers engaging each other to 3 people duelling and 397 soldiers watching and waiting their turn
RTW1 was so satisfying to watch
Yeah, literally all they needed to do for the remake is to put in modern graphics, fix the bugs and path finding and that's it
@@RunicRhino22 rtw pathfinding is incredibly jank, u don't just fix it
All I remember is medieval 2 completely annihilated the collission and pathfinding and it drove me crazy.
I swear when gaming companies get success, the money people come in and ruin everything. Suits are the death of good games. The money incentive does not create innovation that leads to better quality but simply more ways to squeeze their customers.
And the money incentive is the idea behind IP law. A totally wrong idea, because real talent doesn't rely on money.
It's the small things that I loved about Tw rome and Medieval 2. I wished the newer games had this level of detail...
Yeah so many little things about Rome 1 was fantastic. More experienced the unit the more disciplined and orderly the formation would be on the battlefield when deploying. It's showed alot better with the barbarian factions units will not charge without orders as often if more experienced. Really missed those feature's in future TW.
If i remember there is another cool feature. RTW1 has a simple body shot marker for range shots. That is, if the projectile hits a shield, it will block it unless is heavy projectiles (such as siege ones). If hits the body, it causes damage mitigated by the armor value, and usually headshots are fatal unless they have an helmet (if so it calculates with armor values).
RTW2 all projectile blocking rolls a chance. Having a shield only reduce the chance to harm by about 20-25%.
One of the reasons I am looking for a competitor to CA
One of the things i dislike about CA is they seem to be not willing to further expand the scale of the armies. When you played Rome 1 you probably imagined in 20 years, total war games would have at least 10,000 troop armies. But we're stuck with 2000-3000 troops and all they do is improve graphics instead a little.
@@lastword8783 lack of large numbers of soldiers doesn’t bother me as much. I want more connection between the strategic side and the tactical side and more campaign mechanics like how Attila does it and Rome 1s direct connection with the tactical map being a very zoomed in version of the strategic map so no more random handful of maps. as well as proper good naval battles like empire and better diplomacy
I still remember the fabulous "CHARGEEEE!" your Roman commander yelled when you use his unit to charge. Even the voice acting was well-executed.
I love it so much how the Urban Cohort makes way for the passing troops.
Nu-TW: It's like watching molecules bounce around when heated!
Rome 2’s AI immediately sending all of their troops to a single front and making it unfun
Your clearly playing on a low difficulty then, the ai in rome 2 is one of the best ive played with in any total war game.
Could just be nostalgia but Rome 1 will always be the best Total War game in certain contexts. It was a truly unique game and was super immersive for its time. The generals getting nicknames, population system, family tree, battles. Everything was perfect.
The afternoons I spent playing Europa Barbarorum oh god 😭🖤
Nah it’s outdated
@@HistoricalWeapons it isn’t though i have played rtw for years and i never shall leave because of how well crafted it is. It is not a money making machine like most other games it costs a simple $10 or so and then you can do whatever you want. And by whatever i mean whatever. Theres no ads no buy this to get this you get everything they had to offer with unique battle aspects truly amazing population and kindgom running aspects compared to now with these greedy corporations making you pay absurd amounts of money just to play A GAME.
Early TW games were made by guys who grew up with a passion for computers and who partially taught themselves how to do it. They lived and breathed what they did. Modern industry programmers are just people who went to a university and applied for a job. They are doing it because it interests them but also because it’s how they want to make money. There is actually a big difference.
My biggest question with R2TW will always be in its relations to S2TW. How did things just go down hill so badly. S2 plays pretty tightly - gunpowder in relation to dodgey ground aside.
It didn't people are still clouded by the release which was indefensibly bad but if you look at it objectively rome 2 is really fun and engaging worst part of base game is the length of campaign but gameplaywise its great now and when u get used to basegame u hop on dei and then u realise u have 1.5k hours

I remember being in middle school not knowing a game like this even existed bought it by sheer luck and because the cover looked cool, it was during summer vacation i probably slept about 3 hours that first week playing this game non stop wish I had a pc to play these kind of games again

The OG Total War games will always the best, no idea what happened to Creative Assembly...
I tactic I used, as a kid, in Rome. Was force my army to mass runn on walls and bridges. With heavies you just pushes people of the wall. Was funny as hell.
Man I miss this
This is why medieval 2 is great. I remember it must’ve been a decade ago. Being besieged by a small Spanish force with a full stack reinforcing army. All I had were two units of French noble knights. When the reinforcements came in I charged out my knights and laid a devastating charge on the reinforcing army in the corner of the map. I was able to hit them all at once killing hundreds on the charge. The reinforcing army broke and routed then I turned round and mopped up the small besieging force easily. For some reason I haven’t forgotten it in all these years. Nicely done Apollo thx for great content and positive attitude.
Oh those M2TW moments. Winning heroic battles against all odds. It can't be remade
The attention to detail of the older TW titles was insane for their times. I haven’t been a major fan of anything post Rome 2 (and Rome 2 obviously has and still has its issues). I prefer the historical titles although it almost seems like most of the talent went to the Warhammer teams when they split.
I saw that in Medieval 2 recently. It really looked lit how my Armored Swordsmen made space for the Spearmen to go through their lines.
Dude I never actually saw that, and Im messing around a lot with med custom battles. I'd really love the attention RUclipsrs give to Warhammer would be directed the classics. "20 things you don't realise happen in the battlefield" or something like that. For example, I just figured out that if you try to charge from inside charge distance, troops will charge at different speeds meaning they will very unorganized charge that will be ineffective and spread the formation. Which kinda makes sense because if you tell a tightly packed formation to suddenly run, many people will bump against eachother. Best way is to give them speed then charge. These little things make me love the game a lot. Kinda wish I knew how to program a game and make a modern looking medieval with the collisions of Rome, the power of missiles in medieval, and the beautiful spear heads that cav make on light infantry formations
I really like your usage of the term Nu-TW since it puts focus on the real problem of the decadence of mechanics in games, and also it is undermining idea of history/fantasy split that CA is imposing on its consumers, dividing us in half and distracting us from real issues.
damn right.

Too be fair, they haven’t done much with history while fantasy games continue to get tons of development and new games.
Rome 2 was the last major historical total war and that was almost a decade ago. After that all we got was Attila and Thrones of Britannia (neither were that good).
And no I don’t count Three Kingdoms or Troy as historical. Their source material reads more like fantasy than history and the fact they have individual hero units speaks volumes.
All this while they still haven’t touched (at least not extensively) the Pike and Shot Era (Thirty Years' War, English Civil War, French Wars of Religion, Ottoman Wars in Europe) nor have they touched the Victorian Era (Crimean War, American Civil War, Paraguayan War, etc.).
Rome 1 was a god damned masterpiece thats why
Watching these videos get me so bummed out at the state of total war.
Don't fear, just find an indie crew who feels the same and give them money & word-of-mouth marketing.
It actually drives me insane that probably the most effective strategy in Warhammer is just to charge huge monsters directly through your units who in combat like they arent there.
Medieval 2 also had the same unit collision but even better graphics and with mods it’s still the best TW game of all time
That makes alot of sense. Everytime i send my calvary over i always think I'm killing my own guys
In Empire and NTW you're actually killing your inf with cav
The difference between a game made with love, and another made for profit.
Also look how the Disciplined units make space for formation to walk pass them while the undisciplined ones don't. I haven't play Rome 1 in years but I think that was a thing.
Somehow this happens in so many games lately, I remember Company of heroes 1 having extremely cool animations for the infantry in which they would jump into holes for protection and similar stuff, not seen anymore in any other CoH game
Why did they remove that? It looks so cool and handy for skirmishers to get in and out of the frontline
Degradation, unfortunately...
I want Rome 3 to be
Rome 1: with Improved Game Engine
Rome 2: with Improved Graphics
Yeah really my only issue with Rome 1 was the damn pathfinding.

now lets see how they behave when they encounter an obstacle, like a tree, when in testudo formation
Why put the effort in? people keep buying the games and their DLC's at increasing rates so there's no encouragement for CA to start caring again and they never will, once one of these games tanks they won't suddenly wake up and realize they have to overhaul the gameplay, they'll just get shut down and no lessons will be learned.
exactly. race to the bottom and vicious cycle of decay of games and reduction of expectations.
@@Volound You put it very aptly man
Funny enough I have stopped supporting them for those very reason.
Hey volound, you should check out Total Conquest for Rome Remastered: It baffles me how much better they made Carthage when Compared with Rome 2, in the latest update.
Basically Cartaghe is split in 3 Factions like Vanilla rome but they got special Unification Mechanics, Events, Decisions and Expansion paths. They're soo much better than whatever Rome 2 was doing and when not playing as them the AI actually becomes a challenge!
And the gorgeous sound design of all those soldiers affirming their orders and the stomping on the ground. It felt like you were in the battle. Plus the original score was breathtaking. Rome 2 sounds like a wet cardboard.
The synchronised "URBAN COHORT" at the beginning goes hard af.
What should have been included in this was the fact that Rome 1 loads up and plays in like less than a minute with at most 2 load screens.
Whereas Rome2 is at least 5 minutes of loading.
If only they would have made Total War open source, so that modders could not only fix the many issues of the games, but improve and build upon them. Granted of course it should never come down to us to build the game for free for a multimillionaire company.
Bethesda all but expects modders to fix their game post launch, there are lower bars for CA to drop to
I disagree with this guy's political beliefs... but dear God is sign a petition to put him at the head of the TW dev team.
I don’t want to start a politics flame war but imo it’s his politics that allows him to have the analytical framework to critique this sorry mess like he does.

I recommend Rome remastered anyway… Original Rome has issues running in modern PCs. For me it didn’t even work.
They have improved Rome Remastered quite a lot since release. It's a very enjoyable experience on a modern PC. Haven't had lag, or crashes in 20+ hours of playing it, with the newest patch, which is officially the last one.
@@teemuvesala9575 Have you tried using the "windows compatibility tool" when installing it ?
It's amazing how they can go so far backwards, both in game mechanics and in things like the general speeches, population or building cities
There's so much more detail in general. The way cities actually had the buildings you built on the campaign map in battle. Seeing landmarks like the colossus of Rhodes in the battle map or even volcanoes depending on where you entered combat. Roads trafficked by traders on the campaign map. How shields seemed to actually work like shields and didn't just feel like cosmetics, The wealth of historical information in game. Why did they abandon all this?

Rome 1 was made with love you can tell
This is one of a TON of features that makes me so sad. They absolutely gutted total war.
LMAO the Urban Cohorts. Literal supermen.
CA has lost technology somehow
I 100% noticed this especially when playing the main civilization factions; Rome has a good design for it and it works even with some janky motions and clippings. Only the barbarian factions seemed to lack this feature
Rome 2 got a lot of flak for some pretty minor things the first game had; though Rome 2 had its moments, many say it pales in comparison to Rome 1.
Rome 2 got a lot of deserved flak from the community because it was terrible. EE was the first version of the game that was playable.
This same feature is in medieval 2 total war, it surprises me how RTW and M2TW have collisions with units that other total wars don't have
Okay nice, I remember seeing my infantry sometimes have those strange gaps in the lines, but I only ever noticed it after I had already run my troops through them, now there’s a nice explanation for it
They've lost the technology.
like roman concrete or greek fire. we will never see it again.

I have not messed around rome1 in a hot minute... seeing the units spread and form gaps blew my mind. Mainly because immortal elves ripping their aesthetic cant do it in TWIII
Part of why I like the Warhammers and 3K so much is that they at least seem to have collision again, or if not, they've made it look and feel a lot like they do. No more moshpits of soldiers sliding around and being half stuck inside each other, each side actually spaces out. Try this same experiment with Warhammer 2 if you have it, you might be pleasantly surprised.
Each unit actually has a "mass" number meaning if your mass is 1 and mine is 10 imma charge through and knock around your units
Velites: "move out the way bitch, we're on the frontlines"
CA discovered that instead of actually fixing total war they could fill it will dragons and it will sell more
It works though
At least TW:WH is actually good, unlike the new """historical""" TWs
@@lepathewarrior4445 its good if you pay 200 euros for all the dlc's
@@deumevet nah the base races are pretty good. It's only expensive if you want it all in one shot. Granted they should bundle it all up for half off for the first two games since they are old now.
But really once you find your favorite race just get dlc for that. Mine is dwarves and ogres so. That's one to two for me lol.
total war three kingdoms has this feature just with a single man general unit like say (example : General Cao Cao can move through whole formations on a horse they will all get outta his way). So with that in mind we know they can add these features to the new games they just choose not to or have forgotten the application of the feature completely
Rome 1 does have collision. Rome 2 didn't on release (thousands of videos if you want to look) but it was patched in later, though it never functioned as well as Rome 1's and would lead to rubber banding and such.
CA seriously needs to take a page from Bohemia Interactive with ARMA and update this ancient game engine. It worked for Napoleon and Empire, kinda for Shogun but moreso Fall of the Samurai.... and thats about it. They should use Medieval 3 to completely redesign how cav and infantry behave in the game engine cause right now it feels like an indie studio made this.
For "Creative" Assembly, that lot sure isnt all too creative.
The fact that the more disciplined units woud fucking form in columns to let the others pass is insanely good.
I adore rtw2, but this soft collision stuff is really noticeable after I've put a few hundred hours into it.
The patching seems worse too.
I lost three Praetorian Guard units after they climbed a ladder and decided to merge together into a single, stationary, blob.
Well almost stationary, they kept vibrating a bit, presumably this is them writhing in pain after being melted together in a blob of 400 men. 🤣
Rome 1:*open lines like a true profesional army*
Rome 2:" move your filthy ass,piece of barbarian biscuit"
I am so sad to see developers loose the love to the details more and more. I rather have bad graphics etc, but a detail rich game.
Play starsector for example. Old gen graphics but still unmatched by most games
Bruh they are both still good.
Looks like it functions almost identically. Only real difference is a slight upgrade and pathing (though its still terrible in newer titles)
They did that because game review were complaining that units get stuck in each other
Why don’t we get to keep cool stuff like this? Watching units change formations is awesome
