There will be a sandbox mode, eventually. I do agree that they should've led the EA with sandbox mode and worked on story mode to release it later though. As it stands we have an unfinished and pretty tedious main quest. That being said I suppose it's probably more efficient to test and tweak the questline while the game is still in EA, so I can understand why they did what they did.

Totally, man... but the Empire culture is based on the ERE/Roman Empire... The kits in gear and weaponry even cooking utensils and tunics were the same... You have to admit it's totally a turn off see many with swords and 5 or 10 carrying a mace..WTF?

The idea of the legion might come from Imperial Rome, but the Imperials are very clearly stylistically based on the medieval "Byzantine" empire, which most certainly did not have extreme standardization. Byzantine infantrymen used both axes and maces alongside spatha-derived swords and, later, sabers and saber-like swords.

I don't understand why TW gave up on the village upgrade system? At the very least they could have implemented something else in it stead? It's just uninspiring work to me. I have said time and time again, they added basically nothing that modders did to vastly improve vanilla WB. I don't understand it.

Iirc, when they had to rework their engine (again) they discovered that the system didn't work. But don't quote me on that.

I just want an option to ignore it. Good 'ole sandbox mode.

Some of us can barely play the game at all, like myself. But frankly, they're rolling out a patch a day, trying their best to fix the myriad of issues the game has. And like My.Simple said, the game had to be rebuilt at least once on an entirely new engine.

I played MP in beta, for the last version before EA, it was guard units that were the closest to op. Spears in shield wall or square chew up cav.

Played beta as well. Never had any issue with cav so long as I put my unit in square. Archers though? Wew. It's like armor is made of cardboard.

Cav is just ridiculously op. They have the ability to one shot anything in the game wIth no counter and can run away if they miss.

Spears exist for a reason.

All we can do for now is hope they fix the memory leak. It might even make 8 gigs playable. I would still recommend buying at least another 4gb if possible however.

Spent a couple in-game months going back and forth to every. Single. Vlandian. Town. Not a single piece of body armor ever.

Apparently its some kind of issue with newer Radeon and gtx 1000 series gpu's. The game seems to really, really dislike them.

Also having this issue...along with a variety of other interesting graphical oddities.

Definitely getting a memory leak now. Took a couple hours, but its there. I hope they fix whatever's making the game go ape**** on certain gpu's.

Seems to be a trend among Nvidia cards. Haven't experienced any memory leaks as far as I can tell, but the game is barely playable at all.
