Creatively Assembly pushed back the release of the Total War: Rome 2 – Caesar in Gaul campaign until December 17th. The gall of these developers.
With the extra time, Creative assembly wants to squeeze in some last minute fixes to further improve the main game. These new improvements releases free to all players, not just those who buy the new campaign.
Patch 8 and 8.1 address the following areas:
Patch 8 notes
- Technical and performance issue updates including crash fixes.
- New culture system – culture no longer works on 100%-0%, instead aiming to achieve an equilibrium between the cultures present in a province, relative to their respective culture points.
- Additional AI fixes.
- The Post-battle loading screens for Custom/ Multiplayer battles are now interactive, after load so the player can see kills/losses of other armies in battle.
Patch 8.1 notes
- Improvements to siege artillery using flaming projectiles appropriately (when attacking walls and towers).
- Additional fixes to AI and pathfinding.
- Fixes to issues with AI’s interaction with walls in siege battles, enabling a more effective use of siege towers and ladders.
The Caesar in Gaul campaign and the updates arrive next week on Steam.
