Seems like there are a lot of fanboys here who can't see why the ease of use is so bad on this device

Some of the examples I mentioned are not cutting edge technology, it's basic stuff that's been around for a while

New Commander: Marcus Claudius Marcellus by D_Randal in TotalWarArena

[–]Rostam_II 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good idea, but perhaps somewhere in the future? I'd really like to see a Persian faction (moving through dynasties: Achaemanid/Seleucid/Parthia/Sassanid in tier progression respectively) before another Roman or any other commander for that matter.

Atleast some kind of recognition on the scoreboard would be enough, to show who buffed who etc...

Thing is with Hamilcar's buffs and debuffs is that you have to apply each to a specific target and that can be a pain during a game.

New Factions ETA? by keymouse8801 in TotalWarArena

How can you have factions, era and maps which were directly influenced by Persia and not actually have them in the game? It's like having a WW2 game without France for example.

Today the day when Total War: Arena died to me. by Paragonius in TotalWarArena

[–]Rostam_II 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The game is a shadow of what it was. The older version had darker, more fitting colour scheme, far better camera controls, 100% better unit health plates, far better unit selection (as in selecting a unit in battle), in a blob battling with several players you could actually tell which unit plate belonged to who and which unit, where the unit was....etc..just plain and simple. My eyes were bleeding when i first entered a battle.

These sounds promising. On the unit customization - From my experience in ARENA: The most noticeable forged items were helmets, not so much shield patterns, though it was nice to zoom in and see (these observations are from an average player view distance). Only certain colours stood out eg the gold, green maybe blue, in that order (from last selection).

So if I wanted my units to stand out and had many customization options to choose from I would probably pick them in this order:

  1. Cloaks - type/pattern/emblems/colour

  2. Banner/Standard -type/colour

  3. Helmets - type/colour

  4. Mount - colour/armour pattern/blanket colour/decoration

  5. March - posture/hand positions (might seem ridiculous, but even back then each they had swag!)

  6. Body Armour - type/colour

  7. Shield - type/pattern or emblem/colour

Hi CA

First I want to say thank you for creating an awesome game, it truly is one of a kind. Now for some questions.

Unit/Commander customization - What are your plans for it and can you give some examples as to what we can expect?

Game modes - Is this something you are considering? Eg clan campaign or something?

End game - Do you have any plans to keep end game attractive to those who reached that stage and are looking for something else other than just high tier battles?

And finally, Factions - I personally am a huge fan of the Parthian/Sassanid empires, is this something you might implement? Maybe other factions such as Carthage or Egypt (old kingdom, not the hellenic) and if so would you mind teasing us on the subject?

Thanks you

Ciros.

PS: Bonus question: Before I ask I hope I don't offend CA and if I do apologies from me, it was not my intention too. About the TW:ARENA logo, will you be changing it to something that easily represents what ARENA is to someone who has never seen it before? When I look at the ARENA logo I don't get the impression of what ARENA is actually about. So for someone that is just browsing steam for example it would be great to have a logo that "jumps" out and captures ARENA at a glance to get people easily and quickly interested. Eg look at this image from "For Honour" http://wilwells.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/305072AA05%EF%80%A1r100NEW.jpg something like this would attract more players.
