if anyone is interested me and blank door are doing a stream of Rome 2 multiplayer campaign

When, where, and why didn't you tell meeee

Sorry we were then my Internet crapped out hopefully we will pick it up again soon

Yeah, the AI is absolutely worthless is a siege.

I think the sheer variety of the siege maps and how many obstacles there are confuses it.

In the field it is amazing.

Has anyone else actually managed to successfully kill a character with assassination? I have literally never managed it at all, the best I ever do is wound. This is across multiple different campaigns, with different assassins, with success chances as high as 80%.

I've managed to kill a warlard with assassination, but all of the generals I've tried it on mostly end up wounded instead.

[Chattox]

I literally cannot kill anyone with anyone. I've tried with all three agent types, against many different targets, and the best I ever get is a wound. Wondering if it's a bug or just astronomical bad luck.

[DoomOnion]

Are they fresh recruits? I've been assassinating a lot with my spy that has like, 8 cunning.

[lastverb]

I had successfully assassinated a few generals (a spy with zeal action ). It just barely gives anything as it is instantly replaced by a new one.

[umiman]

It will immediately replace the general with a 1 1 1 general. The next turn will have a 3 3 3 general provided the faction still exists. If you wiped out the last city, the army will immediately die since there's no one to replace it.

[timferius]

High level generals can get rather powerful with all the buffs they get, so I can see the benifit of assassinating sometime. On that note, do the AI follow the same internal politics rule? So if I manage to assassinate their leader, can it through their political balance off and maybe cause problems? Is there a way to get insite in to their politics?

[SharpKris]

i feel there's a lack in actual politics...

Highest rank was rank 6 or so.

It really depends on your faction and your playstyle, though.
When I was playing as rome, diplomacy was basically thrown out of window as everyone just downright hated me.

When I played as the Athens.. well, the politics were a lot more interesting and dynamic.

I'm ~120 Turns in as Gaul and so far enjoy the game despite a few large caveats. I absolutely love the way agents work now and hope CA expands on the formula instead of reinventing it for the next game. I couldn't stand the 1 turn = 1 year rate however and had to stop my game as Rome to download a 2 turn per year mod which, imo, feels far more natural and now I don't have people dying left and right unless it's from assassination. There are also a LOT of bugs still left... e.g. When attacking the Iceni starting city my transports would somehow teleport my general to the NE map edge instead of letting me into the city. Apparently the druids pulled an Evil Jade on me.

And balance seems to be all over the place. Oathsworn, especially when upgraded by the Averni bronze/iron smith, cut through pretty much anything with few to no losses. At this point it's me slogging through Africa and eastern Europe to get that culture victory while stomping on insurrection proactively. Even with no slaves, only level 2 fish ports, and a maxed tech line that adds public order I can hardly build anything thanks to squallor. Gonna see how Rome handles my war machine now

Also <3 Champions. I'd give one for every general if I could. Spies are also rather brutal if they've trained up mass poisoning.

[scriver]

About champions. What is this adventuring thing? I can't find any option for it.

Seems to be passively applied. At least it's listed underneath my champion's active effects always.
