EU4 vs TW:ROME 2 transporting...

[Smitzer]

I know there has been a few complaints about EU4 not being good enough,deep enough and so on but without commenting on those I must add this:
EU4 tutorial has a moment when it tell´s you that your soldiers need transport boats to cross seas,since no soldier can magically transform itself into a boat.All fine here

But CA´s Rome Total war 2 have supposadly no need for transport, according to in-game features page armies just gonna create transports from thin air...

Now, we can all think about depth of EU4 has to offer.

just because another game is crappy doesnt justify another being less crappy

always aim high

This game is the epitome of uncrappy.

I prefer the Rome 2 version actually.

no

give a year, dozen patches, couple DLCs, some decent mods then it will be fun.

but as of now, its quite crappy

I think the main reason for that functionality in Rome 2 is it's apparently really hard to get the AI to do naval invasions properly with the Warscape (Total War) engine. It also simplifies things.

It's really an extremely different kind of game from this, though. EU is about "grand" strategy, while TW is more about battles with some economic management thrown in.

I'm actually really looking forward to Rome 2.
Eu4 is totally different though and I'm excited for that in another way.

I thought the "magically transform into boat" bit was actually a jab at Civ games. Just like the "Bring Civilization out of the Dark Ages" slogan.

In CK1, your armies transported to other shores magically (at a cost though).

Quite the boldly cynical position to take for a game not yet available for full testing - and thus judging.
