Creative Assembly has just made the next patch for Total War: Rome II live, and it brings with it numerous gameplay tweaks and optimisations. There's also a "big focus" on siege AI. The patch has been in beta since earlier this week, and fan feedback has been positive.
"Along with a host of significant battle and campaign improvements, this patch enables the battle AI to use its siege equipment more effectively, and employ its combined forces with a much greater level of co-ordination. This provides the player with a sharpened level of challenge, and a considerably more satisfying siege-battle experience," said the announcement.
