Simpson hopes Rome 2 will feel "a lot more like you're playing another human, or another faction, rather than playing a machine where some of its behaviour becomes predictable, where you can find its little quirks and end up playing against the quirks rather than against the intelligence". "And we're going to go a lot further with that as well, until we start going well beyond what people are expecting and not just meeting expectations."
"They ask for better AI all the time," he added, "and again, that's an area where we've worked very hard since Empire and have made a huge amount of progress.

And we do look, at the end of each game - in fact, all the way through the games now, we're constantly looking at what we can do better, and adjusting the team to make that happen. "It hasn't gone wrong that doesn't mean there aren't things in there we can always do better. "We're building a customer base all the time, so more and more people are playing.
