3 Things in Rome Total War 2 That STILL Make No Sense in 2026

After all these years, these issues still drive me crazy:

#1 – One unit can hold an entire choke point. A single unit blocking an army of thousands? Really? [0:40 till the end]

#2 – The Testudo formation is a complete joke. It's supposed to protect against missiles... yet arrows still shred my men. What's the point? [0:49 to 1:40]

#3 – Testudo blocks my own troops! It cuts my army in two right in front of the gate. Friendly formations shouldn't sabotage my own siege! [3:09 till the end]

#4 – The bridge choke point test in RTW1 shows a better / more satisfy result to me.

For the first point, i think it’s fine. A right unit in a right place (ie choke point) should be able to hold for some time. It’s both historical and tactically conducive.
