Wow, this is a long read. Well worth it for anyone who got caught in Rome TW2's hype and subsequent disappointment.

Would be good to see what other games he later worked on. Will try to remember to look him up on linkedin when I have time

I was such a fan of the original RTW. It was such a shame how bad the launch of II was, and to this day I've never played it. By the time it was fixed, there were other games out that were never broken to begin with.
