Rome: Total War II - Valerian Pertinax - 12-07-2012
Remember: 8 playable factions for now. Who knows what expansions will be available for this game? I for one would love to see some Medieval 2 style mini campaigns, such as the insurrection in Judea, Caesar's conquest of Gaul, Trajan's subjugation of Dacia, Tiberius's Germanic adventures, The Boudicca Revolt, and Marcus Agrippa's underreported campaign in Hispania. Really, the list could go on and on, and would be fantastic to play as even the "barbarian" factions.

Quote:The latest screenshots look great, though some helmet types there seem to be over represented (and at the same time, the Montefortino type is rather under represented):.

Mid-republican style officers parading next to the Pantheon of Agrippa, with the look it took around the II century CE? And next to it an amphitheater (the Colosseum?). Historycally accurate?

Quote:Mid-republican style officers parading next to the Pantheon of Agrippa, with the look it took around the II century CE? And next to it an amphitheater (the Colosseum?). Historycally accurate?Yeah, it's pretty painful. It might well be a staged mockup for PR purposes rather than an ingame event, but it is rather grating in its presentation. Note that the swords do not have scabbards (or any visible means of attachment), which presumably means ingame models lack them in general, which is rather sad.
Edit: I do however appreciate the fact they are not marching in step, which would be anachronistic for any Roman period.
Rome: Total War II - Gaius Julius Caesar - 12-08-2012
I wonder how you can be so sure about that point!
Sorry the link doesn't seem to be taking me top the same place.
Just a conversation about the new game and mods......??? :unsure:
Rome: Total War II - M. Demetrius - 12-08-2012
Well, let's hope the playability of the game, and the things offered during the gameplay make any historical or equipment shortcomings of lesser importance. And pretty much anything we see before the release of the game is subject to change and editing. Let's not order the executioner to get ready just yet.

Rome: Total War II - Flavivs Aetivs - 12-12-2012
Well provided they make the game moddable I'm fine with it. I'm looking forward to R2TW: Barbarian Invasion II

Rome: Total War II - Agricola - 12-15-2012
That picture of what I think is the Carthaginian Sacred Band looked pretty impressive. I'm really starting to look forward to this game now.

I would love to see a reconstruction of both AOE titles.
Aoe III was a huge failure.
Rome: Total War II - Marcus F. - 02-02-2013
So, after the Romans, the Carthaginians and the Makedons, there's a forth faction: the Iceni

Bit underwhelmed to be honest. The Iceni aren't nearly as significant an enemy or even a people as the other factions. They're not even particularly pre-eminent within Britain. If they had to include a British tribe, it should probably have been the Catevellauni or the Brigantes imo.
