I promise, we will make it awesome.

TrevorJ · Jul 2012

You Better!!, just kidding, i'm sure CA will make it awesome. Super excited, havent played a Total War since the last Rome, not for a lack of want, more of a computer performance/lack of funds problem.

ericdigital · Jul 2012

Man, I love these games. Looks great!

nicocabbalero · Jul 2012

Yeah don't get me wrong. I have loved all the total war games its just Rome felt a lot more epic than the others.

Orangeknight · Jul 2012

Yes! Rome Total War was by far the best, it was simple but had alot of underlying complexity about it. Who didnt like getting a unit of the most elite beserkers and sending them agianst a full unit of peasents and not losing one. Thank You for this game!

rome was the best by far, shogun was cool but rome just made me feel epic

I've been a huge fan of the series since Medieval 1 came out and I swear that the loading/turn times keep getting worse every time a new game is released. I really wanted to enjoy Shogun II, but half the time I was just staring at a loading bar or an unresponsive campaign map.

That said I'm super excited to hear about the game. I had spent countless hours with vanilla Rome, RTR, Europa Barbarorum and dozens of other mods. I'm hoping that a new engine means we will get back the mod support. I recall CA guys praising Steam Workshop a short while ago, so Im really hoping for something.

Im easy to please CA, give me some mods and reasonable loading times and I will love you forever

Orangeknight · Jul 2012

I'm slightly scared on how they are doing the whole managing a legion instead of a squad. Because I rather like the squads and how you can grow attached to them and they are your own creation. Like TeaandCigarettes said I hope you dont have to wait to long between turns.

I'm going to change my signature for safety.

And I will see what info is public from the communications guys, so I can share with y'all.

I will clear info with comms. dept tomorrow and maybe give you some info in that area? Possibly, allegedly etc.

It's certainly an interesting historical period!

o wow, thnks

Also, we are hiring, so anyone interested fire off a CV to us.

So excited for this, and the separate tech trees sound like a great idea, one of my main gripes with the first Rome was that the barbarians could only technologically advance a little but then they where at a permanent disadvantage.

Mongrelman · Jul 2012

Looks great

PS. Give Mauro a slap for me and tell him 'the anatomy is all wrong'.

Mr.Mint · Jul 2012

...with you since Shogun I,
stopped at Medieval II since Steam is a requirement rather than an option
otherwise I would say

Really hard to resist after seeing these screenshots, but I will stay strong.:poly142:
(hopefully)

Neox · Jul 2012

still playing Rome and Medieval 2 from time to time, gogogo make it good

IchII3D · Jul 2012

Oh hell yeah! Being playing Total War for over a decade now and it just doesn't stop giving! If you guys have Shogun 2 I highly recommend The Sekigahara Campaign, it basically tweaks the original Shogun 2 campaign without changing to much. But it also introduces some new gameplay concepts and a nicer balance of units. I love the balance between guns, arrows and infantry. Its literally perfect for gameplay. The Campaign also doesn't become trivialized when you get to a certain point in power. It keeps providing a challenge and balance all the way to the end!

P.S. if you have old Total War games you played but didn't like much try the mods. Often you will find a balance that suits what you always wanted from the game. Although without a doubt CA have always had an amazing foundation by itself.

dii · Jul 2012

Looks incredible! I like the move toward more detailed city combat.

I don't suppoes the load times have been improved since Shogun 2? Or the coop synching issues... Every time I launched the game I had to sit there in disbelief wondering what the fuck was taking so long. :0

Joshua Stubbles · Jul 2012

Damn, I always loved Rome the most. I'm really quite excited about this.
