First Rome II: Total War in game video

[Kushan]

I'm going to have dreams of Europa Barbarorum 3 tonight.....not that were likely to see that anytime soon for R2TW. I may have to break my vow to never get another TW game if this actually turns out to be good.

[Gusington]

I'm a realist...but that would be awesome. With Fall of the Samurai I really thought they were going to go forward into the late 19th century...with steam ships and trains and all. Oh well.

I just don't think the TW game design works well for modern combat.  It works great with clashing sword and shield walls and lines of archers.  The Nappy game is pretty good but again the units are in a formation that you just don't see in modern warfare.  "Hey look!  It's a square of airborne infanty!  Quick form the line!" 

[Gusington]

I agree to an extent...Fall of the Samurai is solid. But then again it does have a varied mix of melee and more modern troop types. TW is at its best in the ancient or medieval era though. So Rome 2 should be "their best game yet" with everything they have learned.

I'm just a sucker for the Victorian era. And boobs.

[Bison]

Well who can argue with boobs?

[MetalDog]

I've seen plenty of people try.

*Guffaw!*

I'm just happy they've got the elephants back again, English accents or not. :o

I'm just a sucker for boobs.

My wife had one of those

[Gusington]

Only one??

[undercovergeek]

well it was for getting milk out, i never really thought of the benefit of doing 2 at once - although during those sex starved days of  post natal soreness i would have paid to watch her do that

[Gusington]

 :o

[Bison]

And a subtle line in the sand has been crossed here today.

[undercovergeek]

too much?

[TheCommandTent]

Wow, what a way to start the morning.  :P
