Some of you may have already seen this. A 30 min. gameplay video showing campaign and battle footage from the tutorial campaign. It's at... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zf_DV9zhIQ Check it out but please be prepared for moistening loins associated with this footage. ;D ;D

I will not watch this, I will not watch this, I will not.........

For a good reason (like awesomeosity) or does.it look like a hot mess? I am leaning towards the former.

There was another video at Gamespot of the same campaign and battle, a little differently played-out but I swear, in one battle scene I saw a Roman soldier head-butt an opponent, or helmet-butt I guess. That's a new move. One tiny complaint for me. I liked the Greco-Roman look of the unit cards at first, like in Shogun 2's Japanese themed unit cards, but now they're starting to look a little ugly to me. They look like they're "Tip-toeing" through something. Elephant pooh maybe?

I suppose that will be one of the first things modded in the game..... I like them, however I can see how a more defined card would help.

Yeah not sure I like them either...but I did like the Shogun 2 cards.
Thanks for the link,
Sir Slash. Looks like they're playing through the narrative-driven mini-campaign (which I gather also acts as a sort of tutorial).

I find they have a certain charm as well.
I can understand those folks who don't care for the unit cards' look, but personally I find they add a nice touch to the game. A little immersion/atmosphere can go a long way with me.
^Yeah the Shogun 2 cards remind me of mah-jong tiles.
Agreed Gus. I noticed not a sound from the game in the video. I wonder if that's good or bad.
Well well well....thanks to Mr Slash and his link, I've had to go and pre-order this - even though I don't have the GPU or CPU to see it in all it's glory! :)
Hahaha! Send Slash the receipt.
One of the things I've worried least about TW games is the audio...it's always at least decent.
Decent? I always found the battlefield sounds top notch! The swell of storming cavalry nearing the camera makes me 'moist in the groin' every single time, to use one of your own phrases. ;) Hehe.
You're welcome Gentlemen. I get a cut of all CA's pre-order action of course. I'm putting it all in a retirement home here in Fla. for old, senile Grogs. So we'll all have a place to go to and talk about Nipples. 8)

Another of our brave comrades has fallen to the siren's song. Alas, who is still with me in their resistance?
TW audio is decent at a minimum! Most of the time I agree it is very good.
Tent your Mom just told me that she preordered.
Hang in there Tent. This could be CA's attempt to take-over the world by brainwashing us with their mind-controlling games. Which would make you our sole-savior. ;)

I'm still with you CT... But I played RTW more than all the other TW games combines. Roman history is one of my favorite eras to read and I havef read quit a bit.... All that to say I'm hanging on by a thread.. Hurry up EU IV....
