Rome II

Interesting I don't remember reading anything about emergent factions and how they will work here.

Wouldn't you know it, the Seleucids have just been announced as free DLC: www.twcenter.net.

Bison wins.

And....Parthia is a playable faction from Day 1.So is Pontus. Now I am not so sure who my starting faction will be. DOH

Now I am not so sure who my starting faction will be.

Wouldn't it be wrong to not start as Rome?

  This is all good news.  The more playable factions the better, though I'm not sure how they would all fit into the geography
at this point, or rather in 272 BC.

I might start as Macedon or Pontus just because I tend to gravitate toward the Black sea lately (as the Byzantines or Khazars in CKII for example).  And I saw that Macedon play-through which looke fun.

I am sure I will enjoy playing Rome, but eastern factions like Pontus or Parthia interest me more in this era. Love me some cavalry, either heavy or light horse archers.

In the Fall of Rome era, Rome is definltely my favorite, especially the Eastern Romans.

It may be the Seleucids but in the initial release they are not playable :(

I just read somewhere that the Selucids as a playable faction is going to be free DLC, but not til a few weeks after release. 

Incidentally, I believe Pontus as a playable faction is supposed to be release-day free DLC.

Maybe you read it a few posts above yours?

Wow.  Even by my usual standards, that is a new level of dumb for me.  :-[

Don't worry. You're probably still in the middle of the Bell Curve AFA this place goes....  :D

That's a scary thought.  :o

Honestly, this video isn't that great (although the phalanx/pike action is interesting to watch).  However, it has BRIAN BLESSED in the beginning, so there's that.  8)

Did he do the tutorial narration for the original MTW?

NM the question. IMDB says it was Sean Pertwee.
