Future DLC for Rome 2 TW?

[GDS_Starfury]

I have always loved playing the Persians in any era, to be honest.

Dont lie, your such a palistine.

^Have you read Ghost on the Throne?

Oh.  Now you've gone and did it.

I'll have to go purchase this ASAP now that you just mentioned it.  Damn yous all!

:-*




Pretty sure someone had recommended it before, too.  I've just been so swamped with stuff I wanna do and not enough time to cram it all in.

[Nefaro]

And I'm having trouble picking a TW faction to play while reading 'Ghost'...Macedon? Sparta? Seleucids? All fascinating factions.

Maybe some other I haven't even thought of yet?

Ptolemaic Egypt?

I think the Diadochi Wars would be a good start setting for the CK2 engine too.  Paradox needs to get on it.

TW games have always been gateways to historical eras I don't know much about...the Greek Successor States are my newest :)

Ghost on the Throne was a great read as was The Gothic War about Justinian's campaign to re-claim Italy from the Goths. I prefer post-Republic to the pre-Republic timeline but an extended Punic Wars DLC would get my money. I wish CA would do a Warring-States in China kind of thing sometime but maybe they think there would be a lack of interest in the subject.

[Gusington]

I would buy a Warring States TW so fast it would snap your neck. It really does not make any sense that they have not done the Warring States...it seems so similar to Japanese Warring States period.

[Sir Slash]

Totally agree. And it would be a fresh subject for them-- and us. I had hoped CA would add an African or Chinese DLC for ETW. Maybe too politically incorrect. But they already had the elephants lined-up ready to go. ;D

[Gusington]

Koei Games made a whole industry out of the Chinese warring states!

I cannot second this strongly enough.  With the possible exception of the Peloponnesian War, there is no period I want more badly to get the TW treatment. 

[Gusington]

Now that you mention it I don't know why the haven't done a Greek-centric TW either. At least with the Rome games Greek factions are included, even if they are in the twilight of their power in this era.

Poking around TWC I saw a similar conversation to this and mention of a Beast of War DLC, allegedly about Hannibal's campaigns:

Hannibal or some of my old girlfriends. 8)

^Hawt.

Both Nefaro and I are hoping they will make a WW2 expansion
