Looks great. Thanks for the heads-up.

Wow! Awesome video!

It looks very pretty, and an entertaining video, but is SOOO vanilla with the regular, stereotyped appearance of the troops. :o I hope it will be easy for the modders to reskin them according to what archaeology tells us they'd look like. I hope they don't make wardogs as a unit as they did in RTW, nor any of the other fantasy units either. You can tell I'm a Rome:Total Realism fan can't you.... ::)

I want Attack Elephants! It's interesting we've not seen any Eastern troop types as yet displayed.

Yeah, a little more historical authenticity this time around would be appreciated.  I realize fun/gameplay still trumps realism, and I'm probably not quite as anal about accuracy as some, but they could at least avoid the more "out there" units such as the Wardogs, I agree. 

That being said, however...  For me personally, so long as they manage to give the game decent AI and don't repeat the utterly atrocious voice-acting from its predecessor, everything else is gravy.  ;)

I do hope we see a more authentic Ptolemaic Egypt this time around.  That faction was, if anything, even more ill-treated than the various barbarian clans IMO.

War dogs are cool but nothing beat the infected pig carcases you could fling over the walls with your trebuchets in MTW.   ;D

^Cows, they were cows! You're thinking of the flaming pigs in the original Rome: Total War.

I think a great campaign would be Alexander's Successors, the Diadochi, with early Rome and Carthage growing in the western Med.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Master Chiefs are sneaky, dastardly, and snarky miscreants who thrive on the tears of Ensigns and belly dancers.   Admiral Gerry Bogan.

^There's a few books out now about Alexander's successor kingdoms and their wars that look great. That's an area of history I know nothing about and would make for a great Total War game.
