Rome II

[Sir Slash]

Have you read the Greek preview at the TW Center forum? Sparta should be a real challenge. No ports, no friends and no Gerald Butler or whatever his name is. Hope they make friends with elephants real easy. ;D

[Nefaro]

Carthage? Respectable. Sparta? Epic.

hollywood sap - get your hannibal on

Real Grogs go Epirus.

[Gusington]

Are the Seleucids playable upon release?

[Sir Slash]

No Seleucids at launch. DLC Probably when the "Moist Loins" edition comes out.

[Gusington]

My moist loins edition has been on the verge of coming out for some time.

[Sir Slash]

You can get arrested for that where I live.

[Sir Slash]

Lets try this one. 4min. video of naval combat.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZthalx7bnQ 
Hope this one works. That's naval combat not naval gazing. If you don't know the difference, I can't help you.

[Martok]

That's what she said. But not about August. And my response to her is appropriate here: don't worry baby when you get to the end it will all be worth it.

Sparta Carthage DOTA 2 Athens beckons!

Fixed again.  ;D

Thanks for the link, Sir Slash.  I'll need to master this aspect of the game if my Athenians are to rule the Aegean! 

[Sir Slash]

My advice Martok is to... should I say it? RAM IT!!!  Couldn't resist,couldn't resist. ;D ;D

[Martok]

It is going to a little strange, though: 

Between reading David Weber's Honor Harrington and Safehold series, plus what (admittedly little) studying I've done of combat during the Age of Sail, I've got it drilled into my skull to always "cross" the enemy's "T"...and now I'm going to have to try to do the exact opposite!

What's the saying -- "ramming always works"?  :P 

[Gusington]

Classical age naval combat has the potential to be awesomely fun.

[Martok]

I know it's way before the time period (by a couple centuries), but I'd love to see Salamis as an historical battle. 

[Gusington]

I can guarantee you will either by mod or DLC in the future.

[Staggerwing]

Are Gauls, Goths, and Germanics going to be playable at release? Britons? Picts?

[Gusington]

No, because the game begins roughly at around 200 BC. Like in the original Rome TW I would look for the peoples you mentioned in the Fall of Rome expansion. I like late era Rome more than the era of Caesar, etc., so I am really looking forward to that when it comes.
