Rome II

There's a playable British faction, the Iceni I think, a playable German faction, the Suebi, and a playable Gaul faction. I'll probably start with Rome/Julia faction like I did in the Original RTW as a warm-up. I hope the Gauls aren't push-overs like in RTW. Damn! Is it STILL August?

No, because the game begins roughly at around 200 BC.

.. and There Will Be DLC. :P

Probably even another full-priced FOTS type of standalone or two.

If they're gonna expand any time period with expansions & such.. please let it be this Classical one.

QFT? Please explain. This isn't about south-of-the-border again is it?

Quoted For Truth. Right now my favorite TW game is Fall of the Samurai. But when they do the Fall of Rome era with this engine, that could change.

August is now more than half over where I am sitting.

Sir Slash · August 16, 2013, 11:21:21 AM

OK. Got it now. Are we expecting the down-loading to begin at mid-night the 2nd. Or is there an announced time the 3rd. it will begin? Or is it too early to think about it and I should shut-up?

Gusington · August 16, 2013, 01:35:22 PM

Well Space Hulk was slated for August 15 release and it was ready to download when I got to my home pc yesterday at 6pm.

You have too much patience

^Now we're even closer than we were before!!

Think I have decided not to pre-purchase. I have found EU IV a very deep and satisfying game. I'll probably purchase eventually however.... who knows though.

A German gaming site has posted a huge number of screenshots (from both the battle- and campaign map):

Of course they look awesome, but I wish we could see some screenies of some of the non-Roman factions as well. (Show me the Greeks, dammit!)
