Rome 2 : Total War

This ought to be awesome, and maybe even worth upgrading my 7850 for, sounds like I might need it.

Trouble with new TW games is having played much better modded versions, I quickly pine for RTR WITH Metro mod (RTW 1) and Stainless Steel (MTW 2).

Hopefully this is so epic i'll be able to play it vanilla for a long time.

IIRC some said it's definitely coming this year?

Hopefully, CA don't have a habit of delaying games.. but if it turns out like ETW then I wish they did. But Shogun 2 was relatively bug free comparatively anyhow.

I skipped ETW and NTW they didn't look great to me, I don't think they're considered highpoints in the TW series. Hopefully this is not a creamy elephant!

Don't get me wrong, they were great games but a bit too ambitious. They introduced naval warfare, biggest area to date, so many gameplay mechanics also.

Looks good not enough of these type of games coming out

dirtybeatfreak · 1 Feb 2013 at 17:18

Am really excited for this, even though I am rubbish at TW

Lad at work is really looking forwards to playing this but is wanting a new Pc for it.
Have there been any requirements publicised yet?

Darujhistan · 4 Feb 2013 at 03:12

Poor choice when you only have eight factions IMO. Far more influential factions to choose than the Iceni.

No, not yet. From what I have seen it's going to be very demanding.

Were very buggy on release too, I may actually go back and give them a shot, if I can get them cheap and with a good mod.

Well no official system requirements have been published, but the devs have said they are aiming for similar system requirements to shogun 2.

i would also recommend darthmod. i use it for both napoleon and empire total war

djxput · 6 Feb 2013 at 12:50

Not sure I like the Iceni faction - I really hope they have a nice mix when you consider there is only 4 factions left. And lots of people already thinking one of them will be a spartan type.

guess we'll have to see

I could see a germania or gaul and then a spain and persia type and then perhaps a scythia.

Adisan · 6 Feb 2013 at 13:02

Will be getting this, if it does come out. Loved playing the first one.

Jono8 · 6 Feb 2013 at 13:14

No doubt there will be countless DLC/pre-order bonus factions anyway so i doubt it will just be 8 in the end

opethdisciple · 6 Feb 2013 at 13:21

I really would have liked to get in to Shogun 2, but..... I just had no friggin idea what I was doing campaign management wise!
