Rome 2 : Total War

[carlazai]

I did like Rome, keep thinking about re-installing it.
Don't the Total War games usually come out with pretty big hardware requirements?
And usually require slightly more VRAM than Nvidia provide as standard?
Guess I'm gonna need 4GB cards...

Not sure about the VRAM issues but certainly these games will eat lesser machines into a stuttering mess of gfx. This is the reason why i am not afraid to upgrade for this series as they never fail to deliver (or some modder does in fact)

If anyone watches American Dad and has heard the noise Stan made while pleasuring himself... That's the sound that I've just made.

RTW II sounds great. The AI has come a long way now so hopefully they will get it right. I also hope they have decent unit variety for the factions.

 

[PGdude]

I'm glad TW:RII is coming, can't wait to get stuck in.

and so it begins...

Great news! Love RTW!

Best Total War game ever.

They really need to work on the AI though, bring back some features from Rome (city view, anyone?), use some of the improvements from the newer games (naval combat), end most importantly, make sure to use the basics from the original Rome.

Newer games were nowhere near as fun to play, excluding Medieval 2 which proved to be very good with mods.

I agree. The city view and street fighting in Rome was great fun. The diplomacy seemed better too, I always liked bribing attack armies to leave/join me.

More dynamic battlefields would be nice, and a return of fighting at river crossings, rather than always being in big open fields.

One thing I've always wanted in Total War is to be able to launch amphibious attacks on ports.

Nothing came close to Rome:Total war for me. Fantastic news

 

[JoeF1]

Excited much!!

and so it begins...

I love the element of familiar music at the end

If this trailer is anything to go by (which it's proabably not! lmao) could it be that it'll have a little more of a diplomatic basis and developement? That would be good

I prefer Shogun 2 myself, but then again I'm just obsessed with the Samurai.

 

[Neil79]

I prefer the original medieval since then, down hill

 

[Darujhistan]

Yes!!!

Trouble is we'll be waiting a while before the mod community makes it playable.

Very well picked up.... Rome: Total War is quite old now!

 

[Posty]

Remaking classics is risky but they did very well with shogun 2

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Hopefully they do as well as they did with Shogun 2. I also hope they take a looks at Rome Total Realism for some ideas tbh. This will be a day one purchase for me.

 

[PsychoPigeon]

This is THE JUICIEST news all hour.

 

[Mucky Pup]

Really looking forward to this. Rome Total War with the Total Realism mod is the best in the series IMO, closely followed by Medieval 2 with the Third Age and Stainless Steel mods.

Nice find PsychoPigeon
