Yeah, there wasn't really much interesting. I like how they have a new "political" aspect to this game, in that your key figures are now going to be very important at home politically, as much as they are abroad fighting etc. Should be interesting to see what they come up with. They sort of introduced it a little in Shogun 2 with all the custom units such as Shinobi's and Geisha's but this sounds better.

I like the detail on the shields, making them look like veterans

Time to save for the new rig then this & Arma 3 are going to rock my world next year!
Hope they include some form of assassination units love the little videos of them sneaking in & either making the kill or being killed.

I remember the early alpha of shogun2 looking very nice and this just looks the same, so expect the final version to look even better than this
And i do hope it aint too demanding, im a little worried even on my [email protected] and 670 SLI

They have already said they are aiming for the same system requirements as shogun 2.

yes it will,

well multi threads as a new engine would be needed for multi core as per most games.

A rare thing these days. What I call a NHG (new hardware game).

The rare occurrence where I would be prepared to shell out a few hundred to get the best experience from a new game. Actually there's 2 coming. This and Sim City 5.

Heh. Completely agree with this! This is the game that is really really exciting me . Thankfully Company of Heroes 2 is due out earlier in the year so I'll have something to keep me occupied whilst waiting for Rome 2.

Only 8 factions?

But don't forget

Some factions are split into a number of playable families, which bring further unique benefits to their base faction traits.
