I'm being super serious.

Apparently naval combat and land combat are no longer separate

Good.. and bad. I thought the naval combat of empire & shogun2 sucked hard.

[NRDL]

ABSOLUTE FUCKING WIN.

I love Rome Total War, cannot wait for this. 

[RedKing]

Meh. I'd have preferred a more original setting, maybe ancient Greece (the Peloponnesian War or the Greco-Persian Wars) or China (although Koei's done that to death) or maybe the Castillian-Ummayyad struggles in Iberia.

I mean, is this all they're going to do is rotate between Japan->Rome->medieval Europe->Napoleonic->repeat?

[NRDL]

Probably not.  There are many periods of war, not featured yet.  A China: Total War is something I could get aboard.  But still, this is awesome!  Read the article, I like the idea about legions being more than just a collection of soldiers.  They are a unit, with their desire to outdo all the other legions, and a desire to crush all enemies.  Really makes you feel like you're in one of Caesar's commentaries. 

Hope the implementation is effective.

I just remember the original R:TW...fun game but the historical accuracy left quite a bit to be desired. Only reason I played the hell out of it was because I found the excellent Rome: Total Realism mod.

Would have prefered WW1 or something more modern I mean they made all this tech for ballistics and guns in shogun to see how it would work and now go fuck it back to swords !

I also found Rome boring as hell to be honest... I pla total war for the map and politics and agents and stuff mostly

[mainiac]

So... AI gonna be any good?  New gameplay features gonna actually work smoothly?

You mean the unrational ai that randomly declare war?
Go play europa universalis if you arent already

[scriver]

Hm... Well, a Total War game is always fun for a while... And it seems kind of cool. Following.

Also, I can totally see how the whole legion mechanic goes well with multiplayer. That would be neat as wel..
