I have to say, multiple capture points in large cities is awesome.

Sieges are going to be so much cooler, when they were already so awesome.

[pisskop]

BUUUUUUMMMMMP!

Oh, you beat me to it.

[ragnar119]

Lets hope they dont fuck up something.

It's very pretty, but I do have to wonder how they got their hands on hair gel.

The Charge of the Cross-Eyed Gauls.

You don't want to know what that hair gel is made of.

It does look very pretty. Especially the trees and hut in the background. Will be nice to stare at those in-game - here's hoping they improve the first-person camera somehow.

[Stworca]

I'm hoping they improve the battle AI, and take a lesson on how to code diplomacy from Paradox (not perfect, but at least very good).
Extra kudos points for expanding upon the first game, instead of trying to create another Shogun 2. There are many great mods for RTW that make the game superb, the task to overshadow them and lure people to R2 is not easy.
Graphic improvements don't interest me in the slightest.

For those of you talking about the hair - That's actually factually accurate - Celtic hair was washed and spiked with Lime water which bleached it and the spiking of hair was very symbolic, men were forbidden to cut or spike it until they had killed an enemy. Hope that helps guys.

Oh god... it's the last charge of the guidos.

The oerhead feature is nice however I hope it can be used to give orders

In the vid he specifically stated they don't want it to be used for orders.

[miljan]

Woo, that looks good, time for a new PC.... crap no money... well time for some old rome total war

I am glad no goat was harmed to get that hairstyle.

For Total War fanatics, GMG has preorders available for Rome 2 that activate on Steam with a 25% discount here: http://blog.playfire.com/2013/05/vouchers-worthy-of-roman-emperor.html?emst=dRxMAAyMV4_36801_101409_12

So the total price for preorder will be US$45.

I'm getting it because I'm a hardcore Total War junkie but others who are only mildly interested should probably wait until release.

[inEQUALITY]

Welp, looks like I'm going to desperately have to save up to get a new computer; the last Total War game I was able to actually run was Medieval II, and that was hardly on highest settings. I need to catch up on the newer Total War games BADLY. 

[Mech#4]

I thought this with the release of Shogun 2: Total War but the graphical detail in this series is stupidly excessive! Don't get me wrong, it makes it really, REALLY nice to look at but... geez there's more detail in a bench in a single corner of a vast battle map then there was in the entirety of DOOM. Each one of those soldiers looks like they could be the main character of a 3rd person FPS.


I am always really impressed by the Creative Assemblies abilities to optimise their engines to the degree that they do, allowing their games to be played on computers with hardware that isn't the newest stuff on the market.
