Rome II : Total War

[Airlick]

Can anyone verify where / when it will be available and how much it will cost?

It will obviously be available at release, but only preorderers will get it for free. It will probably cost around 10$, like any other TW DLCs.

I don't have a very clear memory of the Shogun 2 launch, but wasn't there a bit of a wait before you could buy the Hattori as dlc?

So yes. It will be possible to get the greek states culture pack even if you didn't preorder, and it will be available on day one.

My guess is that you can buy it from here http://store.steampowered.com/app/212301/

New battle video.

I was worried when his flank failed, and I guess he couldn't recover.

I need this game pretty much now.

New battle video.

one question about that video, when he is deploying his army, how come he can see the opponent's army? shouldn't they be hidden until battle begins??

also, im not a fan of the unit cards.

If I remember correctly, defending armies can see the deployment of the attacking army and respond, except in the case of an ambush. I could be wrong about that.

I'm not particularly fond of the "classical vase art" style either for the unit card, but eh.

not sure how i feel about that, have to see how it works out in game before i make a judgement on it.

Rome 2 owners will get "privileged access" to ARENA.

If you buy Total War: ROME II, you will also receive privileged access to Total War: ARENA content; including advanced beta access, in-game Legion Armoury bonuses and approximately $15(USD) of in-game currency.*

I know I have preordered Shogun 2 and didn't get this DLC, so I'm pretty sure it simply wasn't included. Maybe it came some time after the release, which is not the case with Greek Cities, so I don't know why there should be any wait. But I can't be certain.

Isn't that the upcoming mobile game? Nothing I saw about that interested me then and I've heard nothing since to change my mind.

That video looks great. I was disappointed with shogun but it looks like they're taking the game in the right direction this time

Shogun 2 was a huge return to form after Empire and Napoleon.

One step forward after three steps back isn't that impressive.

Indeed, I was amazed myself, it really seemed like the AI is actually thinking. Obviously there was also the fact that the player made a few massive mistakes and was outnumbered to begin with, but yeah, AI behaved really well for a Total War game's AI.

[Eyechewer]

Play on hardest AI. Man up.

Go pro or go home

[SirRobin]

The AI's behavior caught my attention, so I took a closer look at it.

Besides turning generals into buff bots? Not seeing a whole lot of difference between S2 and R2.
