Total War: Rome 2 |OT| I Came, I Saw, I Came

Y'all ever get that surreal feeling that a game is coming out you think you've been waiting an age for?


YO THAT'S ME RIGHT NOW

ALEA IACTA EST
 
Nice OT! I'm super excited for this game. Just finished building my new PC today in anticipation of this game, and I've booked Tuesday off work. This train is ready to go!
 
Finally. My life will end come this Thursday. My GF doesn't have class that day so she figured she could play Sims 3 all day haha :p
 
So excited. Hope my computer can run it.

You can be Spartans?? Fuuuuck yeah. Day 1.

as if it wasn't day 1 already

Camels know the score.
 
I'm hoping the army limit means no more excessive uprisings. That seemed like a cheap and annoying way to keep your armies occupied.
 
Just bought a new PC just to be able to run this, super hyped. Shogun 2 co-op campaign was a lot of fun, and really looking forward to repeating that here. Buddy will play Sparta, and I'll be Carthage. We'll burn Rome and Greece and everything else in the way!
 
Fantastic OT. I'm a little concerned with the change to single year per turn instead of seasons. Does that mean no more winter battle in the European provinces?

At any rate, I'm excited.

Senatus Populusque Romanus
 
Everyone: Rome
TW Center: Complaining about the lack of Poland

Haha didnt you learn from your Splinter Cell mistakes? Never go to the official forums, all they do is complain!

I feel like it's wrong not to be Rome your first play through.
 
I really want to pick this up but I just suck so much at TW games. Currently trying to learn the ropes of Shogun 2, but I always get my ass kicked during the battles.

TWC is actually not the official forums.

Doesn't mean it isn't completely shitty though.
 
does the game have an Illyrian faction?

Not yet, but another DLC was announced with an Illyrian faction in it

Also: the only reason I havent bought it (and I am the biggest TW fan) is because of the fact that I dont want to play on lowest settings. That really bothered me in Shogun 2, plus the loading times were ridiculous.
 
R-Rome 2? Consul-san!! It's not like I w-wanted a life or anything!!!
 
What is everyone going to play as for your first campaign?

Athens or Epirus.

I can't believe it's already been 9 years since RTW came out. I can still remember being mesmerised by the crapload of trailers they released, it was such a huge graphical improvement over MTW. I can't fucking wait for this game.

heh MTW to RTW1 the beginning of the simplification of the series.

I luved/and miss the way in MTW the board game sounds when you dragged and dropped titles on your leaders/generals.
 
Oh, great! Thanks for the reminder, starting the preload now.

Oh, Jupiter! When will I have time for this? Or should I quit life for a while?
 
Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait.

Probably plain old Rome for the first playthrough but there are a lot of other factions that I want to play...

[edit] btw. cudos to CA/Sega to do a global simultanious release. I hate when I have to wait 3 more days only because I'm european!
 
Think I'll play as Sparta, the devs have said they have one of the hardest starts and I like a challenge.
 
The game looks stunning. Might have to get it on my bros PC and just play it when I can. I loved the first game.
 
I bought a new pc mainly for this game. Never been as excited for a game. It'll probably ruin what little social life I have, but hey I'll have a whole bunch of subjects keep me company. I'll start as the julii faction since they are god damn awesome.

What kind of PC did you get? Im looking to upgrade, but I dont have a lot of cash to spare. I already posted in the new PC thread, but different options can't hurt
