[Cameron122]

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

 

[KorrZ]

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!

 

[lordkosc]

I am so ready for this, I have even been watching HBOs ROME to increase my overwhelming 'do wants'.

 

[Pinktaco]

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

 

[isual]

THIS IS IT SONS !

FOORRRR THEEE EMEPRRORRRRRRR

 

[Gaz_RB]

So excited. Hope my computer can run it.

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

Spoiler

as if it wasn't day 1 already

 

[Alex Connolly]

Camels know the score.

 

[lastplayed]

So excited. Hope my computer can run it.

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

Spoiler

Fuck yeah.

 

[Jibbajabbawockky]

Can't wait for this. Upgraded my computer a couple months ago just for this game. Got it all preloaded and good to go for Tuesday.

 

[vazel]

I'm hoping the army limit means no more excessive uprisings. That seemed like a cheap and annoying way to keep your armies occupied.

 

[Llyranor]

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!

 

[Nikodemos]

ANERRIPHTO KUBOS

Fixed.

 

[Veritas_]

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

 

[Legato.Reborn-]

What is everyone going to play as for your first campaign?

 

[-tetsuo-]

YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[Sober]

What is everyone going to play as for your first campaign?

Everyone: Rome
TW Center: Complaining about the lack of Poland

 

[truestatic]

Everyone: Rome

But which family?

Julii all the way.

 

[Cameron122]

Fixed.

Wikipedia has failed the empire

Pinned to a crux by daybreak

 

[Nikodemos]

No Sarmatae? No Dahai (Dacians)? To be announced as DLC?

 

[Gaz_RB]

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.

 

[mercenar1e]

What is everyone going to play as for your first campaign?

Sparta

 

[ndawgdrake]

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.

 

[Ysiadmihi]

So hyped!

 

[Sober]

TWC is actually not the official forums.

Doesn't mean it isn't completely shitty though.

 

[Gaz_RB]

Oh I didn't realize that. I swung in and then I swung right back out. Still not as bad as gtaforums.com.

 

[Cystm]

Well done with that Thread title. Nice OP too.

 

[Martian]

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.

 

[Ichinii]

Cannot believe the wait is almost over. It has been too long.

 

[EatChildren]

R-Rome 2? Consul-san!! It's not like I w-wanted a life or anything!!!

 

[LiquidSolid]

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.

 

[EAJAPAN]

I'm so excited for this game that I'm making my 3rd post on GAF since 2008.

Thirteen!!

 

[Lingitiz]

What is everyone going to play as for your first campaign?

Think I might go with Sparta. Can't resist total infantry domination for my first playthrough.

 

[Legato.Reborn-]

Athens or Epirus.

9 years? oh god I just played it yesterday

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.

 

[KingSnake]

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?

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

This game is all about the Romans baby!

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

Preloaded and ready.

Edit: ah, I can still remember the good old times when Creative Assembly had given the Λ banner to the Macedonian faction.

 

[King Tubby]

What is everyone going to play as for your first campaign?

Pontus! I like Pontus. No I am not being ironic.

 

[Lach]

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!

 

[Madridy]

My favorite strategy franchise, and it looks better than ever!

 

[CCS]

Think I'll play as Sparta, the devs have said they have one of the hardest starts and I like a challenge.

 

[Atraveller]

It's finally up, thank you OP!

 

[dc89]

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.

 

[bamboobimbo]

PC game of the year, this is gonna be glorious!

 

[Sibylus]

Pontus! I like Pontus. No I am not being ironic.

Pontus had a stable of Mithridates. Who doesn't like Pontus?

 

[tmespe]

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.

 

[diggmcbadass]

Too bad I can't return to glory as ruthless Brutii. Guess I will just have to burn them all as Carthage instead.

 

[teepo]

goodbye social life

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
