I personally would like to have the throne room aspect again. I like having emissaries coming to me asking for a ceasefire because I am ravaging there lands. I would also like to have the ability to behead emissaries also.

Well just curious as to what the vets think since they know how the throne room worked in STW.

I liked it alot. It made it feel more like i was actually commanding a nation.

Also- Something i really missed from medieval was event animations. I would really like to see some of those in rome (even if they do get repetitive - possibly an on/off?)

yes, i would love to see the throne room, with even more options, and event animations returned to the game. I felt they really added alot of color and flavor to Shogun.

Yes a Throne Room or Command Tent would be nice... It was repetative but a nice touch.

i agree, and even if it means making the game on more CD's. Hell, release a DVD version even and ad all those cool movies again

I'd love to see the throne room changes as the game progress. Some other turn based games have this feature which pretty much illustrates the might of our empire.

For instance at the beginning, the throne room may look more like a shack with and old rag covering its floor. Then later on the shack transformed into a gold plated throne room and filled with the unique plunders from other nations.

That does sound like a good idea. If it meant waiting maybe another month...then it wouldn't really matter, it would add more to the game imo. I would also like the ability to behead emissaries.

I loved the animations. I really miss them. The failed ninja assignation on a Mongol general was hilarious. I laughed every time. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/joker.gif

Indeed, the throne room ... ah, beautifull ...

Seriously, that was a very good thing in STW ... Have you noticed how "refined" looks STW when compared to MTW? All that rush (well, not quite, but anyway) made MTW a more tactical game, but lost the air of the age ... It's like taking the story from history ... where's the fun in bringing down the HRE, if I feel so alone in the game and don't even see someone who tells me how great I am (or the other things the advisor said in TW, not always pleasant) ...

I really hope to see a throne room and lots of cinematics ...

throne room and glorious achievement movies are a must

Throne Room that improves over time as the size and might of the empire increases, and an overall Statistics Scroll that shows battles won/lost, men killed/lost, florins earned, alliances made/broken, etc...

Hey, I'd love to see the throne room, the statistics also, but improving over time ... sounds like CIV to me ...

I say that transforming it into a tent when in campaign is quite enough ...

Yeah I really loved the throne room in STW.. and also in CIV.. it really added that extra touch to the game.. THe movies were really good aswell.. I was disappointed to find that MTW didnt have them http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/frown.gif I think it might have even reduced the time i was interested in the campaign..

throne room, beheadings, slaves in background, etc. want want want

Plus a history system is sorelyneeded in the TW games now.

They were nice, but not haveing them would in no way change my attitude to the game. They really are merely decorative.

really? I thought they added great flair and realism to the game. MTW would have benefited from them, I hope animations, throne room, advisors etc are returned to RTW. The Throne Room also gave you a full map of Japan, so you could see exactly who owned what province. I found that quite useful.

Can you imagine trying to make any sense of a map of Europe brought down to that scale? Trying to make heads or tails of the French/German provinces would be a nightmare http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

But yes, they were very nice, and a great feature of the game, but not entirely necessary. Not having them would not stop me buying the game.

Yeah the throne room that upgrades as you progress would be nice (oh and maybe have the heads of kings you've killed on the walls http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/joker.gif ). Also maybe a rating at the end of the game a la Civilization.

THrone room and movies are a must

Oh and how about movies for vices and virtues????? Maybe in a patch?? Please??????

yes a throne room and lots of animations. that's what kept STW a bit interesting with the adviser quotes. Also the ninja assassinations those were and still are very good. One of the things that disapointed me in MTW were the lack of this features. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif

I would be willing to wait another 3 months for these because it would make the game from being ok to being GREAT.

Yes indeed it would boost the ranking for the game. But instead of a throne room what about a senate or a private council? hmmm would like to have the advices of the senators but also in the campaigns a tent where generals were called to discuss the plans for the battles. would be nice hehehe.

When I'm sitting on my "throne", I don't want no company. Can't a guy get a little privacy around here. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

I didn't think that it was the end of the world when it was not included in MTW, but I'd rather have one, especially if it would be possible to have some of the additions that were mentioned by others above - defeating the enemy is only worth if if there is a reminder that you have done so.
On a similar note, who would not relish the chance to see Joan d'Arc burnt at the stake in a nice FMV curtesy of the inquisition? I am sure that they could find siilar occasions in RTW to utilise FMV to the extent that they did in STW.
