just seen my first glance at rome tw
looks awesome with quite a few changes by the looks of it
20 odd units per faction including elephants,chariots and the use of fire as a weapon....hehe grins as he hurls burning pigs at the war elephants (always feed ya troops b4 going to battle)
fullsize cities with street battles http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif units can be garrisoned inside buildings for ambushes but beware buildings will burn now so it could end up as a barbecue to end all barbecues
sappers can undermine city walls or give your men ladders to try and scale em
seasons are back and time effects ..if the battle goes too long it gets dark, i presume this means night attacks can be used, wonder if this will give any attack bonuses?
to me this is the most innovative and exciting.... the map is no longer linear with the usual prov hopping, any part can be zoomed in on to survey the battlefield...meaning forts etc can be built at strategic locations, mountain passes and the like http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif, rivers are also fordable... hopefully will give the game a whole new strategic edge
new diplomatic settings including demanding tribute/territory from weaker foes, ability to move thru allies territory
well i think thats a most of the key points.......i cant wait this sounds like its gonna be the best yet, pass me another tissue to wipe the drool from my mouth please http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
