Build cities?

[RisingSun]

This just hit me. I know that the map will be fluent, and therefore basd around cities, but will we use only cities that are there when the game starts and cities that spring up n their own at designated dates? or can we commission settlers to found new ones? Just a thought.It'd be nice if Giljay got in here.

Yes I think you will be able to create a new settlement when you have full controle over a new qonquerd terretory.
IIRC this reading somewhere, if I find the article I'll quote it.

It would be non-sense not to be able to do it, no? If, during wars, your cities would be destroyed ... erased, let's say (happened on many ocasions ... Carthage has a sad story ) http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif what will you do if not a new city?

A possible solution to that problem would be to have a scripted event wherein every time a city is wiped out, it eventually resurfaces, albeit much smaller and humbler.

Don't know.

I would like to but I have not heard any semi-official word on it.

It is possible that cities may be AI spawned only.

It boils down to how interactive and changeable the battle maps would be.

I am just waiting to see the strategic map.
