Action Trip today previews Rome: Total War, Creative Assembly's upcoming Roman empire RTS. They talk about what historicla events you can expect to play through, the non-linear nature of the gameplay, factions, graphics, and more details too.

Guys check the screenshots, I know we saw them before but these are twice the resolution as the old ones.

On the pic with the romans climing the ladders you can see greek archers on the walls http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

i love those screens now

[Orange]

Well, there was one shot I had not seen before. The one with te Roman army in front of the gate. You can see a gate-bashing unit (what's it in English?) and some flaming arrows flying over the walls.
Another thing, which I hope you fellows can answer for me: one moment I see every Roman soldier equipped with a helmet like a centurion, next time they have no crests and you can spot some 'leader figures' with crests, well, parallel with their shoulders so to say. Are they just different units (Praetorians and normal soldiers for example) or is CA not sure yet how to portrait the normal soldier?
Again, apologies for my English shortcomings.

[Catiline]

They're probably different units. THe guys with the transverse crests in the Roman units are their officers, the centurions.

Gate bashing unit = battering ram

[FesterShinetop]

I wonder what role centurions are gonna play in the units? They are very distinctly there, different from Medieval where all units were the same...
Did anybody read anything about that?

So they are still aiming for a 2003 release... now that would be amazing if they can pull that off http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/eek.gif
