Here's a scan of the RTW preview that appeared in the UK's best games magazine, PCZone.

I'll have to take the image down if they ask me too but I though those of you living outside it's distribution area would like a look. Those of you who can get it should press the back button now, and go and buy a copy.

Quality isn't excellent as I was trying to make it small but still readable.

Which is why I didn't scan half of them. The words are new though, which is the interesting bit.

The more simple concept of online players joining a faction instead of becoming a faction is something Kraellin has talked about way in the past. Sounds like someone has been reading from the Org. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

I especially like the feature of moving units into roughly the same area and they organize by themselves. Sounds like controlling and micromanaging your army will be simplified too(I never like it online when I accidently clicked the mouse while my army was selected, turning my beautiful formation into spagetti as my opponent is charging me.)

ai gens that take care of part of your forces might relle help in large battles now that its 20 units rather than 16. Hopefully they wont just blindly order my precious forces into battle, i would prefer for them to just take care of say the archers r something. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/rolleyes.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/santa.gif

If it is true, they must have a much better AI. Or else how will they implement it? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

Hopefully exactly that way - with a much better AI
