[Oleander Ardens]

Nice ideed..

[Mr Durian]

If you look very carefully you can see a ferry route on the english channel between two ports. Very interesting.

[Shahed]

The Roman Chunnel http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-stunned.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-jester.gif

[Barkhorn1x]

OMG Where to begin;
The camp. map kicks *ss - about 5 times better than we've seen to date - wish I knew what all the icons mean.

Notice the "bronze" helmets on the Legionaries in the first shot - no crests - and the detail is great

Love the heads hanging off of those Gauls in the 4th shot

That 5th shot is awesome in it's panoramic beauty.

Still hate the flags tho' http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/tongue.gif

Barkhorn.

[RZST]

the campaign map looks shweet. although what still bugs me is the overall size of the territories :(

lmao, 3rd shot with the elephant. that looks funny

4th+5th shot, man these shots remind me to LoTR...cant wait for a LoTR mod :)

[Scipio]

Anybody notice that their is no seperate faction for the Celts http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/angry.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/angry.gif on the mini map it is all blue for France and Britain....They might have been conquered but I highly doubt that, does anybody know if CA have already said "no celts"? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

Oh and btw, very nice sig and avatar pic Ky http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif

[The_Emperor]

The Celts will be in.

CA have already announced that the Brits and Gauls and Germanians will be seperate playable factions.

That should be cool if you feel the urge to go 'Barbaric'.

My guess is that that screenshot was taken after someone conquered that region.

[Galestrum]

yeah dont worry about it, i think people freak too much at the slightest http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/tongue.gif

look at the date in the screen 234 bc, thats 30 years after start of gameplay IF it starts in 264 bc (1st punic) and they have recently been hinting at a 300 bc start date, furthermore these screens are made in order to make us dolts go "CA is l33t must buy game" http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

campmap looks impressive and the graphics in the latest RTW trailer have really impressed me - all i can hope for is that the strategic and tactical AI have been improved and diplomacy, if they are equally advanced this could be the greatest game of all time http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smokin.gif

[The Wizard]

Well, I know I'll be a terrible ruler - I'm gonna be busy with war, and war alone, watching the newest trailer I'm not gonna wait, to war immediately http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[shingenmitch2]

HOLY CRAP http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-surprised.gif

Their heads turn as they move And I think I detected reflections in the silver of the helmets

Absolutely insane... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-stunned.gif

CA you guys are entirely out-doing yourselves.

[Barkhorn1x]

I am staring at the Campaign Map shot - I have stared for 1/2 hour or more. I see - or think I do;

- Upper Left Hand corner
* Face of Barbarian advisor
* X = go away
* Comic blurb w/ red X = don't interfer unless I ask.
* Pointer to "somthing" = tell me about this
* Magnifying Glass = tell me more about this

- Lower Left Hand corner
* Cogs = Tech Level??
* Handshake = Diplomacy model
* Coins = Economy model
* Map of world - of course
* Big Circle w/ two guys and a "something" = population??
* Big Circle w/ three armed guys = army locations?

- Middle Area
* Tab 1 = Troop Queue??
* Tab 2 = Construction Queue - duh
* Tab 3 = Faction/Political Status??
* Tab 4 = Naval Queue??

- Lower Right Hand corner
* Big upper circle = City/Province selected
* Lower Left circle = Faction symbol
* Money on hand
* Year in BC terms
* Sun = ??
* Hourglass = ??

- City scroll, circles on left side (all else is pretty much typical Total War stuff)
* Scroll = more info.??
* Legionary = Troop Training options
* Compass "thingy" = tech. options??
* Hammer & board = Construction options (selected)
* Victoria = well...Victoria
* Magnifying Glass over "something" = tell me more about ??
* Magnifying Glass = tell me more about ??

What do you all think?

Barkhorn.

[Sir Robin]

Argh

Doesn't want to load.

Argh

What else am I supposed to do here?

I can't ruin my reputation by actually working

[The Wizard]

Another note from the campaign map shot: the map exludes Caledonia... :\

[alman9898]

so CA decided to include the fog of war http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif the campmap looks soooo awesome. *overjoyed*

[Monk]

OMG... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/eek.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-surprised.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-speechless.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-stunned.gif

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

Quote[/b] ]* Big Circle w/ two guys and a "something" = population??

I think-

Big circle with wo guys with saw=Build queue

Big circle with three armed guys=Unit queue

[Barkhorn1x]

OK - I'm with you. But why have the Big Circles on the Left and then have the Tabs in the middle??

Must be missing something.

Barkhorn.

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

I think the tabs are to do with info on the city you have selected, and they've just kept the queues on the left, like the previous games.

[DemonArchangel]

JEEEEEEEEEEEESUS CHRIST *drools*

[Nigel]

I have been very critical of the campaign map in the past (resp. godzillaresque look of giant army icons).

Well, I still am, but have to say that the picture which shows the map from a distance looks very nice.

Would be interesting to see some more pictures at different zoom levels.

Nigel

P.S.
the recent pictures from the battle scenes look fantastic http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-2thumbsup.gif

Right if you look at the first of the new pics, it shoes legionaries fighting, Red VS Blue, i think Blue will be one of the Roman forces, and it conquered France(Gaul) and Britain. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/cheers.gif

And yes the barbarians have heads sprouting near their ass.Look here (http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/rometotalwar/screens.html?page=50)

Ah, I know, those are the new barbarian unit: The infamous Crazed Barbarian Head Collectors http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[The Wizard]

Those are heads collected by the barbarians... not heads sprouting from their asses... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-no.gif

[Aymar de Bois Mauri]

I must say "WHAT FORMIDABLE GRAPHICS" http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-stunned.gif

Even the reflections in the helmets

And the strategic map is much better now

Great work, CA http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-2thumbsup.gif

[Ellesthyan]

After some counting, I have concluded that there are more then a 100 cities, with a suspiciously high concentration in Greece http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif Still the looks of the "provinces" are a bit odd in the uncivilized places..

Don't get too stressed http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wacko.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/bigthumb.gif

[ThijsP]

What is that green area around the unit on the campaign map?http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

Some sort of area which unit can defend? Would be more realalistic whith large provinces.

Did'nt your mother ever tell you that if you eat too much head soup this would happen.

[Nowake]

I just hope that info will keep coming from now on. After last years E3 was a big period of Total Silence http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-2thumbsup.gif Those screens look great.
