- to see how much powerful the huns will be
- to see that is realy true that will be a intro movie for every single faction
- the new units special powers
- to see the religion importance
- to conquer the world all over again with the western romans including conquering and destroying the huns !!!

I'm fairly new to the game, and I don't feel like I've explored enough of RTW to get super-excited about the expansion pack. There are still a lot of factions I haven't tried playing yet. So normally I wouldn't jump right on the exansion pack.... unless.... they manage to improve the battle AI. That's the one thing that would get me whipping out the credit card right away. It would be nice to see the AI treat its army like a cohesive whole, instead of the disjointed "every unit for himself" feel of the current AI. So that's what I'm looking forward to, if they can pull it off (and I know AI programming isn't easy).
Okay, I guess I'm also curious about what the night battles will look like. I wasn't happy to hear about that feature at first. I play the game in the daytime sometimes in a brightly lit room, and I don't enjoy games that are too dark on my monitor to see anything. But the screen shots look pretty nice so far. Hopefully they've found a way to make things visible without losing the feel of night time completely.

-Having nice challenging battles without forcing the AI to get attack and morale bonuses (Playing on VH, in other words)
-Night battles in the campaign game
-New units, and new tactics that have to go along with them
-New factions, naturally
-To conquer the world, of course! :charge:
-Seeing the return of loyalty(I hope it will work)
-How much the AI has improved
-The new features
-The mods that will come after it(such as NTW 2)

AI improvement
Many bug fixes
The rest are peripheral to these core issues needing to be addressed
Well I look forward to more challenging gameplay (loadgame and battle difficulty bugs fixes).
As well as to some features of expansion, like hordes, loyalty, Slavs as faction...
I look forward to:
- Religion and to be able to convert to whatever religion...
- Loyalty / Civil Wars
- The new factions and units.
- Replaying the old campaign with the new features.

Loyalty, and by extension Civil Wars
Bug-fixes

Civil wars sound like they could be good, as long as they're not used like MTWs factions reappearing. That is to say, as a cheap trick to prolong a campaign.
Greetings!
I hope for the return of the fatigue icon on the unit card.

Thinking about it, the info when moving the cursor over a unit in MTW was useful. Like "worried about flanks" or "pleased to hold the high ground" kind of things.

Muster all the help you can because you will need it ~;)
The loyalty, civil wars, and emerging factions. This is what comes to mind when I think of Roman politics, and hey it might even be fun having an upstart general trying to take the throne from my iron grasp ~:) . Besides that using diplomacy to set those barbarians against each other and re uniting rome under my rule and restoring the empire to its former glory.

Oh man, upon seeing this thread, that was one of the first things that came to mind about what I missed from M:TW, I was just about to post it right after reading the thread. Any chance we can have alliances forged/strengthened by marriage between the 2 factions?
Anyway I'm really looking forward to civil wars, new faction emergence, and improved AI. If you guys can pull off a better battle AI you'll have my money.

Wow. I really need to play the other TWs. I came in because I am such a fan of classical history. The ability to tell what the units are concerned about would be helpful in order to direct attacks, though, it does remove the feeling of not knowing.
I am looking forward to being able to reinstitute the old religions and see the Eastern Roman Empire implement cataphracts and/or other cavalry units. :grin:

You got that right. I am tired of those Thracian bastards strolling through my Macedonian lands without my permission.

that is good news. Not so much because I need those messages, but because it assures me those morale-affecting situations are still in the game. I was having the feeling morale was a lot simpler (read: less realistic) then it was in MTW.

Yes that is a bit of a pain ( and a liberty ) but I am almost sure that military access is one of the terms when you agree to an allegiance. I could be wrong but in any case just because you are my ally does not mean I want your soldiers wandering through my provinces without so much as a by your leave

Military access can be part of an alliance agreement but usually isn't because the AI doesn't enjoy you having your armies freely march about. It is probably because they are attempting to sack the Dacian captial, or get to a rebel province.

What do you look foward to in BI?
An anusload of new heads to chop off.
Honestly, my only hope is that they smash the annoying little bugs/glitches and, most importantly, they increase the difficulty of the game... whether through bug fixes and/or AI tweaks, etc. IMO, RTW is superior in every respect to MTW with the glarring exception of shoddy tactical and strategic AI -- unfortunately, those happen to be _the_ core elements of the game. As weird as it sounds, I'll be one happy camper if the AI can kick my ass.
