don´t know if you already have seen some of them, but i think most of them are new.

On some you can see the victory conditions of the factions and on another you can see the new loyality feature in the character details.

When you go through the pages (you must click on "Weitere Bilder") then you see also pics from the strategic map. So iam very sure the pics are not from the demo.

No, they are full game screens.

BI is really gonna rule the world. I'm glad that I chose to make the Byzantium Total War for BI. ~D

Now, who votes for BI, the king game of the world?! ~D

There's a attribute for the generals, loyalty. Also I noticed some kind of priests on the battlefield. They had crosses.

Yeah, it's looking good! It's great to see the loyalty setting back again. Interstingly represented by rings... hmmm... SEGA... rings... It's a conspiracy I tells ya! ~;)




Yes, I know MTW had loyalty 'rings' as well, but where's the fun in that? ~D

Awesome! Especially, so many new campaign map screenshots. Thank you so much.

September is going to be a long month to have to wait to play BI, which will, I'm more certain than ever, be a fantastic addition to the already brilliant RTW, whether you ultimately like either vanilla flavour, or a different flavour.

The campaign map certainly does look interesting. I think I am looking forward to this release more than any of the previous ones. The SP campaign looks like it is going to offer loads of options

Yes teh campaing map does look far more balanced now. It is going to be hard to be te Western Empire I think. Those barbarians will jsut keep coming until you are ripped apart.

But I wonder who the green Romans are... I mean the West is red and the East is purple. Perhaps it is the Britons? Or a civil war (yea for that return)?

I believe there are two rebel roman factions, an eastern and western. So i think the green must be that.

Yeah... I looked at the Gamespot interview and noticed that. That does sound promising. Who can forge the good old rebellions of the Byzantine Empire in MTW? It was a tough nut to crack.

Green romans are Western Roman Rebels.
They appear when WR provinces rebel.

Some interesting screens there, though alot of things that has been shown before.

maybe civil wars will be re-introduced in BI, since the new loyalty attribute is there as well. Would seem logical to me.

Civil Wars are back in BI, just read the BI mini-site:


Rebellions - can now flare up into full-fledged civil wars. Your generals can decide that they would make better kings or emperors than the current rulers and take matters into their own hands!
