I love how we always find out about their next game from some obscure game mag.

Troops block and parry attack moves and string together deadly combo attacks and finishing moves before scanning the battlefield for their next kill.

They still don't get it.

I will admit it has some promising features listed.

P.S. This probably isn't the right spot.

That's beautiful, let's hope the marketing department doesn't fuck it up.

I acknowledge the profanity and apologise, I was just deeply unimpressed by RTW, don't want to see it happen again.

Man, that would be sweet if its true. I would prefer Shogun 2. Does anyone know if there is STW mod with the RTW look?

Is this a strategy game or StreetFighter?

I really hope this game is good though. I loved MTW and would like to see an updated remake that doesnt ruin the combat that made the original so great.

LOL, they'll probably have Merlin and the Lady of the Lake. Looks promising, but we'll see. I can only imagine the system requirements.:furious3:

OH MY OH MY OH MY LORD ! DREAMS COME TRUE ! THAT'S A MEDIEVAL ! THE LEGEND IS BEING REMADE !

I think I can die.. At last my dreams come true. My first serious thread in the Entrance Hall was about the idea of Medieval:TW being remade. I KNEW THEY WERE HERE WATCHING US ! YEAAAAAAH !!!

I FEEL LIKE CAP(S)PAMMING ! I CAN EVEN ACCEPT A WARNING FOR THAT ! BUT HEY THAT'S A NEW MEDIEVAL : TOTAL WAR ! WHAT CAN BE ANY BETTER !

There are some other pics where you can see reflections in the shiney armour!!! I hope the gameplay is as good as the graphics.

DevDave, this is Medieval, it's why you can still play it though Rome with brand new graphics engine is released.. MTW means atmosphere..

Please limit discussions about MTW 2 to the stickied thread in the Entrance Hall (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=59982&page=2)

I don't think we should spread out information that might potentially intereting for everyone in multiple threads across various sub-forums.

Thanks

i see lots of improvements graphic wise in the ad, and lots of tactical stuff per individual unit, but nothing at all about strategic improvements other than you could go fight the aztecs on the main map. so its probably going to be excellent in the squad based element but mediocre in the strategic. which is fine i guess, cuz thats where the money is, but it's not for me.
