I don't trust BI. It's probably going to be as ahistorical and cheesy as the cherry vanilla version. Just looking at the Roman Catholic Priest is enough to make me puke. I'd rather wait for EB.
hopefully their is a BI EB, I know RTR is plainnig on doing it.Quote:

If anything, you encourage them to "rush" to max out profits before its all heisted anyway.
People who purchase and they lovingly modify games are generally good supporters, but taking without paying is a Bozo no-no.
Piracy was an issue 10 years ago as much as it is now, but still games are on average more buggier today then in those times.Quote:

I don't want to take the risk of wasting my money to buy another buggy game that's as historically inaccurate as the former. I play RTW (first the pirated, then the legal version) because I want the history and historical gameplay more than anything else. If it's buggy I can live with it, as long as it's not a bug affecting historical reality (i.e. load-save bugs, I can live with).
If they fix the A.I. and the bugs, which they seem to be at least trying to do, and they add a bunch of cool new features, (which they already are doing,) then I will buy it.
I'll fight my way to the store if I have to. Not even a persian invasion would be able to stop me.
unless said invasion comes in the form of a suicide bomber that blows you sky high while on route to the store.
I'll buy it as well.
MTW improved much after VI, am sure it will be the same with RTW and BI.
(Although I find 1.2 very enjoyable as well).
What is EB?Quote:

*weeps inconsolably...Franc, never heard of the dreamful, wonderful, historically VERY accurate, expanded-map, expanded-faction Europa Barbarorum? O dark day indeed!*
I'll buy it, thoroughly enjoy it, then come to the .org and realize how terrible of a game it really was and how much of a fool I was to think it was a good game. I plan on avoiding the .org when it comes out ;].
As I said... Nothing would stop me.Quote:

Oh well, won't stop me from spending the cash on it. Better than letting my wife go "shopping" and bringing back herself some knicknacs.
I definatly will buy BI on its day of release...there will be no stopping me. :dizzy2:

I've finally watched King Arthur and now I know where the inspiration for so many of the bizarre units in RTW came from. One thing though, the 'woads' had onagers so how come the Britons cant build em in the game?
I'm now wondering what movie will be the inspiration for BI units? Something from Harry Potter maybe.
Wrong era.Quote:

TB666 is right, it's the wrong time period. The film is set as the Romans are withdrawing from Britain (although the withdrawal actually happened about half a century before it happens in the film). This is the time period BI is set in. RTW is set several centuries earlier, in the days of the Roman Republic and early principate.
I'm looking forward to BI. Despite so many complaints about Rome being a-historical and buggy it's probably the only game (well, with the exception of M:TW) which has managed to keep my attention consistently since it's release. And that's without mentioning the multitude of exciting looking mods. The fact that many aspects are historically incorrect is unfortunate, but does the inclusion of screaming women as a unit make the underlying game with all it's strategy and planning any less good? I should think not.
I guess it wasnt clear, but my comment about the onagers was done tongue in cheek. After all, I had just seen 'King Arthur', a movie that includes Sarmatian 'knights' led by a Briton (who is a Roman officer), Guinevere who wanders around in the snow in next to nothing and who can hold a drawn bow for minutes, and genocidal Saxons armed with crossbows.Quote:
