I didn't even get barbarian lol, wait for the grand pack of all 3 to come out!
Is it even announced on their website yet? I can't find any official mention of it.
Will I buy it? Maybe. If its a tenner or under, and if it adds new gameplay features (maybe even another patch) then definately.
Can someone post a link, i aint heard anything of this yet.
Maybe a bonus on MTW2 ?? Just merchandising.
Its only been announced in a few PC magazines so far. I guess we'll just have to wait.... :book:Quote:

In the newsletter I got on the 13th of February it said:
That was nearly 2 weeks ago.Quote:
We'll be following this up with more Medieval 2 screens and information in the weeks ahead. However, later this week we have something rather special to announce. We can't give you the full details as yet but we can tell you to keep your eyes on totalwar.com this week for news of a unique new Total War release from The Creative Assembly. You heard it here first.
I would probably buy it if it was pretty cheap. But they should definatly make RTW have a mode where you can play in campaign mode, on one of Alexander's campaigns. In other words you control what battles you fight just like on the Imperial Campaign mode. But you also have missions, like "Attack the persian army under Darius in the GUAGAMELA region" Something like that. They should call it like, "Historical Campaign mode, or something.
I belive that everyone would probably buy it or download it or whatever, if there were different campaigns, like Hannibal's Alpine expedition, or the First Punic War, or Julius Caesar's, Gaulic Campaign. Trojan War? You get the picture.
What other famous wars or campaigns would people be interested in playing like this?
Xenophon
Surely Alexander's time would be boring? Just 3 main factions: Macedon, Persia and India. India and Macedon crush Persia, which has bad units and relies on cheap infantry and mercs. India owns all with elephants and Macedon is a bad attacker with phalanx mainly plus a bit of cavalry.
Very strange that no real info on this - perhaps they'll release it if enough people seem to want it? Any links or screenshots anywhere?
Total war is the most fantastic war game ive ever played(in twenty four years of gaming--oh god Im middle aged :help: --). im only 1/3 of the way thru my first campaign ive already has my monies worth out of it. Ive never tried but I imagine making a mod for it is bl**dy hard work. Its nice to get things free but you have to reward the people who put the effort in or they will stop bothering. Right now I hope to see this product supported for years to come. if you dont want to pay for expansions why not make some yourself(you can send me free copies when your done :2thumbsup: ). Take a look at the credits for the game in the options and see how many mouths there are to feed. These guys have proper quality control (which is Very Rare these days)
i've lost count of the number of games I've played that were obviously rushed out to meet deadlines and were untested, unfinished and even, in some cases, unplayable.
Rome Total War is an absolute Classic. The only way it could give you a more realistic feeling of being a great general cutting a swathe thru history is if they invented smellovision and you could smell the blood,sweat and horse poo(well they could really send me the keys to the vestial virgins too)...
Long may it reign!
I'm definitely getting it. I really enjoyed playing the BI, the Western Empire was probably my favourite campaign of all so I'm looking forward to another expansion. They are like a good cover song, they get something new out of a thing that already exists. Plus I've just started reading a book on Alexander so it should get me into the right mood for it.
All the info on it seems to be quite general. Anyone knows anything more precise?
