Since there has been alot of complaints towards BI(myself included), i think it would be a nice change just posting good things. Post here just the things your are looking foward too and please no complaints.
I pesonally am looking foward too-
-new horde feature
-faction civil wars resulting in new factions
-Hopefully improved AI
-more modding freedom
- 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 !!!
"It was once a dream that was Rome....You could only whisper it..."
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.
AI improvement
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.
- i will aly as many factions as i can, with me (western empire)...and start a mighty crusade against the huns from the beginning
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.
I'm looking forward to smashing those christians and restoring the old religions to prosperity. :thumbsup:
You will be pleased to know that they are back. WE thought they were useful to. We just didnt get time to put them in RTW. :bow:Quote:

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:
Something nobody has mentioned yet:
Playing the original campaign with all those brand new features!
EDIT: Oh, and welcome to the org impar! ~:cheers:
Greetings!
Thanks, Silver Rusher!
Have been lurking for some months. ~;)
Pls Pls Pls add this diplomatic option:
"Move your ass out of my lands !!!"
I am tired of this "allies" which do a weekend trip to my countries.
yeahhhh,
Now there's something I'm happy to hear about!Quote:

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

.......Orda
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.
An anusload of new heads to chop off.Quote:

As weird as it sounds, I'll be one happy camper if the AI can kick my ass.
