Personally, I'd like a Rome II, though I know it's not going to happen.
Surprisingly NTW seems less demanding on your hardware than ETW was.

It is much richer in eye candy and detail then ETW but they seem to have done a good job of optimizing it.

The BAI is improved. Don't fight your battles like you did in ETW, it will surprise you.

One battle the Enemy went on line outside musket range like normal but then concentrated suddenly on the right flank. When it saw that reserves were rushed there at the expense of other parts of the line it used a cavalry charge on the weakened left flank an its reserve units to envelope.

It can keep you on your toes.

It does have the trade spots but it is not world wide as ETW was. The game mechanics are where ETW should have been. Then we wouldn’t be harping about missed potential.

As to Rome 2...I would lay odds it will move in that direction.
