You did not just editorialise 'organised' with square brackets! That is unnatural!

50+ factions?! Who knows...they may just make this ok.

50+ factions?! Who knows...they may just make this ok.

Probably because the lack of a slave faction. Hence they will present the peoples with minor factions or something like that, I assume.

[Arjos]

Probably we'll have rebel "factional armies" for each region, just like from ETW onwards and should they succeed, it will result in the emergence of a minor faction...

But 50 playable factions (or at least the desire to make them) is great news, hopefully they will manage to give each cultural group, a proper depiction...

Also from that article: generals will be able to hide.

Totally believable. Shogun 2 modeled every minor clan of the japanese islands even the non-playables incredibly well. All told there were 20+ factions just on the Japanese islands without even counting the pirate faction, rebel faction and the off-map trade factions (european powers). Rise of the Samurai was even MORE ridiculous. Just about every province had a unique faction for it.

The German preview from gamersglobal.de also says that all factions will get their own internal policy system just as the Romans. Especially mentioned are feuds between different tribes of barbarian factions and intrigues at eastern courts.


Two other features CA is thinking about from the preview that sound quite nice:

-Roads will be build between the new sub regions of each province and not automatically run to the border pointing to the next provincial capital. Thus it is possible to connect border provinces only to your own Empire but not to your enemy.
- The player can choose basic stances for armies on the campaign map. Mentioned are forced marsh, ambush or defensive with appropriate advantages and penalties.

Cheers cunctator for those traductions, very nice news, especially the roads ^^

hi guys i have question regarding the general speeches. in the starting post it is stated there will be no general speeches pre battle but ingame cutscenes. can anyone still confirm this. there is a idea thread for pre battle speeches in forums.totalwar.com and it seems people and the mods there are not aware from that. they were suprised when i linked to our collection and this special statement.

Looking forward to see Gaius Julius Caesar appearing in the game at his right time, meaning in game birth date should be accurate to his real birth date.
