Faction preview 1 - ROME

[Barkhorn1x]

Furthermore, the player will choose to conduct the affairs of Rome as the head of one of three great Roman houses: The Julia, The Cornelia, and the Junia, each of which bring further economic, military and cultural benefits.

The Scipii and the Bruttii object!!!

[Arjos]

Cornelii Scipii and Junii Bruti :P

Nomen followed by cognomen, they are correct in calling the Houses, by the nomen...
Branches simply took a specific cognomen...

Basically they are all in the game ^^

I sure hope that map is not supposed to be representative of the actual map.
Beneventum not Capua???
Lilybaeum as sole capital of Sicily???
Consentia?
Brundisium?
Maybe makes sense in later Empire period but not in the time of Rome rising to dominance that Rome:TW is supposed to represent.

It definitly looks like a province map, you have the larger provinces, such as Italia and Macedonia, divided into smaller sub-provinces as was promised.

There are less provinces in Italy, but seeing as Rome is no longer divided into multiple factions it doesn't need as many provinces. Have they announced how many provinces there are meant to be?

"Scipii" is not a word...

[Arjos]

Yes, Scipiones is the correct one, pardon :P

[Barkhorn1x]

Tell it to CA.

I stands corrected.

[Brennus]

Well its already stumbling on the accuracy front (not that I'm petty or anything :p). The Colosseum is Flavian in date and the Pantheon is Hadrianic, neither existed in the 3rd century BC.

[Velho]

Or the game continues to that era? We may never know ^^

It may do, but those uniforms and helmets are 3rd-1st century BC.
