First Campaign Footage

[Lemur]

First campaign footage from Rezzed. (Jump to 11:00 for the good stuff. No idea why the video begins with approx 11 minutes of dead air).

I do like the campaign map and how things are organized.

[B-Wing]

Agreed. Stopped at the beginning of the battle demo, but liked most everything so far. Wonder if non-Roman factions will have something like Rome's competing family dynamic.

[Husar]

I wonder whether I'm getting old.

I liked the campaign stuff even though it didn't look very special.

But noone told me that we now get Ballistae that are larger and heavier than ships and look more like something I'd expect in their Warhammer games...

I was quite fond of the small ones that threw really big arrows in the original Rome, but now they seem to have been replaced by something far bigger than trebuchets that throws huge bombs and looks scarier and works better than any of the cannons Napoleon ever fielded. What's up with that?

XD I like how he had the balls of fire crush his own chariots.

you have them in different sizes, the accuracy, i guess is up for debate :P it seems like the things in the game were more like big catapults tho, rather than ballistae

I also had no idea these things were so BIG.

It would appear we're getting a true remake of RTW, silliness and all. Instead of flaming pigs we get flaming balls. I suppose worse things have happened.

The map looks wonderful. Like the full view political map. Very nice. Could do without flaming balls and wacky physics though.

If I were @Gregoshi, I could make a very good pun running with this "flaming balls" theme.

Sadly, I am not Gregoshi.
