Sweet! Really cool!

In fact, Patricia was ok - not nearly as annoying as the Two Stooges from Rally Point.

And the game menu and campaign map teasers were fascinating.

Thanks for sharing mate i liked this video, it seems that i will really enjoy the campaign map. Also the edicts are going to make things more interseting i beleive.

Love that each faction now has an internal politics system. This was one of the biggest failings of the original RTW as while it made Rome feel special and everything else felt like a second rate faction. Great touch.

I do not like the look of the campaign map. It's very pretty but it feels cramped somehow. Hard to put my finger on it. Won't know until I tried.

Yes, from what I've read there are also cultural influences that allow to "capture" regions and such. This is definitely a huge step forward by CA ^^

Another thing i noticed is the culture grouos are being represented under different tabs. So we got one for rome, carthage, succesors, eastern kingdoms etc. It my understanding that each culture pack dlc will add a new group tab witharound three factions. What i dont understand is that why would germanic, gaulic and briton tribes would need individual tabs? We have only a singlw tribe from each group dont we? Also i remember reading that the different tribes under each culture will have identical units. So does these seperate groupings means that we will be able to unlock different tribes as we play? If Jack is around, can you please explain this?

I don't like the cliffy coasts. I don't know, they just look weird.

The mechanics seem good. It sounds like Rome II will have a lot more depth than Shogun II.

That could very well be it. Hum. I loved the soft shores of Shogun 2's map. Let's hope CA institutes a global warming system to raise the sea levels on the campaign map.
