RisingSun, i took the movie from here http://www.apg88.com/other/RomeVid.avi

The new RTW system sort of reminds of the Heroes of might and magic series. There every hero or in our case an army or an agent had a distance where they could move. Then you chose to move them and could control who fights first or fights who. Then when they had no movement left you ended your turn. I think RTW works the same or atleast resembles it.

Which in it's turn made me think why can't we have a MP game, Heroes was playable online and had no problems, a similar system could be done with RTW. People say it would be time consuming....i don't know about that.

About attrition. I remember i read something about supply lines. There was a chance of cutting an army off and starving it. Though this info ain't solid, it was long ago and may not have made to the game.
