Okay enough complaints about Rome list what you like and why you want it

**gaelic cowboy** · 08-11-2004, 21:53

After careful consideration I have come to the conclusion that there is too much complaining about RTW's fantasy unit's thread after thread with the same musings about how "I may not now get rome because of these stupid romanian wizard women warriors". I want too see some good points for a change

No 1
It is the newest incarnation and I want it now I will be crucified for this but really I don't want to go back to shogun's tiny units limited tech and unit tree and laughable trade model.

No 2
The new campaign map look's so cool changing seasons volcanos erupting etc etc the idea of having to defend mountain passes bridges instead of just a few peasants in a fort is a big improvement

No 3
If reports are to be believed there is a big box of tricks included for modding if this is true then I am deffo getting it.

No 4
Are we not getting ahead of ourselves giving out about some LOTR type units when we haven't even used them yet hell it might be great craic to play with them

No 5
I hooked an addict a total war junkie and I need a new fix man

Overall, I've no doubt that R:TW will be the "bees knees". The period covered is my personal favorite and with a mod here and a mod there this one will be on my HD forever.

Agree on all counts, i think it will be simply great and one of the most playable games ever

#1: Better graphics. Yes it matters.
#2: Much, much better campaign map. Opens a whole new level of campaign map tactics.
#3: Improved diplomacy.
#4: Can play Carthaginians (always had a something for them coming from Lebanon=Phoenicia=Carthage's mother country).
#5: Playing as Romans, the showdown with the senate (i.e big bad battle) happens at the end. In MTW, getting to the winning screen means tediously cleaning up the map after you control 50% or so.
#6: Something new to try.

The game looks great, and I love the new battle map.

1. Everything's 3D
2. The new campaign map looks awesome
3. The fact that battle-maps accurately represent where the two opposing armies meet (like we saw in the 16 minute video)
4. Everything's 3D (again)
5. Advanced diplomacy
6. Dumping of the one-province-a-turn system of movement
7. Everything's 3D (again again)
8. I get to play as the Celts (once I've unlocked them

)

1.- Cities sieges ... they open a new world in the tactical map
2.- strategic and tactical map are the same, new kind of missions can be done.
3.- Again the tactical an strategic map are the same, so you can choose the terrain where the battle will come so you can take advantage.

4.- Diplomacy ... this is one of the best improvements.
5.- best AI, well this is a hope ~:p

I agree the game, in particular SP, does look to have tremendous scope. I loved the seasonal change to the strategy map. Terrain reproduced in the battle map is great and many other things SP related that have been mentioned already, apart from 'locked' factions ( that's crap IMO )

What can I say about MP???
Not a lot been added here it would seem

In Single Play the game will rock, no doubt about that.
In Multi Play.......
