While I agree on nearly everything you said, ToranagaSama, your language is a bit harsh and that of a peasant, not that of a Lord. :) Please be not be so hard towards King Edward, seriously.

I fear that especially Rome's Roman factions will play a bit one-dimensional because it is so infantry heavy. But well, I am used to prefer CAVALRY and missile heavy battles from MTW.

The best about Rome is probably that what they funnily did not present: The Campaign system and the campaign map plus all the features tied to it.

While RTW 3D-combat seems to me more like a step backward and having some issues with speed, plus the 3D graphics are not really much better zoomed out, I think that the campaign system will really add to the series!

RTW 3D battles are for me not the real thing, as it is the heart of the game, it is a bit disappointing.

But a MTW / Shogun Remake with the old or better camera controls, no speed issues and stuff, paired with the probably really good campaign map, this makes hope for the future.

I think the expectations for Rome were too high. The graphics have fallen short, as did the Gameplay of the demo. But it might still become a good game, despites the drawbacks.
