How excited are you about RTW?

I dunno about you guys, but the more previews I read, the more rediculously excited I get about the latest addition to the Total War series! I mean, I'm 28 and I feel like a kid again - this is going to be an awesome game!

I dunno, Maestro -- I actually have a kid as well as a wife, a cat and a regular job, so maybe that's why I'm a little less excited. Before I buy Rome I want to be sure that the game is worth messing up my laptop for. More than anything else I hope the diplomacy will be better than in MTW. Far as I'm concerned the battles may be few and far between (provided they're good) as long as they're integrated into a larger game that has a point apart from beating everyone else on the board to a pulp. If CA are able to make that leap, this 'll be the first of a whole new generation of strat games.

yeah looking forward to it heaps! For the game but also for the mods that will come out. If the demo is anything to go by then it is very moddable and there will probably be some great mods out after!

I agree with AdrianII that the battles can bew few and far between. It's the advancements to the single player campaing that wet my wick. The advanced trade, population and diplomacy look great.

Roll on October 1st

17 days to go.......
