Expansion?

[HicRic]

Well, there's bound to be one. We've have the mongols, the vikings...so, what Invasion do you think CA have planned for Rome? I'm afraid I'm not very historically knowledgable when it comes to this time period, so I can't put forward any guesses.

Any historians care to take a guess as to the expansion?

Also, how soon after STW and MTW were MI and VI released?

hmm, maybe the expansion would take us back a bit in time: to the hey-day of greek states (i.e., the period covered in the HTW mod) and the very beginnings of the roman state. or, alternatively, to the colapse of the western roman empire. there would not be too many factions to play though: all the known world was Rome then... :)

I would LOVE it if it was about ancient Greece, Troy, Persia etc....

[Sjakihata]

troy wasnt exactly ancient greece, but yeah..

I definately think some kind of barbarian invasion, whether the huns the visigoths or what i dont know though.

Fall of the western Roman empire, possibly with the roman empire split into two empires that are allied. That would be cool.

[Ktonos]

I believe it will be something like MTW's Early and a Late campaign.Something at the age of Alexander and something starting at about 1AD.

That and a bunch of historic battles.

Hence the commas?

the eastern roman empire, with it's peaks, recessions, recoveries and the ultimate collapse would be interesting too (fighting persians, barbarians, bulgarians, internal factions, later - arabs, turks). in MTW we see Byzantium in its decline already, but it had a very long violent stretch of history preceding that. on another note, arab expansion across half of the world (including taking the christian mid-eastern lands from the byzantines) could be a topic of its own...

There were still the Germans and Persians. Plus Scotland
Overall, I agree, it would not be all that much fun to play the collapse of the Roman Empire, which was mostly internal.

Fall of Rome, which leads nicely into their MTW remake.

*drools*

[fastspawn]

my guess is that it will be about Macedon. The expansion will probably officially open up Macedon as a selectable culture, and will expand the map eastwards up to the Kush, and Ganges.

[metatron]

Nobody said they can't do both really. We're just assuming they'll only do one, smaller expansion pack like before.

I think you mean Europe and Asia Minor. As far as I know, no Romans ever conquered the Far East.

Well, they never conquered the Americas either. Both are too distant too fit in realistically.
