Yes, RTW is selling for $30 at Best Buy this week, and the red box art looks good. It really stands out, and catches the eye. I even cautioned a customer who was holding the box at Best Buy on Saturday when the game was selling for $50 that the game needed a patch yet to be released. He said he would probably buy it anyway based on looking at the box. He wanted to know how bloody it was, and I told him they took out all the blood to get a Teen rating. I had to leave, so I don't know if he bought it.

Argh

Is there any "blood patch" you can download such as the "nude patch" in the Sims series?

Better yet... a "nude patch" for RTW!

Meanwhile, over at the www.twcenter.net, most are not active anymore because all we did was hype over the new game in August/September/October 2004, and that was also during the summer holiday with loads of big movies to download (Time Commanders, 2 decisive battles, dozens of trailers). At some point we hacked the data out of the demo to see all the speeches, building texts, unit texts, 1 month before the game was released (the datapack files).

Basically, before the game was out, we knew EVERYTHING about it. I am not kidding you, the game didnt surprise me anymore. It took some getting used to and I still dont have any campaign game that goes beyond 200 BC, having started and finished 8 or 9 campaigns, all on VH/VH.

This translated into little animo to go online and multiplay, and those who did are happy i guess playing there or @home singleplayer. In any case it decreased the desire to post on forums. To each his own, and surprising enough, the biggest fun for me is watching my student friends at a scientific study getting hooked by Rome, and asking me for advice on the game.

There is only so much you can get out of a game concept, and limited as it is, the forum activity with the transistion from old to new members (there are a lot of noobs who dont post but DO read), can hardly be a surprise.
