Expansion Pack News! Slight snippet of info on the release date...

Spino,

I wouldn't mind seeing a "mini-campaign" as part of the expansion, but I don't think it should be the whole focus of one. I really would like to see a higher detail Italy/Sicily map with the emergence of Rome after Etruscan kings right up until the current campaign starts. This would be reminiscent of VI, true. However, I see it as just one part of an expansion pack. I suspect we will be looking at some sort of late Roman Empire expansion, since we don't even get to use the cohorts in any meaningful way at the moment.

I Agree 100% and my prediction is that the expansion will be GALLIC INVASION which is :
1.Pre set
2.Different Romans
3.Smaller map
4.Has to do with romans since its ROME TW so no Alexanders, Persians wars etc...
5.Its smaller than the later empire wich has not much divercity (only two-three maijor factions)

my 2cents

You all seem to misundertand how marketing works...haven't you read your dilbert?

1. The engineers work out a timeline which includes unforeseen things, like big bad bugs, flying pigs, whatever.
2. They are then told to take out the unforeseen things, and calculate everybody working 18 hours a day.
3. Then marketing cuts the release date to coincide with trade shows, holidays, etc.
4. Unforeseen things happens, pigs fly, bugs eat software, and the game is released according to schedule #1.

4. Unforeseen things happens, pigs fly

There are actually written accounts of flying pigs during the last periods of the Roman Empire. The famous emperor Constantine saw one flying over his camp just before the battle with the last Pagan romans. The last known flying pigs died in the Colloseum of Rome in 453 AD, close to the end of the Western Roman Empire. Hence, the expression of "when pigs can fly" symbolizes the impossibility of the Western Roman Empire ever reviving again.








I'm only kidding just in case anyone noticed.
