game preview

Hope this is the right place to post this... but here it goes:

Just read a preview of a game that seems to be based on the concepts of TW but aiming at taking it all a few steps further:

Among other things it includes naval combat!


And check out this pic:

If I am not mistaken, it shows a device developed by Archimedes in the defense of Syracuse against the Romans!

It remains to be seen, of course, if it ´ll even get close to RTW, but it seems like a good try, introducing some interesting new concepts.

I especially like the inclusion of naval combat, perhaps this means that in a future TW game by CA it can no longer be ignored (please)?

does it also has a stratmap

not really sure about the strategy part, the preview says this:

¨Rise & Fall will feature multiple strategy components. The primary (and most exciting) one will be the core real-time strategy combat, which looks to have a flavor somewhat similar to the Total War series, with scores of units clashing on the blood-soaked battlefield. Afterward, you'll be tasked with strategizing to finance and maintain your empire amidst a sea of conflict. ¨

Oooh.....another good game to get. I now have two games on my list of games to buy: 'Age of Empires lll' and 'Rise and Fall: Civilisations at War'!!!

[Ellesthyan]

Meh... Seems a little too RTS for me. Lemme see that strategy map first!

[The Stranger]

he mikeus tell me where i can see the AoE 3 review

There is a thread of "Rise and Fall" in the Arena section. I'm skeptical of this game though. They need a huge map and lots of units to pull this off.

[The Stranger]

no not rise adn fall but Age of Empires 3

More RTS crapola for the kiddie brigade.
