    Rumors only right now, but since CA is two-for-two on expansion packs so far . . . the odds are pretty good that R:TW will have an expansion. I am looking forward to it, no matter what the bashers here on the Org might have to say. Best guess: late this year or early next year.

    Any idea as to what the setting for the expansion will be?

    If I had my choice, I think I'd like to play Rome: Total War- Peloponnesian War. They could focus in on Greece in the same way they did with England in Viking Invasion.

    I'll take your word for it, mate. I feel quite certain that you are a much greater authority on "butt munchers" than I am.

    yeah, but that wouldn't be rome total war. imho, the expansion will cover the imperial era of the roman history. maybe starting with caesar, or octavian...who knows...

    May issue of CGW, page 40, says Rome: Total War -Barbarian Invasion is scheduled for mid September. Should hear something official from CA very soon.

    As long as their expansion opens up the doors to a lot of the hardcoded stuff like number of factions and unit individual move speeds, I'll be glad.

    But it's realistic. Many great generals of the past were drunkards

    Yeah a ex pack with a new zoomed in campaign map would be neat. An zoomed in map of greece where the cities actully all are diffrent faction. Also this ex pack would enhance the old campaign. In other words just like viking invasion.

    The other expansions for TW series (Mongol STW and Viking MTW) made the game better. If only for that, I do hope CA will issue an expansion to RTW. Though this one will be tough - there seem to be soooo many things to improve...

    agreed, if they don't fix some of the more major bugs and make the game more mod-friendly (as other companies have recently, with Half-Life 2 and Unreal Tournament 2005) i'm probably going to lose faith in Creative Assemblies...

    there's no question it's going to focus on barbarians. i mean, just look at the previous two expansions.

    the huns, and the vikings, both viewed as very "backward" and "primitive" people, but a huge impact.

    Ever greece or barbarian invasion would be cool, i think C.A would probably lean to greece more as in viking invasion they scaled down one place but doing a whole barbarian invasion might be more of a diferent game...........

    Most recent rumor I've heard is that the expansion is going to be called Barbarian invasion.

    I doubt it will be about Greece,

    1: A very limited unit selection as most factions will be using hoplites.

    2: Its called ROME total war

    I do think Barbarian invasion would be awsome, I wouldn't mind using those Goth's to destroy the opressive Romans.
