I hope they fix the big bugs we have now, so it might actually be worth buying. The whole barbarian invasion thing just sounds boring, I would have much preferred a campaign for Alexander's conquests and/or the following wars of his successors

And it doesn't matter if the romans can't win, they've turned christian so they've lost most of their appeal anyway

Maybe it's contrary to popular belief, but many of the invading Barbarians were Christians too...

I think some of those pix are scanned from materials handed out at business conventions, thus are not for the general public to see until they go in a regular magazine or you read about it on gamespy.

Yeah the screens I saw looked like scans. And they had some kind of logo plastered all over them. But what came through clearly was the western (red) and eastern (senate purple) Roman empires. Plus the Saxons, Franks, Alemanii, Vandals, Goths, and Sassanids.

I've said it and I"ll say it again.

That picture blows. It looks like peasants showing up to see fireworks, not a savage tribe of foreign conquerers raping Rome.

I mean I know I"m supposed to suspend my disbelief when I play games, but don't show me a square and tell me it's a cube.

The link at top says that ALL factions will be given new units and tech trees.

I would really liked to see that in real life!

@Colovion

True enough. It looked like those peasants came from Carthage, not germania.
