Ah, that makes more sense. Guess I was overanxious to hear some good news regarding AI improvements...

Think about it: If you touted the AI as being one of the game's major selling points, and then it turned out to be less than stellar, you'd be reviled for deceiving your fanbase, maybe even accused of false advertising. But if you don't mention the AI and it then turns out to be pretty good, it's a pleasant surprise for everyone! There's simply no way CA *isn't* aware of Rome's AI deficencies, and I therefore can't believe they're not going to do their best to fix them this time around.

I suppose it makes sense they would. I haven't played BI yet, but from what I've read and all, it seems like they made some improvement over previous versions, so that's a step towards the right direction. Then again, on the opposite end, we could end up with them feeling like those improvements were enough and just concentrate on other aspects of the game. Wait and see I suppose.

Minimum RAM should be 512MB. A 1.5+GHz system should run the game just fine. 256MB or 512MB video card is recommended.

My thoughts ,anyway.

diBorgia

Bopa the Magyar(great name). I think it will be close to Dawn of War(Warhammer)and it's expansion pack. Or COD2 or Battlefield2.

I hope those are the min requs. I reckon 2 gigs of RAM should do it. To be honest I doubt it's much more than RTW. What came syst Requs wise do you think it will compare to? COD2

For me it's the way how settlements can be developed in two ways.

Either as feudal lands with castles, or as cities.

Hopefully it actually pans out as being useful and not just city=RTW cities, castle=restricted RTW cities...

Personally I think it will be like city=RTW cities minus good units, castle=restricted RTW cities, plus better units

ALthough I'm pretty sure that farm upgrades will be better with castles (feudal pesentry), while markets, ports and like will be more popular for cities.

what i would like, is, if the provinces consists of more than one city

Sounds interesting. Anyway i'm actually looking forward to see how the new diplomacy works if it's as good as it sounds.

The only game I have that needed more than 512mb was Civ4, and there was a memory leak. At least in Rome there doesn't seem to be much (or any) difference between 512mb and 1gb ram.
