Your favourite new features in m2tw?

I think your overestimating RAM, RTW was 256mg, for it then to go over 1gig for the same engine is weird. But tbh RAM is the one thing I could upgrade, I'm not going to get a new process/gfx card as they're way too expensive just for one game. But an extra 256mg is only £30.

I think the new blood effects and the new town/castle feature is what is the most interesting and sound great to me.
Of course the whole package sounds good but these 2 is so far my favorite.

I am looking forward to the cities and towns and the SOUTH AMERICAN NATIONS!

The number of units on the battlefield don't worry me so much.

I'm really looking forward to the merchants and the improved Diplomacy options/system.

Concerning the AI, they did mention that they will improve the Strategical and the Tactical AI in one of the interviews. Another CA guy even mentioned that they're well aware that the Rome AI was somewhat lacking, so I wouldn't be too pessimistic about that issue just yet.

There aren't any real groundbraking new features that I would buy the game for alone, so it depends on the whole package just like Monarch says.

If CA came out saying that the AI would be the greatest in any TW game, that would definitely be something.

I'm particularly looking forward to the improved terrain of the battlefields (looks more varied, and bigger), and to the reintroduction of prisoners; I really hope we'll again have the option to execute the whole army, just the leaders, or no-one at all.

Also like the look of the combat, the new animations look excellent. Hopefully the won't make combat results too random.

The Mongol horde.

**Alien_Tortoise2345** · 07-17-2006, 05:03

For me the main draws are:

A: Great-looking and more so than Rome.
B: Seems to be more factions than Rome.
C: New non-combat units i.e. Princesses, Merchants, Cardinals, Witches, Heretics.
D: Option to make towns Fortresses or Castles is interesting.
E: The presentation seems nice in the trailer i.e. lots of nice movies.
F: Cannons on Elephants!

i think i love all thats been told about it except i dont believe the whole "if you can play RTW then you cn play MTW2" that has to be a bunch of

**sunsmountain** · 07-25-2006, 09:06

None.

Maybe glory goals, if they're in.

**Horatius** · 07-28-2006, 07:01

Of what has been anounced I am seriously looking forward to actually getting use diplomacy for something other then "The senate requests for the good of the people of Rome for you to get a trade agreement with" and bribing.

My favourite new feature will be the brilliant graphics, and the units as individuals. 10,000 soldiers in an army, all looking different from the person next to them, and they all look fantastic too.
