It's not a hoax. It was previewed in the UK PCZone magazine out now (it was first shown last month in UK PC Gamer). It was a two page job, with several screenies and said to be out end of March. Brian Blessed was interviewed, saying how PC games got a bad press but were fun/educational.

Actually, you've got the title wrong.

It's about me.

Brian Blessed in an interview about PC Games?

I didn't even know that he played them, I guess he has to do something in between playing Kings and Emperors.

Anyway thanks for tha clarification, I still feel cheated since I payed way to much to see "Fortune favors the Bold" show up and then nothing.

Yes, apparently he's doing the narration on the forthcoming RTW: Alexander expansion. Not sure where narration will fit into a TW game, but I'd be interested to find out.

Sorry to hear that. As others have said, you're presumably referring to a non-Total War game as the Alexander RTW expansion is not out yet. It sounds like you have a tech support issue - does the manual or readme give you advice on where to get tech support?

I am seriously looking forward to RTW Alexander then, since Brian Blessed has always been a gifted actor in his role as either an Emperor or King (He is halarious in Black Adder).

Yes I was talking about a non total war game, since I thought that was what the other threads where about.

I looked at all of the game requirements and found that there is no tech problems, the game is defective.What else is known about thie RTW Expansion set?

Just a quick bit of rumour control: there is an Alexander mini-expansion pack for Rome: Total War in the works. Release dates are not something I know about - and not actually something that CA control - so I can't say anything about that. The pack is not to be confused with other games-based-on-movies-based-on-Colin-Farrell's-haircut.

I can confirm it is not a hoax - but the game has not been *officially* announced yet.

I hope to see it soon then, and it is good to have one of Englands most "respectable" (whatever that means, we Brits can be so so rediculous with words) defending video games.

Wonder if they'll charge for it.

Is the Pope a Catholic?

**Braden** · 03-07-2006, 13:40

Now look....see what you've done, is the Pope Catholic...I know he's German but Catholic? What's that got to do with the Pope?

(before I get burned - joking obviously)

Seriously though....Do Bears poop in the Woods?

i hope not. It is a download only pack though, and according to PC Gamer/Zone UK its an experiment for CA. Maybe we`ll see more of these packs in future. I vote for Hannibal to be the next one :)

Thanks Captain Fishpants
