    Default What about the throne rooms?

    We all know the movies for Assasinations from STW will return, but what about the throne rooms? will they also make a return?

    That would be absolutely awesome.

    Care to explain what there throne rooms are, for those who - like myself - haven't played Shogun.

    You could click on the advisor guy and he would give you random advice. Also emissaries would come into the room and give a little speech asking you to sign a treaty.

    Also, the map showed who owned what province - including provinces which were obscured by fog of war on the campaign map.

    Basically it was a massive waste of time. Ok it looked nice and it added atmosphere to the game, after a while it became pointless.

    It's no secret, just upsetting when your Daimyo would get intmate with her.
    When a fox kills your chickens, do you kill the pigs for seeing what happened? No you go out and hunt the fox.

    I've heard that before.

    I'd love it too. Hopefully they will.

    That would be awesome, one of my favorite aspects of STW

    Each Faction would have a different looking emissary, or agent that wanted to speak with you. And depending on the nature of your empire, the look of your (unique) faction throneroom would change. During Times of Peace there would be the usual stuff going on in your room, people eating, talking to each other, servants coming and going (which would make a great Assassination Video). During Times of Prosperity your Throne Room would look far more lavish, during times of war Officers would be crowded around your table, pointing out different tactics that could be used on the map, having men guard you (during times of war, it should be more difficult to assassinate The King, especially if he is in a city), you could also click on different advisors to give you their shpiel on your current situation(s), When you are on the brink of defeat, or in debt your throne room will look cluttered and poor, and your advisors will be dirty and unkempt, and they'll be sure to give you notice too when you look to them for advice... wishful thinking on my behalf though *sigh*

    Where did you read that the movies would return? I was assured by some forum members that the assassination movies would return in R:TW; but I ended up disappointed.

    Both the throne room and the movies were nice features. Not essential, but nice. I'd rather have these back than the night battles (but I assume that night battles will be easier from CA's point of view).

    IIRC, it was on totalwar.com in one of the previews of M2TW where they talked about some new features. I am 100% certain they said they will have the return of the assassination movies.
    Here is a direct quote: "Charge assassins to wipe out enemy generals and witness their cold-hearted killing first-hand with assassination movie sequences."

    Correct it does say this on the .COM site.

    I also hope they make more movie sequences, so it doesn't get too boring to watch them over and over again. Eventually I did get bored of watching the movies because I could guess what was going to happen based on how the beginning of the movie went.

    More movie sequences and a return of the throne room please CA.
