Rome 2 Total War and Europa Barbarorum

[SoFarSoGood]

I shall await EB 2 far more happily than Rome 2. Sorry but the amount the historical detail needed to do EB 1(.2) was NEVER going to be a 'commercial hit' as it were. For sure it's a better game by miles and historically alot closer to realism but by going into such detail (which is fine for wierdos like me) you alienate the mass market. Perhaps CD Project Red who did an excellent job with Witcher 2 and the EB team could get together and give us a complete game as it should be of the rise of Rome and Diadochi wars. I know... dream on I suppose but I do have shares in CD Project Red (I am half Polish).

Rome 2 will be another update of Rome 1 with added bits of naval battles taken from Empire and Nappy etc, on a larger map and with a few new add-ons they've been working on for whatever they chose next. It will be another mass market aimed game with options to play on those awful 'gaming machines'. Any serious gamer KNOWS you need a pc specifically designed for games to beat the system, particularly in a long strategy game. It is not a 'sitting on the sofa' affair and absorbs your every particle of grey matter if you want to crash them out. This, I hope, is what we get from EB 2 and not the mass market dross for those with little understanding of history or reality which is where Rome 2 will aim.
