And by 6:40 he means 6:40:00. So not six minutes in.

Also the guy interviewing him is retarded. "DO THE BIGGER SHIPS COST MORE!?!?" "ARE WE GUNNA SEE ELEPAHNTS?!" ARE WE GUNNA SEE THOSE ELEPHANTS!?!" "HEY HOW BOUT THOSE ELEPHANTS!?!?" "THOSE CAPTURE POINTS SEEM A LITTLE VIDEO GAMEY......FOR A VIDEO GAME"

I assumed you were exaggerating but then I watched the video and now I think you were understating how much that guy focused on elephants.

There were goddamn elephants all over the video they showed and he's still saying "So uhh.. where are the elephants?? I wanted to see elephants! WAR ELEPHANTS!!" etc.

Was a cool little video despite him. Liked the deployables for sure.

Game looks great, but when those Romans literally went flying from those chariots and that artillery, that saddened me a bit. That looked like Rome I or Medieval II physics.

"THOSE CAPTURE POINTS SEEM A LITTLE VIDEO GAMEY......FOR A VIDEO GAME"

Well damn I fucking agree with this. When two armies meet in a field, why the fuck do you have any other objectives than destroying the other army? That is just seriously dumb and annoying and will limit you in your possibilities for using strategies in these battles.

Also, that artillerly, bales of hay and the chariots looked fucking OP. Hope it doesn't become a contest of who brings the most weird units and things, because it looked like infantry was just cannon fodder here instead of a stable and reliable fighting force.

But it's actually 6:15.

And yeah, that interviewer is worthless. Who hires these clowns?

I like that they added ship ramming, it's what they used in the Battle of Actium for example.

[Panos]

Can`t wait to buypirate this game

They already had ramming in FotS, it was obvious it'd be in Rome 2.

didn't know that, neither do I know what FotS stands for

Fall of the Samurai for S2:TW, though i don't think it had such significant importance there.

[okiN]

Yeah no, it was pretty useless and you could only do it with a few ships (after researching the tech), but still, it was in.

Ramming being one of the main weapons of a galley, i imagine sea battles will be significantly different.

[Overdriven]

Probably. Shogun sea battles were always pretty bad. Romes should be better I think.

Here's an only gameplay video:

I was really hoping to play around with an elite infantry army. Like Teeth said, looks like infantry is just fodder 

[Oberyn]

I just hope modding is going to be at least slightly supported.
