Nice time.

If anyone still reading this thread hasn't bought the game yet, these guys have it on for $50 dollars as opposed to steams $60, and you'll be getting the DLC as well. Just not the TF2 shit or the ability to preload. They give the keys out on the day of release in an email

Man I got it for 45 Bucks from them, way back.

It's a nice-looking map. My picks for most likely DLC factions are the Seleucid Empire, Cantabri, Scythia, Getae, Baktria and Armenia, in that order.

Well, those two were highly predictable additions. At least it's nice that we're getting the Seleucids for free. I wonder if we'll get a third freebie faction as well? I'm also curious as to how those three nomadic tribes will be different exactly.

I'm glad they finally got someone who knows what their doing to play and uploaded it.

Still bad at multi tasking, too much talking not enough raiding.

Every units are considered as infantry when they are transported by sea to the battle : so any mounted/siege units will have to be landed on the campaign map to be useful. Disembarking elephants/horses/siege equipment from a boat has never been seen in history ?    Thats a major pain in the ass for every combined battles there will be.

[Casimir]

Yeah don't see why they didn't implement some form of disembarking / setup phase for siege equipment or cavalry.  The unit size is tiny so you could easily fit the equipment on board.

I'm sure there is some balance reason but it's just silly from a gameplay perspective.

[Overdriven]

I can see what their thought process was. Because unloading horses/siege equipment would be daft instantly straight from the ships in terms of realism. But if turns took days/weeks rather than months it would have made sense. But at the current turn length it makes little sense that you'd have to wait so many months just to get your cav/siege equipment on the ground.
