Rome II General Info Thread

[Teeth]

I think it's a fucking disgrace that they managed to not include the Seleucids in a Roman era game. I am still seriously pissed off and I have half a mind of pirating the entire deal because apparently it is accepted to cut half the content from the base game and sell the rest of the stuff for additional money as DLC. The base faction selection is a fucking disgrace. It's like releasing Barcelona as additonal DLC for FIFA.

In any case, I am a complete phalanx slut. Nothing is more majestic than a spear wall lawnmowing through enemy mobs. Basically any successor kingdom, of which there are shamefully few, but still a bunch. Makedon will be my first play I guess, or Epeiros so I can shit on the Romans earlier. Unlike a lot of people I tend to dislike playing Romans and I usually enjoy messing them up. I like Pontus as well but without the Seleucids it will just be weird, hopefully Pontus gets phalanxes as well as cataphracts.

Oh the Seleucids will be there as a NON playable(at first) faction. Probably be P2P DLC. My first faction was the Seleucids(outside of rome since you had to "unlock" the others).

Pretty fun getting suckered almost from the start. Carthage was also another faction I liked to play with. Though, I believe I'll play Pontus or Carthage. Depends on how I like the way they stack units and upgrades. With this new "Cultural Victory" they alluded to, it sounds like you could do well without steamrolling everyone.

There is only one faction that I play, and its the Romans.
Sorry, but I like they way how they fight, how they look, no need for me for all those eastern and barbaric factions

Definitely sig-worthy, but I do not want to replace my current signature.

I'll start with Rome as they're the dominating power, most likely followed by Carthage or the Germans (or Suebi, how they're called in the game).

Anyone else here who read Simon Scarrow's books about the Roman legionaries Macro and Cato?

[Taser]

I'll be playing as Carthage or a greek state. I love Carthage and will most likely start as them. Now they truly can be a naval powerhouse instead of kinda one like I played them in Rome I.

New video from Rezzed. Shows the Battle of the Nile once again, along with the campaign map - shows a bit more information than the E3 video. There was some things I like and some things I really didn't like, so i'll just have to wait and see, I suppose.
