    Re: Possible expansion soon?

    I think they'll probably release a few Culture packs, or perhaps a new campaign. But then again the wording does seem to suggest that they don't have anything concrete planned.

    Re: Is Rome 2 REALLY that bad!?

    Rome II is a game that I'm still playing nearly four years (Four Years...has it really been that long?) after its release, although one that I play sporadically. Would I still be playing it at all if...

    I hope that for Rome II at least they add a Britannic and Germanic Faction pack. It always strikes me as a bit funny when looking at the Rome II faction menu to have the plural tribes for the...

  6. Re: Ottoman Empire: Just how accurate are they portrayed in the game?

    I think you must be thinking about the 'Auspicious Incident' of 1826, which saw Sultan Mahmud II abandon the Janissary corps after they revolted against him.

    This is what I do. Heavy infantry units are invaluable in the early stages of the game, as they serve so many different purposes. Another reason they are great is that compared to Cav units there is...

    Great news to hear that they are realising the Last Roman campaign. It's such a fascinating period of history - I was reading The Secret History of Procopius earlier this year. Also the news about...

    Re: New game announced - Total War: WARHAMMER

    I'm very glad to hear that Warhammer will be made in tandem with the traditional historical series of games. I feared Warhammer might spell the death of CA's forays into history.

    I'm playing as the Sassanids too, and I have a soft spot for the Soghdian Warriors. They are good, relatively cheap medium infantry that have won me a few battles.

    I like :

    The time period.
    Improved family trees and retinue system.
    General improvements to the Campaign.
