New screenshots look great and the music sounds awesome so far. Only if ambushes were like this on the campaign map, make it happen CA!

I like the realism of the forest on this picture, with sunlight through the mist... I hope it will be similary in the game... And that we will have the feeling of moisture, fog, grass, lot of ferns realistic, wood and fallen trees etc

Arminius Poster, big one:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Rome II HQ (A german site) has 7 new screenshots on their site.
two are the ones from Rally Point. The other 5 are the same as used in the PC gamer magazine.

It sure looks dazzling but after the visual wonder that is Shogun 2 I can't say I'm surprised.

How funny is it to see roman soldiers with shaved legs?, so sexy, so smooth, so delicate . Just kidding, I don't pretend to see hair on those legs, hardware already has enought to manage.

He's not Arminius in fact he can't be the one. He holds a Celtic sword, decorated with a Celtic torque and wears a Celtic armor. Imo he's a Icenii chieftain or elite warrior.
These screens are awesome. Just a copple of things disturbing me, that's why I post. First, the squid ink is back now on lorica segmentata armors... Some lorica seems too much rusty IMO : legionaries were supposed to make them shiny and clean (I mean they would be dirty and stuff after a long march or a battle, but not rusty in the long term like that.
Second thing I was wondering is the absence of blond guys in the German ranks... Seriously, not a single blond guy in an entire ancient German tribe ?!! Even today it's almost 50% of blond people in some regions of Germany or in Scandinavia. Brown hairs should be an exception. It was already the case in Empire or Napoleon, Swedes etc. did get the same generic faces than the other factions. But well it was generic, so why not. But here, they are making details in hair cuts for each factions, so Y NO BLOND GUYS ??
Is it just me or does the signum look weird?
Anyway I'm glad to finally see the segmentata.
(I have a feeling that we could see a "Battle of the Teutoburg Forest" gameplay very soon...)

One of the things that really impressed me with Rome 1 back then was that the units would ready themselves and lower their spears as an enemy approached.
It would not be a long jump to having soldiers sheathe their swords while marching and having them ready their swords as an enemy got within a certain distance. It would be both authentic and cool.
Secondly, I'm wondering about the scutums (shields) in the cohorts. How will they be able to make an effective Testudo when some of the shields are not the same shape or even square?

Very very good but... but... that lack of ground vegetation ! Devs of Roma Surrectum II are called to correct that please... Devs of Roma Surrectum II are called to the dock number 2 to correct that I have a little bad's word because representation of the teutoburg's forest is excellent although I would have liked a few trees less rights, more trees twisted, trees leanings and trees down on the ground as in a real forest for more realism. However, I hope that in other country, the representation of the thick vegetation will be current with lots of ferns, shrubs, grass and brambles, to the point of not seeing the soil texture, as in the mod Roma Surrectum II
For info, here a very good French-German TV (ARTE) about the battle of teutorburg (in french here) ==> http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xde...l#.UR3NZaW_XvE
