Tomorrow we have an interview for the new Total war game, taking your questions! (OP updated!)

[Causeless]

Well... it's kinda obvious.

A standalone follow up to Rome 2. Here, let's grab the definitions of those words:

stand-alone
adjective
(of computer hardware or software) able to operate independently of other hardware or software:
"a stand-alone application"

follow-up
noun
The act or an instance of following up, as to further an end or review new developments:
"The follow-up is often as important as the initial contact in gaining new clients. The social worker's emphasis on followup reassured her clients."

So. Total War: Attila is a follow-up, or new development of Rome 2, which can run independently from Rome 2.

[JERUSALEM]

Ask them about the factions. Which factions will be playable in Attila TW










.

[GussieFinkNottle]

How long, in months or years, is each turn? Are there 4 turns per in-game year, or more?
Will City-View be in?
Can the inevitable pre-order DLC please not be factions, but other content e.g. units, historical battle, videos, soundtrack download, physical figurines/board games like collector's edition, or exclusive downloadable material like AC3's Washington's notebook. Factions are integral to the game, not DLC material.

When is this interview?!

[Huberto]

We've been punk'd

[SirPeacemaker]

My 2 questions: 1.Will be gates taken down by torches again?? 2. Will be there capture points again??

[GussieFinkNottle]

My 2 questions: 1.Will be gates taken down by torches again?? 2. Will be there capture points again??

I think the answer to both of those has already confirmed as yes.

Thanks for answering, too bad noone is asking you but proposing questions for the interview, its not a TWC Q&A.
"Standalone follow-up" is not an accurate way to describe the game which can hint to its development effort and new engine capabilities. The expression used is also a good way to predict the price tag the game will have and atm its pretty blurry.
Its either a downloadable content (5-20€) an expansion (20-40€) or a brand new game (40-60€). Its not a stupid nor innocent question.

If its "downloadable content"-like quality/effort at the price tag of a new game, and is announced as an expansion (whether standalone or not), it has an importance.

Update the OP

[radarhead]

Treid to create a new thread for it, but I think a mod updated this thread instead, which makes sense .

[Causeless]

I'm a bit sad you didn't ask about unit pushing (me and another person requested it), but it was a great interview nonetheless!

Great so now Agents have TWO actions available to do? They're powerful enough as it is

I think he meant 2 actions as in, they only have 2 abilities each at the start. But when you level them up, they unlock more. So it nerfs them, not buffs them.

[Akhenaton]

It actually changes them for the better, since in Rome II all agents could do very similiar actions, but here we go back to a shogun 2 system with each agent type having his own unique abilities with the addition of unlocking new actions as they progress, leading to more specialization. At least that´s how I understood it. I like it
