    The game itself will contain a number of new features around army management and waging war to bring further depth to this key aspect of the Total War experience. Most notably, as the player you will have to consider the very real risks of keeping your armies in line against mounting losses, disloyal generals and fragmented food supplies.

    A rogue commander can entice other wavering characters to mutiny, one of the triggers at play in the rich, new civil war system. Dark times call for dark measures, and amongst a variety of tactics players can employ to reduce the risk of such division, the brutal Roman practice of 'Decimation' (the systematic slaughtering of a tenth of an army) will restore temporary order at a high price.
    Sounds good.

    I don't know, maybe they will this time put some of those in-game too. Lack of cinematics was one common complaint people had with Rome 2.

    If what they say is true though, it will be a solid come-back of the individual general rebellion system, and possibly edict-like options to raise army morale and the like: sound like a great improvement.

    Trust me I'm well aware of Segas loose promises and their style of advertisement.

    But the only thing I'm latching onto is the result of NTW from ETW.

    So no one has realized the existence of a certain building centuries before it should exist? On the FREAKING THUMBNAIL!!!???

    Oh well, glad to see the Sassanians getting some love, they are a really fascinating people and I think that for what its worth, they look okay, should be fun to play with I hope.

    Have you really expected a historically correct game?

    It is for a broad audience not for history buffs (these are only a small minority).
    IMHO the most interesting will be how far the game can be modded, so what we of the community can do.

    I just watched the red horse trailer.

    "The Desert Does not Forget"
    What the hell? What's that supposed to mean, other then that I can see why would someone rush to buy this. It really hits the spots to make you interested.

    Could this be a hint towards the Kidarites (Red Huns)?

    It refers to the biblical red horse of the apocalypse. Upon which War, one of the horsemen of the apocalypse rode. It is merely a reference to the war which will be waged. It isn't a hint to anything and its pretty obvious that it refers to the Sassanids and their war against the eastern empire. Seeing as the white horse was the eastern empire, my guess is the black horse with be a trailer with the western empire and the pale horse will be Attila.

    At least from a marketing perspective

    ... war? I think the trailer makes it pretty clear. Didn't the Roman-Sasanian War occur during the period covered by this game as well? So the idea that the Sassanids will bring war to the roman people seems to fit pretty well.

    Hmm ERE ended up having a war with the Sassanid for 300 years.
    But again it is a interpretation of a situation and using bible with that never works.
    And again it is more or less just for fun.

    No of course not. They were not the red horse of the apocalypse in revelations. Revelations was written 80-100AD well before the Sassanids showed up.

    As I understand it not really. The 5th century was something of a downtime between the incessant 4th century wars and 6th century wars. Mainly because both were dealing with the trauma of the huns (Hephalites for the Sassies). They had some conflict but it wasn't as predominant an issue as in the prior or later century.

    No harm in depicting them with the red horse since it's a matter of theme and style. The white horse was about the Eastern Romans even though it's Attila at the end riding a white horse, I think. And it's not as if the East Romans were doing any conquests to speak of in this period so much as just surviving! And whomever could be the black horse won't be bringers of famine.

    White is for conquest or holiness/righteousness. Fits with the eastern empire. Attila will ride the pale horse.

    ...behold, a pale horse! And its rider’s name was Death, and Hades followed him. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth.
    The black horse will be the western roman empire. Which was experiencing issues, particularly with famine. So they all do make sense. IT actually does tie in quite well. But I do agree, the Sassanids are a touch of a stretch to fit in as the red horse. But it is all marketing in the end.
