    Haven't you ever learned to check if something was already being discussed?
    It's only basic forum etiquette.

    mmm is it a countdown or is it starting in 1908? I hope for WW1. But we'll see, as long as it's not ancient total war or something like that. (egypt, babylonia, persians etc.)

    Considering the counter starts in 2010 (?) and drops till 1908 i'd risk to say WW1

    I think WW1... There were already some rumors about ww1 some months ago... perhaps they will do as NTW, some conflicts before 1914, like the Balkans wars.

    It looks like some sort of metal on the background. Or is it rock? Oh... I'm so curious about this.

    so basically they just going to change some textures and the like on a NTW engine and WHOILA!!!

    if the modders were given the tools as promised inETW we would be at a WW 1 total overhaul already...

    i dont understand what everyone is getting excitied about?...
    1. overinflated steam downloads
    2. lagged up servers
    3. DLC's that really should of been game included...
    4. BUGS!!!
    5. promises of patches and updates that wont do anything but mess up your save games
    or no one wants to miss another chance to get screwed out of another 40 squid/60 dollars/400 rand etc etc etc etc etc

    For those not familiar with an countdown - the year 1908 stands for the sand which trickled down already (102 years back from 2010). With the many sand left above we might get to 270bc. The starting date of the first Rome.

    I know, we had dates from 280 BC to 0 AD thrown about so we'll only know at E3

    Has it moved since it's been there?

    I hope it's a Great War game, if it's shogun, don't bank on my investment.

    Stil 1908. Was this discovered today? If so then there have been 102 years counted. This must mean that the timer must have been much lower by now.
    Therefore I think (hope) that it sticks at 1908.

    They probably started at 1908 so the countdown would hit the desired year at the desired date.

    Hi all,

    I think this might be an anagram for the next title being released on August 19, 2010.

    Either that or its' probably a Victorian era game.
