Bigger map including half of Africa, India and China.
Diplomacy like in ETW. No more diplomats.
No more non-historical units.
Many nations/tribes. At least three gallic and germanic tribes.
Longer time span. From time before first Punic war to the end of Empire.
More combat animations - soldiers fighting in a much more realistic way - no more "i hit you, you hit me, let's see who is tougher".
Greater variety of faces in a unit. M2TW was in this case better than ETW!
Commands in historic language - no more Romans speaking English.
Maybe some sort of a commanding using your voice? You say "first cohort - advance forward" and your unit advances forward, you say "second cohort - attack cavalry" and your unit does it, and of course... "ALL UNITS - FIRE!"
Ability to create your own general and name him as you please, then observe as his family grows, his children are taking various administrative positions and finally his descendant is becoming an Emperor.
Maybe ability to fight in the battle in Third or First Person Perspective?
Better graphics/physics.
Garrisonable buildings. But all buildings, not like in ETW.
Naval warfare.
Tech tree. But much better than in ETW.
Rome 2 what would you want to see
So much to write about this particular topic... Well first things first, what would I like to see be brought back. The old immersion that CA says thier bringing back in Shogun2, (fingers crossed) Rome total war in my opinion had the most realistic and empire building feel to any of the total war games, even if it wasn't totally historically accurate I still felt like I was controlling the fate of a powerful empire, or restoring the power of a fledgling kingdom. This immersion was brought about in my opinion by all the little things. Right before you went to the campaign map there was a gorgeous cut scene that gave a breif overview of your country's history and thier current situation in the world, for me that was a huge step towards feeling like I was a part of the countrys' history. Now in my opinion i'm totally baffled why they got rid of this other feature, being able to go into a cinematic overview of your city and watch the citizens walk around throughout your capital was breath taking (and there is just so much they could do with this!
) watching soldiers march throughout the streets people gathering for festivals etc. The final thing im going to add that they bring back is probably just a little weird thing I enjoyed, along with the general speeches, whenever you clicked the rally button his horse reared up and he yelled a battle cry- ROMANS! UNLEASH HELL! was one of the few I enjoyed and to me as little as that was it added a great sense of immersion and gave me a little more feeling of attachement to my generals.
