the kid in the robe and old man

[lawandorder82]

Was it ceaser in the live action trailer

[Sol Invictus]

I assume it is Octavian. Not sure who the old man is meant to be. Maybe Cicero. Octavian being the fresh, new, and vigorous face of the Empire while the old man represents the tired, old, and dieing Republic.

That is a awesome idea I hope ceaser is in this game did anyone else see the spqr flag I love Roman and ancient history it my fav history

[atheniandp]

it was spartacus

[♠ Thomas Cochrane ♠]

Spartacus? if anyone it was Aphrodite and the Chimera!
But seriously, there's no way it was Caesar (not "Ceaser"), because no guards seized him, but I do like the notion that it could have been Octavius (young) and Cicero (old). I can see some vague resemblance in the old man's features to "Chickpea"
p.s Cicero is a nickname meaning chickpea

Will ceaser be in Rome ii

[Sol Invictus]

Will ceaser be in Rome ii

Julius Caesar will certainly be in Rome 2.

[alQamar]

i assume it is Octavius and Cicero. refer to "Rome" mini series very much similar.

[cenkiss]

I hope not. I don't want to be following the exact history in rome 2.

[General Brittanicus]

I assumed that it wasn't a real life figure represented in the trailer. The whole point of the total war games is to make your own history not to re-enact what actually happened. I imagine the characters in the trailer are just meant to represent the betrayal, political machinations, etc that will be present in the game.

This.

Although I can see why people might think (and may be correct in thinking that) the character profile is based off Octavian.

Oh he will make an appearance rest assured. That doesn't mean he will take control of Rome though. You might even cause him to suffer an unfortunate "accident" before he gains any influence at all.

i know but it needs julius ceaser

[lawandorder82]

so will we play were they is a rift were their is west and eastern roman empire 410 or 409 ad

[Sol Invictus]

The timeline won't go that far. It will most likely stop at around 50 A.D. I am guessing. We will almost certainly play a civil war where we decide whether to side with the Republic or try to overthrow it and create the Empire.

Awesome

CA is introducing more historical/narrative elements into the campaign, but we'll still be able to make our own history. This means we'll probably see certain characters (e.g. Caesar) and events unfold, and how we react to them will shape the course of our history.

Damnit lawandorder82, for someone who is so obsessed with Julius Caesar, you should really learn how to spell his name
