20 NEW PICTURES! Screens + artworks (Roman testudo, buildings, barbarian agents and units, wardogs)

[SirFork]

The picture of the female warriors with spears were already shown in a german magazine and were described as the agent type champion of the barbarians (Inspired by Boudicca obviously). The male variants are from the same agent. 3 different appearances for different levels, like in FOTS. The wizard guys are the celtic druid agents and the witches were described as germanic agents.

Very good!

O cool new dragon age artwork...

O wait it's total war

Hmmm not really happy with this, I really don't know why so many companies just can't resist to put woman in armour. Is it some sort of fetish? Or just appealing to people with such a fetish?

what ever happened to historical accuracy? screaming woman? and why do the agents look like wizards?.

[Anibal at portas]

screaming woman?
this people of CA has seen too many series of Xena the warrior or spartacus and read few history books.
Why not make a game based on the Hyborian Age of Conan and stop spoiling the history?
never had women in combat, this only comes in these series of low quality as Spartacus.
the matriarchy existed in Celtic societies and was symbolic figures that inspired armies as boudica,but not have woman in battles.
that's a fantasy as the iliad amazones.

No, this sentence is about units definitely: ''Germanic women used to fight alongside their husbands and/or support them with their screaming.''

Absolutely,
you're right.
Too many Romans - i agree.

1. This game is ROME 2, not BARBARIAN.
2. There are 4 images with Romans, but 11 with barbarians.

Ok, KLA, thanks.

It does not sound good to me though

Thought so, but did native North Africans dress like this in the ancient period??




Looks like some dudes that should be in Islamic Conquest: TW.

African? Show me an African warrior dressed like they. They are almost identical to the Japanese warrior monks.

I love these photos I do not know why people are crying

[RGA]

For God's sake, we know little about how people 2000 years ago dressed, especially when it comes to barbaric cultures. First, there was little surviving written accounts. Second, those barbarians rarely portraited themselves on pottery as the Greeks and Romans, and when they did, it was only very primitive. Clothes didn't survive 2000 years, and even armours are now nothing but piles of rusted metal. And here we have "experts" who claimed they know exactly how people dressed 2000 years ago.

[eXistenZ]

the women are hot!

i really need to get laid....

[KLAssurbanipal]

TsarGrey, they are identical to Japanese monks for me.

[nomercysniper]

\_/ <-- That is CA's cup of care, its is currently empty.

As much as you ***** and moan and about historical discrepancies that cup will remain empty.
The barbarians look fine to me, high level swordsmen maybe, the druids and women both look like agents with the staffs and robes.
The women in chainmail could be a unit yes

KLA, do you have a source for post #52? Good idea, but the armor upgrades idea has equal merit.

[Serkelet]

I'm loving how the Suebi and the Arverni look! The Iceni also look good.

[Clock]

It's only concept art, not sure why anyone is getting so worked up....oh wait...I forgot where I was

Anyway, I'm almost certain these were confirmed as art for the agent types of the barbarian factions - not actual battle units. If i recall they were originally featured in one of the German magazine previews.

Those images of the druids and women remind me of this type of thing.

I love that type of "thing".
