Officially disappointed by roman units sent flying by whatever is thrown at them like in a Looney Tunes show.

I hope CA shows something different in the IGN preview. Seeing the same thing twice, doesn't really hype me.

The E3 Total War Rome II demo/presentation was bigger than expected. They showed campaign map as well the Battle of the Nile.

Of course, CA decided to avoid talking about diplomacy and agents during E3, they will save that for Rezzed. But the question still lies out there..

What are they going to show us at Rezzed?

I think there are 2 paths of what CA might be planning to show us.

1. Go back to where it all began.

They will show us the new current beta version of the Siege of Carthage and instead of just a fraction of the Siege they will show the full battle and cinematics. That would be interesting as they would show us how much the game has changed in one year.

2. The Campaign Map at E3 spoiled us some Parthian-Roman rivalry for Rezzed.

Based on the screenshots for E3, Parthia and Rome will eventually clash into a bloody war. So CA will show us that war at Rezzed.

That would make it the Battle of Carrhae as the Historical Battle they are going to show us.

So what do you guys think, what will CA show us at Rezzed? I highly doubt they will repeat the Battle of the Nile.

They will probably go deeper into the things they haven't really explained like the campaign features, multiplayer, naval battles and the new capture a point system in a siege. The majority of the stuff they will show is probably stuff that most of us here on the forums already know.

**AngryTitusPullo** · June 13, 2013, 02:31 AM

Playable codes for the campaign. The full Battle of the Nile video (10 minutes worth). Full campaign map as been advertised. Those stuff.

Carrhae would not be a suitable demo battle as it would not show off any new aspects of the game, it would just be a bunch of Romans getting grinded down by missile fire and then finished off by a cataphract charge, not very exciting stuff.

Because the Parthian army smashed the Roman army.

'genuine' eastern cultures, it has been shown?

We have just seen hellenistic buildings,army,general,name,and...

What I meant was that armies being cut down by missile fire and then finished off by cataphracts was already in the original RTW so it would not show off anything new...

**Clock** · June 13, 2013, 04:05 AM

Probably more in-depth look at the campaign. E3 hasn't really been about PC for a long time, they were lucky to even get offered a small 10 minute interview as it was.

Total War: Rome II Live Code Demo

A year on from debuting the first cinematic at Rezzed, The Creative Assembly returns to the developer sessions stage to present a live playthrough of Rome II.

**jamreal18** · June 13, 2013, 04:18 AM

I hope another real time battle, i havent seen phalanx in action, even archers and even cavalry...

I only saw naval, artillery and chariots...

**Beregond** · June 13, 2013, 04:18 AM

more flying Romans?

**Petroniu** · June 13, 2013, 04:24 AM

At Rezzed I believe that they have a full 30-40 minutes, their own stand with a PPT presentation and a projector and Al Bickham will have an entire angry TWC accufans mob throwing **** at him for all that time.

I guess that they will show much and many more. Maybe they will give a demo release date, who knows?

**super_newbie_pro** · June 13, 2013, 04:27 AM

AHAHAHAHAH Beregond ! Or maybe tools mods ?

**Virtanen** · June 13, 2013, 05:56 AM

most likely more bigger, better footage

you know, what daft punk said

**Jungle Rhino** · June 13, 2013, 06:14 AM

I don't care as long as it isn't Will showing us some side-boob...

But in terms of gameplay there is still an awful lot to be shown! Diplomacy screen, agents, general/army/agent skill trees, victory conditions screen, faction politic stuff, is there a tech tree? and of course moar combat that isn't scripted and doesn't involved explosions.

Rezzed is bound to be a bit more detailed and in depth as opposed to the E3 flashy/explosions/tat type of environment.
