I really loved the campaign map, and it looked so enormous! I was like damn it takes for ever to get to the edge with the camera.
Also the city expansion while you build was really cool! I missed those in the previous titles, and now the campaign map will be much more dynamic. Can't wait !

Thanks man this worked like a charm.

So I watched it again and he said something about MP!!! he said the normal modes head to head and up to 4 players!!!! Sounds like 4 players on the MPC Fellas!!!!!!

Hmm.. I misunderstood, you mean 2v2 MPC head to head. A 4 player MPC? I still really want to see how they will do multiplayer. How they will do the avatar campaign.

Well he did say head to head up to 4 players it makes me think of MPC for some reason I hope its true.

Maybe it has something to do with something like the avatar campaign?

To be quite honest I hope not because I hardly even used the Avatar campaign does not really interest me as much as the MPC does.

Everything looks awesome except unit and building cards. Not the best style but i bet ill get used to it.

Had reservations about the campaign map earlier (when looking at the desert areas) but starting to move away from that - those forests (Gaul) look pretty epic...

I'm liking the tities on that capital ships statue.

They seem barren to me, although I am rather biases considering how much I hated the Shogun 2 map.
Desert is more epic. I want to see the east now. Glad to see Scythia is there.

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

[Arcani 4 Ever]

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

The interviewer was bad, maybe he was tired to something. He did ask okay questions though.

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.

[Semper_Fidelis]

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]

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

[|Sith|Galvanized Iron]

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.

lol
Because the Parthian army smashed the Roman army.
'genuine' eastern cultures, it has been shown?
or eastern army?
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...
