    Icon1 There will be no agent videos!

    I am greatly saddened by this news, as I always saw them as one of the things that livened up the slog of a campaign immensely, and provided an entertaining break from battles and taxes. I didn't know how widespread this information was so created a thread

    But there will be other ones, for example for events, dilemma, etc (won't it be awesome to see a gladiator match?). Assassination videos look cool at first but after a while, it gets repetitive.

    Of course the videos are funny the first 2-3 times, but after that, I just skip them, so no problem for me.

    I always liked agent videos but to be honest i skipped them most of the times.

    In the beginning sure. Not so much when they continually come up EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. That is what got annoying...

    A nice bonus, but like others have said, I always skipped them after seeing them a few times. In a game which you may play for hundreds of hours, there's no way they could create enough videos with enough variety to last without becoming rather repetitive. Better to spend the resources on other things, like more unique event videos.

    I'm actually a bit disappointed; the assassination vids in Shogun 2 were structured in such a way that you didn't know they'd failed until it pretty much happened. Created a bit of tension. I hope we'll have Wonders videos like in RTW they were great.

    These kinds of videos were really awesome. I hope to see something like this for Rome II.
    Disclaimer: the post above is way way prealpha, the final version will be way better than this.

    they should have more variations and ofc they should have been in. Ninja abd geisha videos were great.

    They were a nice, fun break from the game.

    Good.

    They have to keep out something afterall... I prefer more and deeper diplomatics options rather than videos. The problems is if we don't have both

    The shogun 2 videos were a nod to the shogun 1 videos. I'm fine with no videos in Rome 2. But the lack of city view is wrong! Plain wrong!

    That's a shame, not game breaking but certainly enjoyable and will be missed.

    As mentioned above, not a huge deal. Watched once or twice then skipped.

    Disappointed, but hopefully we'll get getting a cool campaign-map animation depending on the results of agent actions.
