In preparation for Rome 2...

[kikokyle]

What are you guys doing?
I'm playing lots of Total War, watching a ton of LPs, and just finished watching the Decisive Battles series and will watch Time Commanders.

[The Juggernaut]

First I played Rome, then read a TON of books, whether it's modern history, historical fiction, or Plutarch and Julius Caesar's Commentaries. Now I'm playing Mount and Blade mods and checking these forums far too often than is healthy. I can't wait until Rome 2 is out, my internet usage will drastically decrease!

Pretty much that since this damned game was announced! 2 and a half months to go though! The long wait is over!

[Aeneas Veneratio]

Factions Wars (forum game), RTW, SWTOR and S2TW (FOTS mostly)

[JOZI]

I'm trying to stay away form lets plays, checking the twc main site for news, watching to form for any extra information, and playing Medieval 2 and Shogun 2 MP. Medieval 2 because the way I've read it the armor feature is similar to the armor features and the units seem to have the same amount of moral and Shogun 2 mp cause its fun .

[The Useless Member]

I just have a conglomerate of Medieval II mods. I am also guilty of watching let's plays though.

I've been reading quite a bit on the late Roman republic (especially the Civil Wars), and a little bit about the Hellenistic era and Carthage too. I also hope to get round to watching HBO Rome, Spartacus and a plethora of old Hollywood Swords and Sandals movies just to set the scene.

We are making a fanmade decisive battle series Called DEATH GROUND. We are testing it with Shogun 2 , ros, and fots before Rome 2. So samurai will be season 1, season 2 will be rome 2 and probably more rome 2. Check us out

I actually started planning ahead yesterday. I added as many movies/documentaries I could to Netflix, so I will have plenty to watch once Rome II comes out. I don't want to start watching them before it comes out though. I made that mistake before Shogun II and I was half sick of Samurai movies and the whole era by the time the game came out.

Luckily for me NCAA Football 14 comes out in a couple weeks and Madden 14 comes out at the end of August, so those 2 games will occupy my mind before Rome II finally arrives.

I've been watching the HBO series 'Rome'.. quite excellent actually.

I've been watching the HBO series 'Rome'.. quite excellent actually.

Same here - watching HBO/BBC's Rome (finished the two seasons actually, but I'm thinking about re-watching them) and playing a lot of Roma Surrectum II. I'm also playing some Fifa 13 and League of Legends but that's about it.

[Toho]

I am doing other things I used to do before rome 2 got announced and what is up with these threads? they are really pathetic. is your life now on standby mode until you get to play a video game? jesus...

[Sharpe]

Going to Wimbledon to watch the tennis with a group of friends, rugby pre-season, and night work!

Pretty busy!

Also just bought the whole Boudicca book series off Amazon.

[Spartacus041]

I think I'm gonna re-watch all of HBO's Rome (2 seasons) over the next to months and just immerse myself in Roman literature and movies in general.

[familyguy1]

Company of Heroes 2.

[Raikou]

Watched Heaven & Earth 1990 film (if you haven't seen it watch it !) and playing some Shogun 2

Just finished God's & Generals extended cut playing American Civil War 3.5 MOD as the confederates. Plan on getting ready for school this fall and filming a new Decisive Battle series with a few folks on these forums

[Historyaswas]

[Travisfv]

Making money. Converting one room into a new entertainment center for the house and then when Rome II is released, I will be enjoying it in the best way possible.
