    Icon4 Creative Assembly, show us some eastern factions : Greece and Parthia

    I'm a great fan of Rome and Carthage but not so much the barbarians and I enjoy all the info ur giving out to us about these factions with the battles and some close up unit pics but I would really like you to move on to some eastern factions now such as Athens, Parthia, Sparta, etc and show us more about these factions as we haven't yet seen much on them. The only thing I've seen about the Greek factions is from the dlc which is less than 10 second clips of each faction. Parthia, i've only seen a couple of pics of and I would really like to know how they differ from the pyjama (English spelling) dudes of Rome 1 both in the way they look and fight.

    I thought Pontus was one of the playable factions?

    Blasphemer!



    But seriously I would love too see a naval battle between Athens and Sparta followed by a land battle between Parthia and the Seleucids.
    Anything with some naval battles in it...



    please...

    Great post OP! Keep up the great posting!

    I wholeheartedly believe that CA should deliver information on the eastern factions on on its own time, and as they see fit. After all, it is their game!

    CA has done the best historical research as possible, so if you're interested in how Parthia is going to look I'd recommend buy an Osprey book on the subject. Osprey actually uses TW games for it's historical research and CA uses time machines for theirs!

    Original poster. And Terryn is right about those Osprey books; when the Parthian cataphracts were first previewed in a screenshot, I recognised them instantly from Osprey artwork!

    You know he was being sarcastic? And he's talking about Rome II. He also meant that Rome II is so perfect Osprey is copying them.

    No need for the sarcasm.

    I'd like to see more details of the Hellenistic and Eastern factions, but I'll happily wait for the release - you don't want all the surprises ruined!

    we have not seen a bit about great Parthia empire in the game.

    even the last video about Carthaginian was not all right it was like pre loaded content rather than game itself.

    Well at least I hope it's not another scripted historical battle. Started hating those to be honest.

    I agree in respect to not having shown enough units form other factions. But that's really nothing to worry about now that we are getting so close to release.

    Well they showed Rome because...well, Rome. Egypt got shown because of it's unit variety (Elephants, chariots, light infantry etc.) I wouldn't be surprised if they did a couple more "Let's Plays..." before release and show Rome v. Parthia (or horse archers).

    They will hopefully feature Eastern factions in a "Let's Play Rome II" video over the next four weeks. If not, the game is right around the corner at this point so I'm pretty much indifferent.
