Still no phalanx... What are you hiding CA? TELL US!

"The people of our city will not forget this day. The sight of you will inspire the children to join the forces that keep us all safe. Foreign ambassadors will watch us and be cautious in their dealings with Rome, with the vision of our ranks always in their minds. Merchants will watch us and know there is something more in the world than making money. Women will watch us and compare their little husbands to the best of Rome! See your reflections in the eyes as we pass. You will give the people something more than bread and coin today; you will give them glory"

This is what this game will look like! It must!

How can you possibly be complaining about the egyptians when the:
a) they are the exact same units we have been shown so far
and
b) They are historically accurate.

Also, the guys ambushing are infact, Suebians

To b). No they aren't. Ptolemaics used natives in the army first time during the syrian war with Antiochos III, even they were phalangists.

WELL

Reminds me when I burnt Sparta to the ground in my Julii Campaign.

**blackheartz** · August 01, 2013, 03:39 PM

Awww the game looks so fine!!! Sparta just became my number one playthough, followed by Rome and the rest of Hellenes.

A touching video, for beauty and brutality. Rome is going to conquer you, world. And it will be an hard war!

Not that great imo

**Boicote** · August 01, 2013, 04:19 PM

I'm not going to see it today. I prefer to wait until I play this game for the first time

**IlluminatiRex** · August 01, 2013, 05:24 PM

It was beautiful.

**Hattori** · August 01, 2013, 05:54 PM

I still think the Hannibal trailer was the best they've done. Even thought there are so many great things in the intro it seems like a collage of random moments with no context. Also the way they framed the elphant dying was not flattering to the game's visuals at all with all those muddy textures up close. That being said it's still pretty awesome.
