    Don't get me wrong here, I like the intro. But if this is the actual official intro video, why didn't CA make a thread about it and post the video themselves on there youtube channel? I mean they did with all the other trailers, so why not this one?

    That's a good point, but the site that posted it (Gamestar) said it was the intro and it looks too well done (in addition to the new footage) to be doctored.
    ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ- come and take them!

    Nice intro.

    I don't mean to be nitpicky but for the love of god I hope the fix the crest on the centurion's helmet.

    Well, I saw the Intro and I saw Egyptians looking Egyptian. And I hope that we were shown a ragtag garrison of weakest units. Those Greek style units just must be somewhere. I hope.

    So basically it's a trailer about the movie 300? I guess my 9 year old nephew will like this

    Better than 300: Rise of an Empire, although what empire and what 300 the title is alluding to I have no idea.

    Oh I just hate the Spartan faction. the only reason it was added was flare for the people that think the 300 movie is 100% accurate and evidence of that is on the main total war page where 80% of the commenters on the post "Which faction will you play first?" is commented with "SPARTAA!!! (some famous line from the movie 300) "

    and also the fact that one of Lionheartx10's first fan voted LP will be, you guessed it, SPARTA !!!!!!!! (pretty sure it's winning by a landslide of about 1000 more votes than any others)

    I understand it's a genius way to draw in even more new comers to the series with the big bad Spartans but I would've preferred Dacians over a spartan faction in the Vanilla game or ANYTHING really besides them. I believe we will see the Dacians later on actually since Sparta and Dacia were hinted at on one of the official total war pages on facebook (Sparta obviously wins)

    I'm sure Sparta has a rich history of warfare but it's more likely they are in because of the movie 300 rather than their actual history.

    Notice how the trailer focuses a lot on naval combat? What Greek City State was famous for its navy? They also formed the Delian League which was a de facto empire.

    As for you saying the Egyptians are historically accurate and they lost their clothes when they moved to Egypt, the soldier in this trailer looks like a Machimoi soldier or native Egyptian. Macedonians, Greeks, Thracians, and Galatians kept their native armor and arms and fought as they did in their native lands. So the Macedonians in Ptolemaic service would still look, act, and fight like Macedonians.

    Maybe those soldiers are later units amiright?

    Yep, the Spartan ruled Delian League!

    Nahh, don't think that's a later unit, chariots fell out of use by then, Mithridates was the last to use them I believe.

    EDIT: They kept the "300" brand in the title so you know it's a sequel I'm sure.

    Yet still more realistic than the original Rome:Total War trailer. I'm still unclear as to what game that was...

    I wonder if mass homo orgies will be a choice for the Spartan army.
