Hi Guys,

I just found the Rome II Intro - i think that deserves a new Topic.

http://www.gamestar.de/videos/specia...e-2,71178.html --> it start right after the stupid Commercial.

As all the stuff that I saw today about rome 2: AWESOME!

What do you guys think??

I'll update the post later with a YouTube link as soon as one is available.

Have you noticed how in the MAP they still Have

Chromasmia?

along as many other type names mismatches and errors .

Kill the elephant.

Kill the elephant.

Parthians got a deep personal hatred for all things elephants, for them it is the elephant that is the enemy and not the Seleucid riding it.

Parthian intro: "Gods, I hate elephants! My grandfather hated them too, even before they put out his eyes! Did you think I would be out here on the frontier without good reason? Yes Parthia need a strong frontier. No Parthia does not need unwashed elephants at her gates. So that's why I am here, the leader of the Parthiai, to shove Parthian cock into stinking elephants. Revenge? That will be good to... This war against the elephants will not last long, and when it is done I got plans! This is all about extermination, extermination of the hated elephant enemy. Going down that road means dealing with all my rivals: the camels, the horses, those Carthaginian elephant lovers! Wardogs and incendry pigs too! After all, the man who kills elephants, blots out the sun and one day I will be Xerxes!"

Am I the only one getting the 404 error?

[Jackie Chan's Brother Wang...]

Am I the only one getting the 404 error?

Nope, I'm getting it too, did CA ask them to take it down I wonder?

[jamreal18]

Where are the other factions???

[Coxy]

gutted - would love to see this!

[DarrenTotalWar]

I uploaded this to my Youtube last night. this morning Craig from CA asked me to take it down, the video has been removed from everywhere, close/lock the thread.

[Inhuman One]

I'd like to see them redo the rome 1 intro cinematic with the same music, done with rome 2 total war engine. That would show how much it has progressed. If they dont do it, I hope fans will do it after release.

[alQamar]

link seems broken now or it has been removed.

[HannibalExMachina]

yeah, big deal CA, its a damn intro

[alQamar]

they have a very strict marketing that's why we have so much lack of information, so much unanswered questions, and that's why Al Bickham needs to try to replay the same battle for any magazine

CA is acting too professional for my taste. One day they will replace Al Bickham by a machine who is operating the game and do the talk.

On the plus side the machine might perform better than Al at those gameplay videos XD.

Although honestly i believe there are 2 reasons why CA decided to force Gamestar to remove the video.

1. CA was probably planning on showing this video a few weeks before release. It is most likely now that they might add some extra things to the intro to make it a bit more different. Nothing big or drastic, just a few more scenes.

2. Gamestar was the only site that talked bad about Rome II. They mocked both the Battle AI as well as the Campaign AI. CA gave them the rights to an exclusive video that not even IGN or Gamespot could put on their sites, yet Gamestar instead of thanking them, starts talking trash about them *not that i am defending CA. I know the AI will just be a bit improved from Shogun 2 and i do expect some retarded moves. But come on, CA is giving you exclusive content Gamestar; try not to ruin their good will.*
