[Lionheartx10]

Hey All!

Recently back in July I was lucky enough to be invited to attend a Press Day in Rome on the set of HBO's Rome for a preview Event for Rome 2 with the Creative Assembly. I've had to respect the embargo on releasing all the information and footage from the event... until now! So below please enjoy the various videos I have made from the Event!

A General Vlog about the Whole Event:

Cheers Lionheart a nice insight into the game, do you know by any chance what faction you'll be playing as in your first Rome II Let's Play?

Rome. Iceni and Sparta. (even though he'll correct me.)

Haha well Rome is a definite, Iceni and Sparta are both leading their respective polls as the 2 other LP's I'll be doing for Rome 2's launch. So 3 in total

Play as an eastern faction.

One thing I found interesting was the ability to assign groups of units to AI control to reduce micro. Makes me hopeful that we'll get a good mod to implement 40 units per stack, or hell, maybe even 60 or 80 seeing as how if I ever get overwhelmed with the amount of units I have to manage I can use the AI to compensate by essentially splitting my force in to 3 or 4 different armies.

[Semper_Fidelis]

Thanks mate. I can't wait for your LP's although I hope that I can fit it in with my schedule considering most of my schedule will be filled with playing Rome II!

[Cell7]

I wonder who played this battle at CA, bet it wasnt Al Bickham seeing how whoever played actually won!

[Raikou]

No

[Sherm]

[Wittman]

Absolutely stirling work old chap+rep (Come and fellahs he deserves a spot of reppage for all of his hard work)... thanks for the heads up, and all that

If you notice the when the Romans throw the pilla at 2:47 on the battle gameplay video the shields broke and were lying on the ground with pilla stuck in them. That is simply amazing.
