    Hannibal :3 he looks angry.

    Publius Cornelius Scipio is so much more awesome than his grandfather.

    The guy you labelled Octavian is meant to be Julius Caesar (or possibly Mark Anthony) since he is shown victorious at the Battle of the Nile, and Cleopatra calls him her 'lover'

    Voted Hannibal, that was the best trailer, though teetered towards Julius Caesar for ​THEY MUST BE PUNISHED

    Since he is the lieutenant given the order to attack, Tiberius Gracchus should really be on this poll. He was a pretty impressive guy: he tried to bring about history's first version of socialism, ensuring the poor have land to farm, and died for his principles

    meh Hannibal looks like a barbarian doesn't seem like someone from north africa but looks cool non the less and i can live with it, Cleopatra looked awesome(prettier XD) in the concept art but in the trailer looks kinda weird and varus looks like a pansy with that helmet, it could use some pelts around the neck given that Germania isn't really that hot, and it would make him look more like a roman commander, but thats just my humble opinion XD.

    The ones you tributed t Scipio , Octavian are random faces used almoust here and there in every trailer while the one of Varus is purpousely made ugly and unatractive to make a opposition to the one of Arminius that bviously shows more care .
    Kind of biased orientation by CA in depiction of Romans vs barbarics , that instead look better and more detailed and focused models ... romans got instead generic and bland work , lacking the same attention to detail and cool aspect ... especially bisible in the selection screen of the Roman factions were they most look ugly and nothing special seems .

    They are not random. Scipio is used only in siege of Carthage videos, and only ever leading the troops. James Russell even introduced him as 'the young Scipio Aemilianus'
    They did have Caesar/Mark Anthony saying 'they must be punished in a lot of videos' because it's a good quote, however his model is only shown in videos relating to Egypt ... he is also consistent
    These are not random faces: they always come in the same context, with the same armour and same hair. Rome 2 will be strongly narrative driven. I often wonder, do you hate CA with a passion?

    No , if you been more carefull you woul dsee the same Presumed Octavian / antonius whatever face is used for the same tutoring introduction , the macedonian gameplay AI show , the Cartago Delenda est kind of video , the seveal shots of Cleopatra trailer and finally even in Hannibal ...
    so either he is the last of the Imortals or is just a Random roman guy used to fill any role as they couln't care less to portray any Roman general apart that one .

    Whoever that guy is, Prom, he certainly is everywhere.
    Do you think that he is maybe just the "Roman Advisor"?

    For example, you see in the Nile gameplay when they opened up diplomacy with the Egyptians and they spoke to that guy representing Egypt? Do you think that the Roman guy we're seeing is in the equivalent position that that specific Egyptian was in? So for someone playing as a different faction, they would see that guy representing Rome in diplomacy?

    They used his voice actor a lot, but his model only for Mark Anthony
    I'm afraid though if you keep at this I'm going to have to concede - not because I agree with you but because I can't be bothered to argue with you. It's very wearing

    Well is no problem if you refuse to see the evidence because I posted to you , but then just look ... evidence , that guy model is used everywhere just as DogSoldierSPQR stated as well .

    Also the Model of Scipio to me looks just like the many soldiers used around and at the time of the first Carthage video they had much less variety .

    Also look how most of the Generals do have the same faces in the preview faction choice screen , actually Carthaginian family members and Roman do have the same faces .

    Also I find what you said about "arguing" with me quite borderline insultive , like if I am saying crap all time .
    You can surely read and listen to all the fanatical posts of the spammer / flamers or instead you can use your own brain and think for yourself if I am right or not , then you will see the difference .
    That said I have not insulted you by saying that arguing or answering you it is "wearing" .

    Ok..... Thanks for the off-topic rant sir .

    I would say I liked Hannibal the most, because when he was marching through the alps in the "Find a Way trailer" he looked very determined to march to Rome and destroy it.

    LMAO!

    I am not at all sure how you decided Varus looks ugly and purposely was made to look ugly, while Arminius was made to look attractive. Frankly they both just look look like CG generals too me, but then again I dont search for hidden messages in game trailers and think CA is behind some secret conspiracy to shaft the Romans. The Romans are generic? Once again lmao. If the Romans were truly generic, then why did CA bother implement reforms for their army, why didn't they just give them just the stereotypical lorica segmenta wearing soldiers only?
