Famous Battle Sites

I noticed in rome total war BI that after a large battle there were two swords that showed that there was a great battle and who won. Will it be in this game and what qualifies as a famous battle?

I don't see why not. It was a nice little feature.

im pretty sure they are in, and just to let you know they were not only in BI but also the original RTW.

I would like to see this feature in M2TW, as Black Francis said, it was a nice little feature

Yeah, small little things like this add to the immersion. I liked it in RTW.

I wish however that the famous battle site icon had more description of the battle that had occurred than just who won and lost.

Sometimes when you got 2 famous victories on the same square, the game would crash. Has that been fixed yet?

jk lol

I'd like it if they added an indication of how heroic the victory actually was.. like adding the little "odds bar" you get before you started the battle.. it gives more meaning to those memorials that way

**pero** · November 01, 2006, 07:29 PM

yes that was really nice feature.
It would be good if they would give out a bit more details about the battle not just who won

**awisler** · November 01, 2006, 08:19 PM

yea more details to the battle would be nice.

while im thinking about it, wouldnt it be nice to be able to build memorials to generals of these greatest battles for a bonus wouldnt it? the better the victory, the better the bonus? would be awesome to have a statue of a general in your capital or whatever region the battle occured in, maybe even based on the chivalry, command or management, loyalty, and influence, you would be able to build a statue to that person. :hmmm:

**pero** · November 01, 2006, 09:10 PM

yeah that would be a great option as well. Of course it would be good if you could destroy those memorials as well you can build them.

**awisler** · November 01, 2006, 09:15 PM

yea, just make it like temples, how you can see it in your city tab with the pictures of the buildings, then you right click on it and destroy it. maybe even be able to upgrade them to larger memorials as your city grows?
