Total War: Rome II - Page 19

"I will find a way -- or make one."

These were the words of Hannibal; Rome's greatest enemy, and one of the finest minds in military history. He would come to conquer much of Italy during his wars with the growing Republic, but before this, he achieved the impossible. In one of the most daring gambits the world has ever seen, he attacked Rome in her own backyard.

This new ROME II trailer uses Hannibal's remarkable achievement to illustrate the multitude of ways players can outfox their opponents, and demonstrates the breath-taking scope and variety of the campaign map.

Getting pretty hyped! I love all the TW games ( even Empire ) anyone know the modability of Rome 2?

PC Gamer: So do you look at the mod community, do you factor in what they’re doing to your games after release and apply that to subsequent games?

James Russell: Well, you know, we keep ourselves aware of what’s going on and what people want and we do our best to listen to the community.

PC Gamer: How does modding and community support work alongside DLC, where a game grows in the direction you’re taking it in and the community independently does their own thing. What’s the appeal of supporting modders when you’ve got your own plan for the growth of the game?

James Russell: Well the appeal of supporting modders is that it creates engagement, it supports engagement with the game and modders can increase the lifetime of the product by creating content that they want to play with each other. But I don’t think we feel threatened by that in terms of producing our own content, we’re confident about what we do and I think we make great DLC content. And there are things that we can do, because, we can change the code and so on, that the modders couldn’t do.

New footage!

Lots of topics are rehashed in the interview, but tiny bit more info on the political system. More importantly though, new video to watch. Yay!

I feel like a Total War game would be the only type of game to do a ASOIAF game justice. Maybe a Europa could, but I want my Ned Stark in real time as well.

Europa Universalis and other paradox titles are in real time, not turn based. I assume that is what you were talking about) And there actually is a ASOIAF mod which is supposed to be really good for Crusader Kings 2. Considering that intrigue and diplomacy is a lot better modelled in that game when compared to TW and that that game is pretty much a Game of Thrones simulator in medieval europe anyways, it was kind of obvious that that mod would be made eventually.
