Don't forget the client will probably be unstable as fuck. That's the main reason i won't play multiplayer the first day. | ||

Is there mutiplayer campaign or just the usual quick battles/ladder battles I used to get so obsessed with Civ 4 mutiplayer games with friends that would take weeks. | ||

That was so awesome! You always save your game and pass the save file along. We got to 70 rounds or something. Felt like an awesome version of chess. Im dreaming of a multiplayer campaign with 8 people. There are some issues with wait times and battles but i really think you can make it work if you have a good system and some dedicated people for it. | ||

I second this. The real time element makes it a bit harder than Civ but still... it would be awesome | ||

As long as that + some bugs are all that's wrong, then I am fucking excited!!! Man I actually can't believe this is happening, like I genuinely have been hoping for this for years, with an intensity and fervour that surpasses almost all other desire I have had for other games. Depends how bad it is. I just hope it at least tries to do some sensical actions. I don't mind if the AI is easy to beat on equal footings but it should at least make a plausible formation, not suiciding general, defending walls in sieges... At least that. And campaign AI dont make only archer armies or never being able to get more than 1 or 2 provinces... things like that. Offensive field AI was alright in Shogun 2. Deffensive field AI had some really bad behaviour though (sometimes it was just making lines of Yari Ashigaru on a huge line across the map). I guess Siege AI was not too bad but the sieges in shogun 2 sucked pretty bad either way, biggest issue was the AI never making a sortie. Naval battles never made sense to me in that game. I'll see and anyway like any TW game, mods save the day. Edit: 85% http://www.pcgamer.com/review/total-war-rome-2-review/ Edit 2: Eager to see how well my i5 2500 @4.5Ghz + GTX570 will fare for this game. | ||

1. combart ai is pretty dumb, with the ai suiciding its general from way back in Total War till now unchanged. Honestly, id rather they just completely abstract them away because the death of a general = morale loss = you win battle you should have lost and 2.

I'd bet they look that way purely for cosmetic effect. Look at the faction page. CA sounds like they're making sure Egypt is properly Greek-ified. | ||
