The game has gone gold

[TB666]

Rome total war has gone gold and will soon be shipping out to the stores.
The day is coming closer.
So start saving money for it.

 

[Thanatopsis123]

Woohoo!

Soon, the Brutii will die at my hands.

 

[TB666]

hehe
That's the spirit.
Can't wait until my germanic army is inside the walls of rome and then I continue south.
I just hope the barbarians can fight in the desert

 

[Thanatopsis123]

I just went and reserved it at my local EB. Forgot to get my change though.

Oh same here! I've been waiting to play the Germans for quite some time now.

I really have no idea what I am going to do when I first play the game. There's so many different choices to choose from.

 

[TB666]

Be a roman faction

 

[Theredintheskyisours]

No fucking way! I probably won't even play the campaign first.

I'll play a historical battle (Teutoburger Wald), probably at least.

And then I'll play the stupid Romans. No, they look pretty cool because of their unit variety and the cities are going to look sweet. Plus it's Rome.

And I'll be the Julii first. I want to head north so badly.

 

[TB666]

Yeah, I'm gonna be the Julii as well.
Probably because they actually won the civil war in real life and watching those red soldiers looks so cool.
Has a very commie feeling over them

 

[Ratatosk]

I want to do a wedge formation so badly.

 

[TB666]

You can do it in the demo you know

 

[Thanatopsis123]

You all see the Roman faction intros at IGN? They're all asses. Crushing Rome will be a pleasure.

 

[TB666]

Yeah, they all seems insane and very pissed off

 

[Thanatopsis123]

Indeed. Now the question is: Which faction do I want to burn Rome first (after the obligatory once through with a Roman faction anyway)?

I'm thinking Carthage, Greek City States, or Germans. It'll be fun either way though.

 

[TB666]

They will all offer different styles of fightning so I will try them all but the barbarian fits me pretty much so they will be my favorites.

 

[Theredintheskyisours]

Yeah, I agree.That Roman factions feels the most Roman. I just can't picture Romans in green. And plus you will probably head north first; a place I have dieing to conquer, because it is my favorite part of Roman history; Caesar's Gallic campaign.

 

[Thanatopsis123]

You know, I thought onagers were bad enough but now I find out that the Romans have a repeating ballista. Damn.
