Official announcement

[unmerged(58901)]

I doubt posting that everywhere will help you much. And because of PC issues, I doubt <16 year olds will be able to marry. But if we are lucky, perhaps bethrothals?

Maybe it will get me more replies! What PC issues would come with less sixteen-year-olds marrying?

Hopefully one or more of the designers has played The Republic of Rome board game. It would be awesome if elements of the board game were incorporated into EU:Rome. It would be especially interesting to see a MP game where more than one player was playing a faction within Rome.

Wouldn't be at all shocking since EU was... a board game!

Opps, let's just sticky this one.

I believe Johan mentioned that he did.

Sometimes I think you're the prodigal son of Johan who showed up again in Feb 2002 =_='.

Seeing my BC thread is empty, were would I officially go to ask for it in BC - AD dates?

The more I read about it, the more it looks like this will be a kind of Crusader Kings 2, or CK 1 1/2.
In any case, there will be no historical events,which I dislike, but since it will be character driven, and I like CK, I think there should be no problem.

Balor say he played it here in post #29.

Hm, I've never played CK so I don't know anything about the game system really, but I hope the character portraits in Rome will look all different, cause the characters look so ugly in CK, from what I've seen...

Hey!


Decent graphics this time!

 

[Szabtom]

OK, I haven't read any comments on the board yet, just starting now, but where can I pre-order?
I hope we can expect a sexy boxed edition.

Hopefully we'll have a developer diary soon...

 

[J. Passepartout]

Between this and EU3 I need to buy my own computer and stop mucking around using the ones at the library.

It shouldn't be a PC thing considering it is something that was not taboo in historical settings.

But alas...

i don't quite know how to say this, so i'll just come out and say it: i love you paradox.

seriously, this is gonna be amazing. i'm a long time player of RTW but it was always very flimsy on the campaign side of things. a roman era game with family trees, political intrigue, and foreign conquest...i couldn't have asked for more.

god speed and good luck. i'm looking forward to it.

I want to see the family trees.

Could be interesting if PG sort out the bloody combat, BTW IS a new Combat engine being produced?

 

[FrEDa]

WOHOOO!




[using my rhetorical speaking voice (think James Earl Jones)]
Friends! Romans! Countrymen!

Honored members of the Senate,

I propose we grant Johan and the development team a Triumph! Let's say central Stockholm, finishing it off by 4 weeks of games and merriment at Stockholms Stadium!

All in favor?! Say Aye!

I second the question. How will the differeing unit strengths be modeled?

Vivat Paradox!!!
