Anyone excited for this?

Yes, I really liked Total War: Rome /Barbarian Invasion. It was so special for it's time .

[Mattdamon07]

Surprisingly not, (I wanted Victorian: Total War or Empire 2) for one, CA doesn't know how to balance MP for crap (i.e Shogun 2 loan sword spammers, hold firm yari ashigaru, matchlock spammers, monk spam, 70 reload heavy gunners, the list continues), overpriced DLC ($5 for 1 faction with the same units as every other faction REALLY? , "Get Carthage if you preorder/buy our iOS game, or Buy our $7.50 "Blood DLC" so you can see something that should of been free) and no moddability (still no campaign editor for NTW or ETW even though we were promised one).

end of anti CA rant.

shogun 2 total wars factions are supposed to have a limited a variety of units because of it just being in Japan

Well they were the pre-order factions, stuff that got tooken off the main release. Its true that they aren't supposed to have a big variety but $5 per faction is quite a hefty price for a different starting location and a few minor bonuses. Also they did this with NTW but with $2 hero and pre order units EACH. Empire was slightly better as they sold mostly good dlc (except warpath which was trash).

Also its better just to get the all factions mod which lets you play as ALL factions, which is nice.

yeah but anyway Rome II will not disapoint you, it's supposed to be the best one yet

Yes! I played RTW, BI and Shogun II for a long time and sometimes i play these games still.
I was particularly pleased with the announcement of RTW 2, because RTW is my absolute favorite game of this.

Tbh I was hoping for a Total War: WWI (yes I know there is a mod for Napoleon and one for CoH) as it will be the centennial of WWI in a brief two years. And god knows we haven't had any WWI games in.... well... not sure how long, but for a while.
