Rome Total war 2

iggyigauna89

I was always after one of those ornamental chess sets and put a lot of consideration into getting the Shogun 2 Special Edition. That came with a chess board that had miniature models the units as the pieces. Decided against it as I couldn't guarantee that the pieces would be good quality!

Just a heads up in case you lads don't frequent the gaming bargains thread.

Rome II TW is available to pre-prder (with the Greek DLC pre-order bonus) on Nuuvem for ~€25 for the next ten hours. Pretty much the cheapest it is anywhere I think.

Just got this, paid €26 after the currency conversion. Presume that this wont be all in portugese and that I can just chance the language in game

This is still available now by the way.

On the subject of buying things from exotic locations.... here's a map of all trade routes in the game, for those capitalists amongst you. It actually isn't all that interesting, but meh - I'm posting it anyway. :pac:

Would love to delve straight into an online game if there is interest for it.
Can't really devote too much of my life to it but maybe an hour two nights a week. (Will be the longest game in history!)

iggyigauna89

I'd definitely be up for a game at some stage. I'd have to find my feet a bit in the campaign first though!

MP has been scaled back a bit for RII though hasn't it? Must have a look at what we can actually do.

Think there are certain modes where you control smaller armies but I don't think 3 v 3 wold he scaled back more

Accommodation in Dublin is mind numbingly expensive!

I'm nearly sure it's 3v3 still. Though don't quote me on that!

I know it's practically impossible for it to happen due to licenses etc but how good with a full pay fledged Lord of the Rings Total War be. I know of the mod which I couldn't get working anyway but watching Lord of the Rings over the past few nights and thinking how good the game would actually be. Sieges in particular would look fun haha

Fingers crossed they tackle the warhammer 40k universe first, which they are meant to have a licence to.
After that I must admit I am a medieval fan , but LOTR would be cool too.

Was never a fan of war hammer but if it ends up like a total war game I'd probably try it. Heard they won't do a third of any game but that could be just a rumour. Honestly would love a medieval 3. Loved medieval 2 the most out of all the total war games.

Keggers2

I feel like I've planted this whole betrayal idea in yeere heads :pac:

I'm a bit of a warhammer fan myself, and as much as I'd love to see what they could do with 40K, I'm much more interested to see what they could do in the Warhammer Fantasy world. There was a mod for Medieval Two that didn't quite run on my computer, but was awesome when it wasn't crashing. Really showed off the potential!

Oh and Third Age Total War is DEFINITELY worth the play if you're hankering for some grand scale Lord of the Rings goodness!

Out of Interest where have people ordered this game from ?
Wheres the best spot to include extras etc such as factions.

I got it on steamtrades but that's only if you can find a reliable trader(i can link you to one)Rome 2 plus DLC for €26.
Few pages back there's a website selling it for the same price I think

Any official/reputable retailer should have the Greek States DLC for free with a pre-order. Don't think there are any other extras being offered by anyone except for (sigh) TF2 items being offered by Steam.

I got mine from a trader on Steamtrades.com. 17-18 TF2 keys seems to be the average asking price over there, which is currently worth €26-28 real money. And it will be an actual Steam giftable copy which you can add to your library immediately (rather than waiting for a code).

If you don't mind waiting for a code to be emailed to you, Nuuvem are offering it for even cheaper, at €25ish.

Sephiroth_dude

I still haven't pre ordered lol .

I wasn't going to, and still might not.
But I realised yesterday im off that week so it might be a good week to buy a game.

Its either that or hold tough till Christmas after exams.

Well put it this way if you Pre order you essentially get 50% extra free (even for €26) because there's 9 starting factions then you get the 3 Greek DLC factions and then Pontus free on day one. So that's 4 factions free.

I'm not back till September 9th so I'm looking to make the most of that week. Would love if they made it available September 2nd on steam then it would be a full week.

McSasquatch

Added a few of ye there on Steam. If I missed anyone, shout out.

I'm ltsmashie on stream, but don't have any games on it yet though so don't know if I can be added. I pre-ordered the game off of that Brazilian website.

iggyigauna89

Would I be right to be a small bit worried about the multi-player not being fully functional and buggy on release? Was there not a patch needed for Shogun to get some major bugs out of the multi-player?

Not that it worries me too much, I'll be perfectly happy conquering the Mediterranean in single player!

Ill definitely be having my own campaign going anyway. I may work on it myself for the first week so anytime after that I'd be up for trying a MP campaign.

Looking forward to this. May buy it now through nuuvem, hopefully I will have received and built my pc by the release date....having a bit of a delay, unfortunately.

Just after building a new pc myself with this game in mind! Hope you get it on time!

Nice. This game was very much in my mind for it, and had been wanting to build one for a few years, but never really could save much.
Hopefully I get it on time, indeed. At the moment, it's just the mouse holding up my order...but the RAM and the case might now be a problem, have sent them another email to see what the fecking story is.


Now, should I now have an email from the wonderful folks at nuuvem with the code for the game, or will I get that later?

I was the same. Got all the parts and built it myself. Had rome 2 and "console games" in mind(so I wouldn't have to get a next gen console)

As far as my basic understanding of Portuguese goes, we will get in in our games profile on the site? I think?? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Have any of you got EU4 from there?

Ah yes, that makes sense. Cheers.

New lets play with multiplayer shown off. Tons of new info as well https://www.youtube.com/embed/XEXBGOrh13I

BTW either she's trying to provoke me or I just have a really dirty mind but she can't seem to stop saying dirty things. Apparently he took her from behind at one stage and she also calls them tight alleys. I'm starting to thing I just have a dirty mind. 3 months of doing nothing will do that to you haha
