Would you play Total War: Victoria?

Yeah, I love the victorian era, imperialism & nationalism and the industrial revolution!
Meh, maybe
No, I would rather play Medieval III
No, I would rather play Empire II
No, I would rather play TW: Warhammer (dunno if this is for reels)

Rome was by far the best of the series, combined with Empire and Napoleon.

I dig their new provinces implementation where every province contains several towns .

So many new stuff is going to be awesome!
What Augy said, new engine combining battle-map and GC which is going to make both look awesome, facial expressions from soldiers, huge combined naval/siege/land battles and the list goes on! Unfortunely we just need to wait another year :(

Despite the fact that I didn't enjoy Shogun 2, this is certainly a buy for me. I trust CA to do this better, even if it has less modding support.

Finally they actually arse themselves to improve and make new mechanics. Im pretty psyched. Rome was such a classic. This is prolly gonna be one too!

Just a bit more on the campaign, bothing specific though:

Quote from: Jack Lusted
Q. How much is the campaign changing?

A.
We’ve not talked about the campaign much so far, apart from a few little bits here and there, because we will not be revealing it for a while yet. This has led to some speculation that we are not changing how the campaign works much.

This is not true a lot is changing on the campaign for Rome II. From diplomacy, to trade systems, how regions work to armies and families the Rome II campaign will play differently to any previous Total War game adding more gameplay and depth without increasing unnecessary micromanagement.
It is going to be epic.

Can't wait for this game too. All the other Total War games have gotten boring now.

For as long as I can see my Schytian Horsearchers return, I'm good. Maybe give them more then 15 arrows as well.

Also, can Scythian Marines have horses. That'd be great.
