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)

In the Eurogamer interview they confirmed that we will see the old battlefields we have fought on before to make ambushes better etc. I know it's only about the battlefields you've been on before, but it's still a big improvement.
I dear hope they make ambushes better!

They seems to improve it a lot. With deployable defences(both agressive and defensive), the line-of-sight features and the new feature that enables you to play on maps you've used before to pick it better it all seems a lot better IMO :)

I'm sure they'll be able to understand it as the touching homage it's meant to be.

Cautious optimism:

Yup, good to see the native phalangites look sufficiently hellenized. I guess we'll have to see what the rest of the units look like though... the bit about the scythed chariots worries me. :-\

Some Rome II campaign map rumors says there will be 117 factions in the game...  Aka, no rebels only factions.
