Well I was more talking about seeing different era's in the whole roman history.
For instance: Kingdom,republic,empire (and one can split it even more). To me viewing 2000 years as one time, sounds a bit off

Hm, I just checked, and it seems Rome 2 is 242BC to 50AD, which does place it in Spartacus' timespan (~100BC). Somehow I thought the game took place later.

Actually, sounds a bit shallow, but anyway... |

its about the same time as spartacus. It will probably starts somewhere in 230bc and end in 460ad or something. That's where basically everything happened anyways.
i.e. i mean of course the third seville war is happening during the whole time frame.

From what I read, it has a 300-400 timespan. Don't know why I thought it was during a later phase of the Roman empire hmm... |

I think it quite bad sign for more hardcore TW players. The reason is that SEGA/CA marketers will take this as a sign that more simplistic campaign approach delivers better results aka more sales.
This can also be seen with the new action cam "zoom in" feature for action animation oriented battle. While pretty cool, realistically, more professional games don't have the to focus such details, because You'll be trying to win with least casualties possible and that request a lot of focus on the "big picture"

The first Rome had a zoom in action cam too. Middle click. I always wished it zoomed in more too, so if they have added that feature, I'm all for it.

And that's just the beginning.. factions DLCs, units, clans and battle packs, campaigns, blood pack v2 incoming as well.  They'll surely do everything in their power to butcher modding, who would pay for extra stuff when modders can make more interesting contents for free. Unless they intend to charge for mods too, that is. |

 I blame the current state of gaming that is fueling the pessimism these days. But maybe I should say realism  |

Just noticed that the pre-order for this on Steam is now a lot cheaper than before (at least in the UK)
http://store.steampowered.com/app/214950/
33% Off makes it £29.99, instead of the £44.99 it was before the pre-order discount kicked in.
