I hope that along with epic game play, that they have good historical accuracy :)

The trouble with historical games is that they can only by historically accurate for the start date(s). After that, whatever happens is completely random. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a particularly exciting game.
I used to do actual stuff around here, don't you know?

I would be ever so grateful if you would visit my YouTube Channel :)

Sadly I am not detecting much of an increase in excitement, but it should be worth taking a look at.

Why not? I've wanted this for some time now, as long as it has the same kind of variety in units/factions as the original.

I'm sure it will be fun, but I don't think it will be able to top the original. I just see it as taking the same game and adding more bells and whistles (graphics, characters, boats, etc.), which are good, don't take me wrong, but... um... I don't know what point I'm trying to make... I think I might be turning into Jubal. :P

I am kind of with you on that comrade_general. I don't know how to feel at the moment, I mean I have spent so much time playing and now modding RTW. I feel as if nothing could ever replace it

I got pumped up really quickly to see one of my dying hopes to become true, but then I remembered all the crazy armadillo the TW series have gone through (some might say straight up prostitution of the series, dunno who *whistles* I just hate all the DLC crap, aight? :P ). But I just couldn't rest until I found some hard data. I think this is actually the first game ever I'll be so expectant to (I was rather aware of the BF3 development, but I never got the excitement feeling I get with knowing R2TW might come out).

I'm rather torn up, inside... on one hand, it might be really cool to see all the new things they want to implement, and although graphics never have been very important to me, I'm just plain curious to see how the game will actually look. On the other hand, there's RTW, with all it's modding capabilities, and just that overall nice feeling the engine gives you while playing that makes you feel at home (except for every moment you're confronted by the diplomatic changes ingame)... I guess I'll try to remain skeptical and not to build up too much hope... sometimes it's better to prepare for the worst.

Although we all know that we might get even less modding tools that the few ones there are for the Warscape Engine.

My last TW game purchased was the Kingdoms expansion.
