Latest Rome Total War Updates

[Anonymous]

If you haven't dropped by the official site lately you should as each week they post 3D Unit updates.<br>
<br>
www.totalwar.com/<br>
<br>
<br>
The developer has basically redone all units over the past couple of months and the results are stunning.<br>
<br>
The latest unit is the Carthaginian Sacred Band Infantry. Perhaps not completely accurate from a historical stanpoint but I can tell you that ancient soldiers never looked better on the PC.<br>
<br>
You can check out the IGN pre-E3 Preiview here for more info. shots from the latest biuld;<br>

I have to say, the articles I've been reading in <em>Computer Gaming World</em> and <em>Computer Games</em> magazines have really looked great. No doubt about it -- Rome:Total War is going a dimension beyond Medieval and Shogun!<br>
<br>
I did have to laugh at one amusing screenshot that managed to show cavalrymen in lorica segmentata and crested legionary helmets, while their legionary infantry counterparts were wearing cavalry-appropriate kit: crestless cav-type helmets and chainmail with shoulder doubling.<br>
<br>
Couldn't they all do a one-for-one swap?<br>

the trailer looks great. I see that the "flaming catapults" are also back... <p>Professionals built the Titanic, amateurs built the ark<br>

Yea; those are a bit over the top (pun intended), but I think the trailer is an example of "everything but the kitchen sink" approach to previews. I think that the actual battles will have a bit more organization.<br>

...and download the VOP file dated 06/29. It is a GameStar preview. It is in German - and you will need VLC version 7.2 to play it - but it does give you a nice preview of what the final product will look like.<br>

Anyone have an Idea on what the Sys req's are going to be? i am running an old pentium 3 900+ processor 512 ram and my video ai am not sure of but it plays everything currently out there. Thanks - Johnn/ Octavianus <p></p><i></i>

Consensus indicates the following;<br>
1 Gig CPU<br>
AT LEAST 512 Mgs of RAM<br>
64 Mg graphics card - and don't use MX cards as they are crap.<br>
<br>
You can't do much about your CPU - but upgrade your card if you need to - older 64 Mg cards are cheap.<br>

Octavianvs: try going to start>run and type in "dxdiag". Go to the display tab to see the name of your graphics card and how much memory it has (under "Approx. Total Memory"). I know this works with windows 98se and I'm pretty sure it works with xp office/pro as well.<br>
<br>
1GHz+ CPU's can be found very cheap, but whether they'll be compatible with your motherboard I'm not sure. However I'm sure with a little bit of researching you could find a CPU that would work for a decent price.<br>

Yea. I should have added that CPU upgrades are mobo limited. I would also add that - if you don't have 1 Gig of at least DDR RAM and a 256Mg vid card - you are probably better off upgrading these items than you are the CPU.<br>

the video card is nvidia gforce2 64mb and it says pci bus.. will my sub gig processor be a problem? i am not even really worried about online play I would just like to be able to play it. as my vehicle just died I now have to get a new one so the new computer is put off till next year. <p></p><i></i>

Your G2 can be upgraded cheaply to a G4 - have someone tell you of you have an AGP slot on your mobo. The go out and get a G4 for less than $100.00<br>
