It looks like it may not suck.

HOWEVER:
Many of us have been burned in the past and might be leary. I am one of those people.
Shogun 2 was damn good. Warhammer was not so great. I have no idea if Warhammer 2 was decent because I was too ticked off to spend money on it.

Here's hoping for the best.

My main concern is how linear the research is and how lame the campaign AI is . I do think there needs to be more research behind the armor, tactics, and weaponry and the heroes defiently need something more than gravitas perks. Conquering an undefended city of Rome was also boring as hell too. Don't get me started on Attila -- just felt like I was chasing around hordes as they kept escaping my attacks while they burned everything insight.

Oh boo - the Divide Et Impera mod for Rome TW II is keeping me entertained. Easily one of the best mods out there and actually makes the game a whole lot more challanging with bigger armies, tougher AI, manpower scripting, better hero management, and longer battles. Makes you think unpaid modders can make such good work, what the hell are they doing in the studios?
