Well maybe Oriental Empires will scratch the China itch that many of us have. Fake edit: Apparently early access is available on Steam, so if anyone has tried it let me know.

I totally support revisiting older titles and giving them new content, if they choose to go down that road. Imagine an Imjin War expansion for Shogun II or more Napoleon content, etc. I don't know if you could stretch Attila to the Medieval age but that would be cool too.

Probably because the Pax Romanica isn't a good time period for a war game by definition. The borders of the empire didn't really change much and most of the wars were short civil wars or short campaigns against barbarians.

At least that's only a mod thing here and the devs didn't put something stupid like, say, "Svidjob" into the base game.

I hope the hero units aren't too over the top. I want the heightened history of, say, John Woo's Red Cliffs not full Dynasty Warriors, imo.

Meh. As someone who has spent a year in China and has made a serious effort to learn Mandarin, I've learned to take the pronunciation issue in stride. My tones are always wrong anyways, so its not like I'm doing it right either. Now Wade-Giles, on the other hand, bugs the hell out of me.

There are only 4 real types of English. Think of them as quadrants on a grid. They are: Southern, Limey, Jamaican, and Normal. (Normal is Midwestern American)

Shogun 2 is one of the best games in the series. Also it sounds like you mean the original Rome because Rome 2 is actually newer than Shogun 2?

I can play Warhammer fine on high or Ultra or whatever the highest is but Napoleon refuses to even give me the option You have to go into the preferences file in AppData>Roaming>Creative Assembly>Napoleon:Total War and change the gfx_video_memory value to something absurdly high. I know this because I just bought a new computer and had the exact same issue.
