So are you in? Just practice a ton once you buy the game. Or if you have Medieval: Total War already, then practice with that.

Hmm do you think this game will be more taxing on a computer then UT2004?

Sure you can join, write down what name you want to use in the banner thread and I don't think it will be more taxing.
As I said a couple of posts ago, if you can play C&C generals then you will be able to play Rome.

No, I don't think so. The shadowing has less calculations then UT2004 and all the newer games like that. The shadowing can really slow down your computer if you have extra shadowing put in like that in Doom 3 and Half-Life 2. Rome: Total War has a different type of shadowing, and although it is not as pretty looking as HL2 or Doom3, it doesn't sacrifice much performance. So, long as your machine is fairly up to date (let's say you bought a decent computer in the last three years), you'll be able to run the game on default settings no problem.

But if you an UT2004 fine on your machine, you are baically all set.

Oh yeah and who would win in a battle on flat plains (asuming their valour, weapon, and armor were all at 0): Feudal Men-at-arms or Feudal Seargents and explain why?
Maybe.

Yes, its been awhile though, and I didnt play online much.

How many of each are there?

Feudal Sergeants have 200, Men-At-Arms have 128. The ground is flatland.

But don't worry about it man, it was sort of meant to be joke.

Oh yeah, and the campaign map is no longer Risk-style as in, you cannot move anywhere you want in one province. But to make up for that, there's going to be a continous 3-D map covering the whole of northern Africa, Western Middle East, Europe, and eastern Asia. There's going to be about 10,000 different maps you can fight on, compared to STW's 300 or less maps.
