Thank God. I've been salivating for this one for weeks. I plan to spend months launching dead cows into enemy cities.

Actually, they usually work like this. S:TW -> M:TW was not really an improvement on the engine, just fine-tuning and a change of location. R:TW was a full engine upgrade, and now M:TW2 will be just fine-tuning and a change of location. The next game will likely be a full engine upgrade again.
The gap between games (Rome and Medieval 2) certainly doesn't seem to be the leap that was apparent between Medieval and Rome.
They're probably just milking the cow. The game is quality though, which is more than can be said for a lot of sequels.

It isn't a sequel to Rome; it's the sequel to Medieval.I'm not sure if you were replying to me, but yes, I understand that. However, Rome was the last game in the series, so I think Medieval 2 should bring something new to the series. From my playtime with the demo (which didn't include the campaign map), it seemed to be Rome in the Medieval universe. In other words, the units were different, but that seemed to be about it. Was this game designed for people who didn't play Rome because of the setting?
Piss jugs FTW!
Thanks, but I think my post implied I knew about that kind of stuff. I'm more interested in whether the game will actually play differently. In other words, will city sieges involve different strategy? And so on. I just want to know if it's worth buying. If it's essentially the same game with new units and graphics, I'd rather pass.
It allows you to play as a long haul trucker and earn points thru speedy delivery and truck stop hijinx!
If they brought back the old style campaign maps I'd be more interested.

Seige sucked in Rome TW. If they can get the castle sieges done correctly then this game will rock.
Ahhem. cough cough. Gurgle
Wooooooohooooooo.
Wooooooohooooooo.
i cant wait to download this
I think the point is that Medieval and Rome are in a way like apples and apples... Granny Smith and Red Delicious maybe, but still apples/apples. 
It isn't a sequel to Rome; it's the sequel to Medieval.

What exactly is new from Rome: Total War, besides better graphics and a different time period? Don't get me wrong, I found the demo pretty fun, but I couldn't exactly see what had been changed.

Some retailers in Europe inadvertently already shipped it to a few lucky customers last week. 
Roar. Make us wait 4 more days than the Europeans eh?!
