Total War Rome II Roman Triumph Pictures

Hey guys, so clearly some cool quick news see his continuing their promotional machine They have a new short trailer that's coming out now. There isn't too much actually new to it It's mostly a chopped down version of the faces of Rome trailer that fits into a 30-second Kind of TV and YouTube spotlight that they'll be spreading around really soon So if you see that, you know in your normal daily life, don't be alarmed Just be aware that total war is right around the corner So anyways, the video has some some kind of new moments and those moments include three Separate small shots all of the same thing and it's gonna be Romans celebrating a triumph So I'm guessing this occurs at the end of the prologue campaign when Solanus has you know Conquered the enemies of Rome's against the Sam Knights and he's been awarded a triumph so if you don't know a triumph is when a Successful general would have to be granted a triumph The Senate would propose it and then the people would ratify his triumph he would then proceed into Rome with his forces his army and Normally, you're not allowed to enter Rome under arms, but a special exception was made for triumphs that's when you paraded your legions and you would come in the General himself would come in in a chariot and he would have his face painted red to Represent the terracotta sculpture or statue I should say of the king of the the god Jupiter and he would come up and make a sacrifice at the temple and so he was supposed to be kind of like a god before his people but at the same time there was always supposed to Be a slave behind him holding up a laurel over his head and whispering into his ear all along saying you were just a man You were just a man. You were just a man And so that's you know The general would proceed that way and during that time the soldiers would move in The spoils of war would be shown off. They would read off how many enemy were killed How many were captured how many cities were taken all that stuff and they would list their achievements as well They would bring in all sorts of not only treasures, but also as I said prisoners of war and most importantly they would bring back political enemies so for example, if they had defeated a king and he was still alive, they would bring the king back and Normally, he would be ritualistically strangled at the at the end of the triumph So it was a pretty huge event And if you were able to celebrate one of these as a Roman general It would mean a lot for your political career and it would definitely secure you in the ranks of the the very notorious at Rome And so this is what you see here. So First image is the general Walking up to the temple and I'm guessing that's where he's gonna have the offering The next one here is gonna be the general with the laurel over his head and he's looking out over the people So, you know, I'm guessing this is gonna be Solanus and the next shot shows more of the Romans proceeding Just throughout the city. The city itself looks very very beautifully rendered so we can look forward to that in-game Definitely very cool. You know the the people we see here I'm guessing you're just gonna be for a cutscene, but it would be awesome if there were some way to have citizenry Moving around in your city during a siege to make it more realistic, but that's gonna be for future Total War games Anyways, that's gonna be about it. I will link you the short video spotlight So you can take a look at it for yourself. Otherwise, you know, we'll be seeing these videos hopefully hitting the TV soon So thanks so much. See you next time
