Don't worry, won't be anything near as bad as the start of last game. This time in staying at home as far as I can remember. The main problem I had was lack of Internet access except for the occasional stolen 5 minutes in a service station, but as I'm at home I'll have fairly decent Internet.
It'll just be a small inhibitor if any, I just wanted to be honest upfront before it starts is all.
So hyped for Rome 2: Total War
