WTH is with this? I can not name one SUPERHERO (Miller's "300" is NOT a superhero comic) comic book that has ever gone to the Roman time period. This is a VERY bizarre choice. Whatever happened to the surveys about what kind of content that the players were given way back when? I seem to remember COOL things like a lunar base or underwater settings... Unless theyre going to introduce mythological beasts such as hydras and cerberus, this is going to be VERY lame.
I was playing this game to play in SUPERHERO settings...
Any thoughts on this roman thing?

There's all the Savage Land / Barsoom stories, plus the Asterix comics, the HG Wells time travel stuff, Jules Verne legends... any time you get into time travel, there's a question as to why you limit yourself to the "modern age" or equivalents.
Up until now we've been in a sort of "Sliders" multiverse, where we're still in the same Era, only with different permutations. NOW, we get to travel out of our native era, and into one that is radically different.
I fail to see how this is bad... you're right in that it's "not what the players asked for" but was probably the most awesome idea to make it onto the "We can implement this for I12" list.

Warriors are Greek based right? so Romans aren't that far fetched
