Daaave Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 The only thing that's stopping me getting more excited about this game is whether my pos computer can run it. Hopefully we'll get some idea of the specs soon. Just because you're a bit thinner than your even fatter mum it doesn't mean you're in excellent physical shape, if you could fit through the door and view the normal people you'd notice that cheeseburger boy.

alanschu Posted September 6, 2006 Author Share Posted September 6, 2006 I think they have mentioned that if you can play RTW, you shouldn't have too much difficulty in playing M2TW. It just won't looks as nice as the screenshots. Of course, if you are having trouble playing RTW... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musopticon? Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Ok, I might have to start saving, but Dark Crusade looks so good too!

Tigranes Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 RTW runs relatively high-end for me, and I'm happy with M2TW if it looks any better than RTW, so.

Rosbjerg Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 oh okay .. I can play RTW in a decent resolution, but it's cutting it close to what my computer can handle .. maybe I should invest in some new hardware just to be on the safe side .. I don't know what would happen if I couldn't play this game once it's released! Fortune favors the bald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checkpoint Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 "Why is the apocalypse upon us?" "Some dude in Denmark got really agitated when he couldn't find any video-card drivers for his new game. I hope this isn't some kind of new trend." Maybe they should tone the game down? ^Yes, that is a good observation, Checkpoint. /God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xard Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 yeah How can it be a no ob build. It has PROVEN effective.

alanschu Posted September 10, 2006 Author Share Posted September 10, 2006 (edited) So the 5 starting factions are England, Holy Roman Empire, France, Venice, and Spain. 12 Unlockable factions naturally. I plan on playing the English. Who do YOU want to be? EDIT: Check this out. England, Holy Roman Empire, France, Venice, Spain => these 5 are starting factions.Milan, Sicily, Hungary, Russia, Egypt, Moors, Danes, Scotland, Portugal, Byzantynes, Turkey, Poland => these are unlockable factions Aztecs, Mongols, Timmerids, Papal States => These are non-playable in campaign, but you can play them in custom battles. The reason those 4 are non playable is obvious; Aztecs appear through the discovery of America, the Mongols and Timmerids are invasion armies and Papal states involves the Pope. *Unit speeds and kill speeds have been decreases; I can't really put it in numbers, but it *is* down. *There are 8 Historical Battles planned, I have played a demo which had the Battle of Avincourt (the famous battle which involves a lot of arrows and mud ) and the battle of Pavia (where you play the HRE with Spain AI allies versus the French). *A public demo is in the works and nearing completion *They are aiming for minimum specs of; P4 1.8 Ghz Geforce4 128. *Cow launching is IN! *Timmerids get the funky rocket launchers *Generals can't be given titles like in Med 1 *No eras like in Med1, there is only one campaign period. *Campaign battle replay... is uncertain. It *was* in, but they all thought it might have been recently removed. They asked if I thought it was an important feature. Since this question was asked multiple times, and I personally felt it is really nice as well, I said we would all really like it and they responded that they will try to convey that to CA Australia and hope they put it in.

Dark_Raven Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Is there a time limit? The last RTS I played was Rise of Nations and I didn't like there being a time limit of how fast you could build your nation before your enemy advanced to a next level ahead of you in technology.

Unlike RON you don't have to fight each turn to take over everything, the "long" game victory conditions in "vanilla" is fifty provinces and control of rome. Generally you can pull this off if you take greece germany france spain and the italian peninsula. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.

Musopticon? Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I'm going to play as either Spain or Venice, or Russia and modded Mongols. It's gonna be a while before I get the game, so I guess there will be a wealth of modded stuff then. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

metadigital Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I met an ex-pat Genoan, and when I chatted about the Venetians he was most indignant that his precious city and her fine history was ignobly dismissed by history, in favour of her neighbour ... "we lost one little war!" he lamented. :D OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigranes Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 No word on release date, right? Can't wait till Byzantines, and my second pick tends to be France. In most games I like playing the 'minnows' and building them up, but I like my TW games to have the vaguest relation to history... none of these Polish ruling Europe things. Just breaks my suspension of disbelief, if you will.

alanschu Posted September 10, 2006 Author Share Posted September 10, 2006 That link that I posted recently was a guy that went to some show that had the game listing. He took questions from the TWCenter forums, and asked them there. He commented that a demo was coming soon, and that release was slated for I think November.
