All in all a great game. The AI Kind of sucks, like said before, the diplomacy is rudimentary, and what is with opposing factions (especially much weaker ones) declaring war with you at random? Even though it has problems, I still love watching the line infantry fire volleys back and fourth, or watching an opposing army send a cavalry charge, only to be disrupted by some grapeshot. I will be playing this game for a long time.
I'm not interested in preserving the status quo; I want to overthrow it.

I just got around to picking it up a few days ago. The combat is brilliant like in all TW games but I don't see it keeping my interest for longer than a few more days maybe. The battles are tons of fun and great to watch but the game play itself gets very boring. Diplomacy is very primitive and all you really need to do to win is spam build tons of troops to overwhelm your enemy. I was hoping that they would improve the diplomatic features in this game compared to the other TW games as well as give more features, it seems like they did the complete opposite. Medieval 2 I want to say was better than this one.

I have been playing the game since the day it came out, and its been a blast. The AI is still retarded like all other TW games , but still fun. The multiplayer Campain will be fun when it released in forthcoming patch.
 
Great game...

Out of interest, what exactly do you find wrong with the previews? They look pretty impressive to me.


truth. but the mods, dude! the mods!


mods can only change so much (see those Napoleon: TW mods) and remember you don't spend money on mods but on crappy games that need to eb further enhanced by such mods.

I noticed in one of the trailers that there was a scene of two, presumably noblemen, in a duel of some sort - anyone know how this will factor into gameplay at all or if it was simply a video clip for the trailers?

I don't know. Haven't decided whether i will buy it or not. The last previews were not very promising and my ethusiasm has been constantly dropping since summer. Looks like a failure just like M2TW to be honest.

I'm upgrading my comp now. Its looking very promising. Apparantly each faction will be speaking in their own language, though i ratehr doubt the Marathas will be speaking Marathi, its not exactly the easiest language to come by voice actor wise.

Unimpressive you mean? If so I don't follow you here. Judging by what we have seen so far we should rather fear the opposite scenario; that the game is all presentation and weak in gameplay.

I don't think anything has been made official yet, but just by looking it you can tell you'll need a new computer with all the latest hardware to run it well. The latest hardware when the game is released, that is, not now.
