**EMPIRE TOTAL WAR**

I'm still a bit concerned about how fun combat will be. I mean you've got naval combat which is very very rarely done in an entertaining way in games (especially when you are relying on wind for movement) and then land combat is much more gunpowder based than before, so you have two lines just shooting the

outta eachother with a few calvary thrown in for fun.

I think your over simplifying Napoleonic combat a bit :)

2 lines shooting eachother? Do you actually believe that was all that happened back then?!

I'm so tempted to get a new laptop for this, well when I say new I mean an old Dell inspiron with an 8600m gt but im not sure.

This game looks awesome though.
 
Awsome news on the review, but then again I dont trust PCGamer UK much. Looking forward to playing the demo.
 
Yeah I hope the Demo is out before the 20th, I would've thought they'd give a bit more than a couple of weeks for people to try out the Demo.

Hopefully MP is going to be really very good; I'm pretty sure the Campaigns are going to be great, but in games of such complexity like this, they could really fudge up the MP.

the last total war games had a demo about a month before the oficial release so fingers crossed for a demo this week for empire.
 
I don't normally play a lot of RTS games (although I do love Age of Empire and I did have COmpany of Heroes) mainly because I suck at them.

Have been out of PC gaming for around 2 years and am currently researching a new build, this looks awesome and assuming I can get the funds together I will be giving this game a go :)
 
No demo yet:(
It should be real soon though, hopefully there like the other total war demos. There demos is usually the tutorial so you know how to play the game and jump straight into the campaign:D

The mp is gonna be great aswell 1v1 on a campaign map is gonna be amazing.
Also you can save it and pick the game up at any time:D

So you can play with multiple players on campaign mode? This is what this game has been missing over the past few versions.

Is it just LAN or is it online too? How many people can play if on line?
 
Just pre-ordered this at the weekend, hadn't realised it was so cose to release wich is nice :) Got the SF version just for the hell of it but £10 extra for a few more units is a bit cheeky tbh.

Reisntalled Rome to get back into the swing if things but it keep crashing for me :(
 
Just preordered the SF edition with HMS victory. I have £6 on a reward card plus some quidco goodness so its not so bad. Hope this is worth the money i just spent on a new PC lol
