Gotta admit, having watched some Twitch streams in the last 48 hrs I don't see any glaring issues either, at least on the single player/campaign front. Looks reasonably polished and fun, with a good emphasis on the battles themselves, which I think is a good thing for a Total War game. I haven't come away with the impression that the strategic part has been streamlined to oblivion ( contrary to the RPS review ).

Guys when does this unlock? Its my bi-weekly day off tomorrow and I was looking forward to having a few hours to play it bit it seems to be saying 6pm for me

on the CA Facebook page they posted it will be live 0800 BST So hopefully steam is just wrong
Soldato
Thanks, that seems to be the general consensus but steam is telling me different. Also one other question, has anybody ever copied preloaded files across to steam before? I've paid for it and it's in my library but a friend has spent the week downloading it and was hoping to get his copy to save me a 3 day download

Is only 9gb. Even my old 2mbit line needed overnight to download that much....
quick question, do we know what time unlock in australia?

All the DLC you have to buy has yet to be released.

Can't imagine they need all that many different textures, relatively speaking
Soldato
Care to expand on that?
Maybe because there's only 4 races.
compressed. Install is about 12GB I think.

Just the type of game it is, I mean. I just don't see that you would need huge amounts of textures for an RTS compared with, say, an FPS. Not that I know much about this sort of thing
Rome 2 started at about 10GB.
Ahh I see what he means now, I thought he meant it in a different context. I think it's less the races that are the cause of the size reduction than that the scope is limited by the reduced world and playing area that will expand over the next two releases.

It will be interesting to see how they approach the following releases, I assume they will be fully integrated into the game and not standalone's like Atilla. I wonder if they'll be priced as DLC or full priced games.
