Just Wow!

[ReluctantSamurai]

Awesome!! Right down to the glint of sunlight on drawn swords.....................

[Magyar Khan]

lets hope the gameplay matches the same level.....of excellence

[Judge]

i find myself watching more and more japanese films or mandarin films about samurai with english subtitles of course :)

[Magyar Khan]

try goemon its new and full of ninja stuff

[Togakure]

Very impressive. I'm sure the pc specs to run the game will be too!

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

I want to see more of Sieges! :yes: :book:

[AggonyKing]

Very impressive. I'm sure the pc specs to run the game will be too!well same engine as ntw so I wouldn't expect a huge difference from the specs of ntw :P

[A Nerd]

The naval screens and deck battle were quite impressive. I wonder if there is a way for ships to sink and the like. Other than hitting rocks and such.

edit: Wouldn't it be nice if you could set fire to the enemy ship while aboard or from your own ship? Is that possible as far as Japanese history goes? With flaming arrows or the like, not including cannon if they even carried them aboard a ship. I no nothing of such matters!

[Orda Khan]

Not so sure about the mast/sail in the last pic, nothing impressive there.

[Vladimir]

Very nice.

Which clan has the red and black?

[Kagemusha]

Very nice.

I am betting it is Mori.
The mon on the red banner shown is Takeda; the blue mon on the map is Hojo.

Unit stats shown for "Light Cavalry":

Morale: 8
Melee Attack: 4
Melee Defense: 1
Charge Bonus: 20
Bonus vs. Cavalry: 5
Armor: 2
Run Speed: 12

These are all familiar. Have to compare these to the old Yari cavalry stats.

Very happy to see Save Army Setup, and "Load Setup" with options. Perhaps this is old school for those who have played the more recent games, but I haven't, and missed these in the older games.

40-man command unit, it seems
160-man archer and Yari sam units
60-man cavalry units
200-man Ashi units

Tab differentiation between normal and "veteran" units available.

[Barkhorn1x]

Tasty screens!

[A Nerd]

They do look delicious don't they! :) I am eagre to see how the sieges and naval battles work out. Some nice campaigning too, well, hopefully anyway!

[Kagemusha]

Delicious!

I want pics of a lot of dead bodies lol. :laugh4:

Would be intersting to see a yari foot units bonus v cav and see how this light cav measures up and indeed if it is a yari cav type unit. If the bonus is only 5 i doubt it tho. did you find the old yari cav stats? its been so long..

[Togakure]

I have 1.02 WE installed. From the troopstats.txt I get:

Charge bonus: -6 - 12
Melee bonus: -6 - 12
Defence bonus: -6 - 12
Armour level: 1 - 12
Honour level: -4 - 8
Ammo ( arrows or bullets ): 0 - 255
Unit size (based on 60)

Yari Cavalry ... 15, 1, 2, 3, 4, 0, 60; March, Run, Charge (1-24) = 8, 24, 28.8

for comparison:

"Light cavalry" ... 20, 4, 1, 2, 8, 0, 60; MRC = ?, 12, ?

Naginata Cavalry: 11, 4, 1, 4, 8, 0, 60; MRC = 8, 22, 26.4

'Honour' = morale. Engine is different so can't really compare directly, but it does look like the "Light Cavalry" is more offensive, more like the nag cav from 1.02. I've forgotten what the spear bonus etc. is in the old game--buried in some of Puzz's posts in the old dojo somewhere.

I'm curious about how it compares to the original (1.12) non-WE/MI edition YC too. My disk is loaned out atm but but I think some others here have it.
