I'll be answering any questions you guys have this weekend. Ask away and I'll try and answer them.
Playing the Tutorial Right Now
-I like the new interface a bit more.
-The game is much more responsive for me, no more random hiccups even on small sizes.
-Does look better.
-More Faces, Yah!
Also mustaches as this was the Great Age of Facial Hair. Though the units still kinda have that creepy dead eye effect.
-Generals and Admirals have way nicer portraits.(You don't understand how much this makes the game look more atmospheric)
-Generals and Admirals have extra icons over them to help you figure out where they actually are. Very helpful for boats.
-Generals now have an ability called 'Inspire' that super powers one unit.
-Boat Repair should now fix a lot of those random sinkings during battle.
-Units speak the correct language.(FINALLY)
-Battle map is too big by default :( Need a version that doesn't take like 10% of the screen. I don't want the option to make it bigger, I want it smaller or both would be fine.
-Where are my game speed buttons...? Ctrl+T shifts through them.
-Storytelling is less corny so far.
-A few new Town Buildings. There is a new weapon factory and a new merchant's guild improvement for the campaign map for regions. One increases recruitment and makes upkeep cheaper while the other makes you money.
-No more 2 turn reenforcements. You have to build structures that resupply your army % per turn. I LOVE THIS!
-The AI on Hard is definitely competent for a SP experience. I know that it is a little boniied up the decision making is not the ETW fare.
