...are the new release dates according to today's Hono(u)r day. Alas, they don't mention release dates for anywhere else. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/frown.gif

How the bloody hell do the Yanks get the game earlier than us Brits? Oh well, at least we have a firm date. Also, if we in Britain pre-order from E.A, will it come before the 17th,or am I better off just going to the shop to get it?
same as last time.
yanks get it first again'but then again they are so dumb they need the catch up time to compete with the rest of the world at multiplay!!!!

I think in Europe it must be release in all EU countries at the same time, that is probably why we get it first. They have to coordinate the release in the entire EU

Hehe, well said Kraellin. Hach, such words from you make me wonder why I don't see you online much. I guess the forum here is a much better place to act out.

August 7th - hmm... I think it may happen, actually. That will be good and all.
You folks in England should feel lucky for a few things as of lately, especially if you're into playing some of the other great games that have come out of European development houses.
For instance, Operation Flashpoint came out over there a few weeks ago, and it's not scheduled for release in the USA till September, but with some great reasons. Lucky me, I got an imported copy of it yesterday at EB. Only one in the state I think, that had a copy of it on a shelf. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif
Now it's all mine!!! Muahaha
I can't wait to see what's in store for us next year! http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

Well they left out the important stuff like when it is being released in Australia. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif
When releasing it to EU countries it has to be done at the same for all countires. I got this from another game boards when all the Europeans were complaining they did not have the game yet.

So Hach, you admit it, you're a game slut!

Well, perhaps you'll be playing Shogun online more when the WLE or MI comes out. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif
For now though, I think you're missing some good battles. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/tongue.gif

Hach,it's obviously a political ploy by Bush to put you EU members in your place http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/wink.gifHopefully this time we get the good manual and you get the screwed up one http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif
DP,apparently the Aussie's won't be getting it at all,but if you send me $200(american),I'll send you a copy http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/tongue.gif

I just purchased a copy Europa Universalis in despair at Mongol Invasion being pushed back - only to leave it in the shrinkwrap. Looks like I'll return it and get MI instead.
Why do the our European friends need to wait 10 days? Are the things stuck in Customs? Awaiting a passport stamp at Heathrow?
Still I can't freaking wait...

It's an outrage, still no one seems to care about the UK market. I remember with the N64 I had to wait about a year more just to get a crappy, slow, bordered version of the US games.

Yeah, I agree! It's gonna be bad enough having people playing it on-line without us. We definately don't need some smart-arse telling us how great it is! http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/wink.gif

Checked out Computer Smart near my home. We will be receiving the Warlord Edition on the 8th of August, up here in Montreal.
The Sales rep was smiling at how fast he saw my money in his face for a pre-order http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif

Thanks Kuma!
So we have to buy the original game together? http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/rolleyes.gif
Is the ex-pack (Mongol expansion) has to be bought separately (pay one more time) through online EA stores? (meaning they won't be out yet?)
[This message has been edited by Maltz (edited 07-31-2001).]
60 bucks w/o tax ????????????? http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/eek.gif
hooooooooly... sure glad i won't have to pay that...
