Just out of curiosity I hooked my PC up to my television set and decided to try some games out to see how well they looked.
I was truly amazed when I played Shogun on the television set. I thought that with all the small units and I such I would only see blurry fat little pixels moving around, but the game looked astounding on the screen. I had tried with other games using small onscreen units but they came out blurry, but shogun looked flawless and on the larger screen the battles were magnificent, so much so, that for the fun of it I taped a few with my VCR to watch again (I was bored okay).
Anyway that got me thinking, I wish Shogun had a battle recorded as was seen in Myth I and Myth II where you could watch your battles over and over again and move the camera around to other areas you may not have viewed before during the battle.
Anyway that's all for now, although I'm hoping the newest patch will be able to fix the flag color issue cropping up in some people's games after installing 1.11 and 1.12.

yeah im guilty of once taking STW and hooking up to a computer used for big board meetings. seeing the battles on a big projection screen, crystal clear and with surround sound (theres a bit of something liek that in the game) is friggin awesome! the thunderstorms were the best....

I'm toying with the idea of getting a new HDTV (just bought a new computer though), so I'd be interested in how you do this! I assume it's thru the AV jacks somehow...is that right?

well, as long as you have the appropriate OUTput from your computer- that is a video card or TV card with some form of VIDEO OUT connector http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/wink.gif
