Hi,
Just finished my first try at the new expansion. The first time I took more than 16 units in to a game I noticed at the beginning of the game when you are getting ready a symbol on the top right of the screen that looked like the 'undo' symbol in Windows. The arrow curved in to a circle thingy(??). The info on it said you can replace any unit with one of your re-inforcements? I tried this after saying a little thank you, thank you, thank you. And was instantly kicked out to the main screen. I have posted this on the tech site as a problem but I wanted to know if anyone else has made this work? If you have made it work can you get the unit that you send off back as a later replacement?
This was one of my complaints with the old game so it is nice to see any attempts at any improvements.
I had a lot of problems at first setting my units out on the screen - the old left click and drag was not working - but once I went back in after being kicked out that appeared to be fixed??? Just in case anyone else has the same problem.
General comments after one evening? Mongol Cavalry are b*****y fast. If you get beaten they can run you down so fast - ouch. Watching the numbers go down is a painful thing to watch as your men are trying to run off the screen. I had my worst ever defeat 1100 lost in one game!!!! Re-inforcements do not come on quickly enough and I can not agree with them coming on anywhere. I like the fact that they are not coming on in the same place but they should not come on behind the enemy, on the far side of the board. Archers that far from their Daimyo and by themselves are very prone to rout!
Should be a great weekend http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif
p.s. just in case anyone gets the wrong idea I think it is well worth the money -especially for the SP players, and a simple patch can fix a lot of the small problems. Give them a chance.
