[Hulegu]

Those of you in the UK, at least, will want to get out and buy the latest issue of PC Gamer magazine (no.111). My subscription copy arrived today so it should be on the shelves very soon. The cover CDs contain an MTW demo - 8 training levels and the Battle of Jaffa, apparently.
Unfortunately I can't afford a processor upgrade yet......

I would tell you what it's like, but I can't get through the 1st tutorial.

It tells you to click at the base of a flag to move your troops to that position, but no matter where you click the voiceover just insults you and tells you to click at the base of the flag. Repeat until you are bored and you exit the demo.

Sorry, been busy all day. Replies to the easy questions follow. The mag. is £4.99. Although it says PII 450 in the mag., the info. on the CD says PII 350. My aging PII 300 coped with it without any trouble. I will play the demo again tomorrow and e-mail shots to those who have asked so far (but that's all 'cos I can't spend all day e-mailing!
I had no trouble clicking on the flag - I can only suggest that you make sure you click as close as you can get to the flag base. Maybe someone who has had problems can respond more adequately.
Most of the training levels are battles against the Byzantines, with Kataphraktoi on show on the enemy side, knights, archers and spearmen on yours. A good chance to look at some of the landscape details, a couple of siege missions. The Battle of Jaffa is fun, with a great variety of cavalry units in the enemy army, including mercenary Alans, Ghulams, Bedouin and Khwarazmian heavy cavalry. On your side, 'royal knights', sailors acting as archers, and so on, and dismounted knights also appear in a couple of the battles.
Have fun!

Football? What football? Is there a tournament on somewhere?
Would anyone care to agree or disagree with a couple of impressions from the demo:
1) the instructor sounds a lot like John Hurt.
2) some of the cavalry are a bit disappointing visually. The knights are OK but others, such as the Khwarazmians, Ghulams, cataphracts, etc. seem lacking in detail and somewhat blurry, especially close-up. Perhaps the final game will have more options for upping the visual detail.

As Erado well said...we do have the space, but the bandwidth is a problem. We would be the only site in the world which gives free, fast and direct access to the demo. (unlike most warez)...surely a huge bandwidth problem...I believe.

[TosaInu]

Konnichiwa,

Thanks for posting those screenshots Shadeswolf.

I was shocked when I saw them, siege battles will not work, not online anyway and if the AI is any decent, it won't work offline either.

A siege engine takes up one of the 16 slots which are supposed to be contain combatunits. When the defender camps in his castle with closed gates, you'll need at least one engine to make a 'gate', but you'll probably need more than one, especially when sieging a large castle or a backup in case the defender sallies, destroys your engine, retreats and closes the gate.

But if the attacker take some engines to do that, he'll have less than 16 combatunits. It appears to me that engines are paid out of the normal coffin and the engines will cost a bit, not only will you have less than 16 combatunits, they'll be inferior too.

The defender of course has 16 full strenght units. If he's going to camp in his castle when the attacker has siege equipment, his units will likely suffer by shrapnels and shattering stone.
But he has 16 strong units, while his enemy has only, say, 12 weak. Sally!
And if the attacker buys 16 strong units, close the gate and camp: it'll be impossible for the attacker to win, unless MTW will have the AOE like 'feature' of ordinary soldiers breaching 10 feet thick walls.
And in the other scenario: trebuchets firing and killing charging cavalry.

You'll need a construction like this:
the defender can spend 5,000 gold on 16 units and gets a castle (which adds to his militairy strenght and is worth some gold).

The attacker will also get 5,000 gold to spend on 16 units and will receive extra slot(s) and an amount of gold which can be exclusively spend on siege equipment (depending on how strong the castle is: 1-4 slots).
(The defender will thus get 17-20 unit icons, when the siege engines are listed together at either the very beginning or the end of the list, a scroll will allow you to control all units; the stw demo had a kind of alt tab for army cards).

You need a considerable advantage to even consider attacking a stronghold, giving up any of the slots for siege equipment is just plain suicide.

I can provide you a tactic to beat the AI in the campaign. Let him attack your castles (he'll use siege equipment and will have few ordinairy soldiers), sally, destroy his army, destroys his equipment, retreat and have his reinforcements die under your walls.

And if in the campaign the attacking AI has more then 16 units? http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/wink.gif

Online in castle battles the attacking forces should have an increase in koku to make it a fair battle (if no koku increase is required to make it a fair battle castles are just deathtraps not an advantage).

Bought the PC gamer, tried the demo. I must say it is great.

Tosa, attackers can breach walls and force the goors open, although very VeRY slowly.

The amount of firepower that trebuchets have is encouraging, with two machines being able to make 2 breaches, bring down 3 archer towers and get about 20-30 kills by bombardment.

At the end you can take the men off the machines and send them into fighting. They are a bit better than peasants.


After trying a demo, I see no reason why sieges shouldn't work with the properly balanced ammo supply... so don't worry. It is a lot of fun anyway

The flow of combat is much slower than in the MI. turning and engagement mechanisms are more realistic and give a lot of time for decision making.

I agree that once you get castle sieges into multiplayer there is bound to be some inbalance but it is more like attacking high hills in MI rather than castle sieges. You do have a chance of winning it.

[Dom]

http://dom.angelcities.com/Castleisdown!.gif

Here I didn't wait to expand all my siege ammo and rushed in fast, getting my guys killed and routed but bombarded a bit longer and then used my siege crews to kill off the remainder of the defenders http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif


BTW I love the routing system in the demo, guys do not run to one side, but away from the battle and danger! Only if there is no enemy around will they run off the field!

P.S. damn screenshot won't come up... just click on it to check it out

[Dom]

Good question Hirosito, will count it for ya but I reckon 12-16 shots, quiet enough to bring some walls down.

When they get a hit on the crowd only 1 man dies, however if you bring a wall down near a bunch of men, it kills the whole lot. Too bad human opponents will not get caught out that easy.

As to chasing routed units thoughout the place.... well if you do not chase them they will recover rather fast.

The last battle of the tutorial features a shedload of types of troops, mostly muslim.

For the full demo review with screenshots and commentaries look at the great rata site tomorrow evening

Regards, Ryurik

good so i think sieges will prolly go over two legs. first knock some walls down..make sure to bring defensive units cos you'll be outnumbered. then next season attck the weaker castle with offensive units.

Gah! What Evil Influence is affecting Tosa's use of languge?

And how exactly do you pay out of normal coffin ... or abnormal coffin, for that matter?

[TosaInu]

Konnichiwa Krasturak san,

I should have consulted my dictionary before writing that: coffer it is. I apologise.

The point I tried to make is that you'ld need a serious advantage to attack a castle (the minimum is 2 to 1 I recall), no warlord would even think about conducting a siege in the way presented here.

Each siege engine takes a normal unit slot. Already putting the attacker at a serious disadvantage when the defender sallies. As it's likely that engines will cost some gold, the remaining units will be inferior too.

The defender receives a free castle which adds to his militairy strength (of course it does, why else would you bother about building one?), the attacker should receive extra gold and slots to purchase extra siege stuff (I was thinking about engines, but extra archers can be nice too). Hence the siege coffer together with the normal coffer (the defenders castle is worth gold too).

Siege battles are supposed to work online too.

I don't want to be online when a decent player like Amp discovers this 'feature' and anyone copies it.

Who plays Assassinate the General, Halve the Enemy, Siege? Even KOH and Capture are rarely played (STW WE/MI online game modi). Promissing extra gameplay features that just didn't work out.

There is a new 'Bring on Reinforcements' button at the top though, quite what it does is not revealed in the demo, but I think,and the PC Gamer article states, that we will have much more control over our reinforcements than before.

yo shadeswolf have u beat the final mission on M:TW demo yet i think its a C%&T but once u do it once its eay ive now beat it 4 times hehehehehehehe. the last mission is 400 men defending a castle vs 2500 attacking it oh did i mention your not in the castle and cant get in the castle Muhahahahahahaha. I think it will struggle online as the graphics r brilliant and unless u have adsl or cable the game play will be limited and u will end up with aload of lag but the real version might be better designed for the web we'll have to wait and see

Sorry Yas, but I had to give up with your ftp server. As Im feeling in a good mood as England are doing well in the World Cup I have uploaded the demo to the Clan Shades ftp server. This server is not usually available to the public, but as there is no way for lots of Shogun players to get access to the demo I will let non Shades players into the server for a while http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif

The ip is...213.55.10.85

Username is....clanshades

Password is...shogun!!

The demo files are in the directory MTW

Be patient as it is a whopping 300Mb download http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/frown.gif

Good luck.
