SAdly i dont have a scanner to send Tera some pics etc,so he can break them down and post them here http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/frown.gifAS to not get sued

OK in the Sahara in North Africa u can get sandstorms but will make visibility poor.And as i read it gettin sand into ur armour crevices will cause problems.
Sp play looks really good with lots of options and tactic ply.The sea battles r very important part of game but sadly they r resolved by the computer http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/frown.gif
Maybe this could be changed?>>?Hope so.

There's roles of agents

On a sad note......The battle modes control isnt quite what it could be http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/frown.gifWith units often being difficult to arrange at a precisely chosen angle.
Equally,the unit limit of 16 on each side on the battlefield at once causes a couple of problems-mainly linked to the morale system.

Enuf for now! http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

Sea battles should be automatically resolved. Otherwise the game wouldnt come out for 9 or so months I think. Besides Sailing games are always pretty tough and you need quite a bit of knowledge.

Not to a STW master it ain't. But then what do you reckon the order(real life) would have been to line a unit up at 59 degrees from due North.

I assume that was the reviewer's comments FaST and not yours.
MTW allows for much easier line up of groups of units than STW so I don't see a problem here.

I got the review... nothing to get excited about and nothing we didn't already know. I am sorry but the review is crap.

The main focus of it was not on the game but on the how much the reviewer enjoyed the game, and the orgasmic heights of pleasure the game has given him.

Sorry but that doesn't do much for my anxiety to find out how thing will work...

Just a note, the reviewer that reviewed MI (he gave it 95%, second best rating ever, only Half-Life got better) now works with Creative-Assembly.

Just one thing...if you raid a castle to destroy things then pull out will your general lose honour or whatever because you pulled out?

toda,

you mean in order to preserve the castle for your own use or what?

Toda I think I saw in one of the files that there was a 'strategic loss' or maybe 'honourable defeat' where if you gave your ratio was better than theirs your general still gets a win. I'll have to look for the file.
