In the massive hubbub of the game release in North America, I've lost track of several folks around here whose insights I value, and who live in Europe and elsewhere, and are still waiting (patiently?) for the game.
Has anyone outside N.A. got the game yet?
A few may have imported the game but most of us are awaiting Friday 1st October.....
still waiting ~:mecry:
I have been duely informed by my local games shop that with a bit of luck I will be the proud owner of RTW tomorrow. However, as luck will have it, I probably will have to wait 'till Thursday...

Got my RTW (US-version) yesterday from my favorite german online shop. They got it on monday and so I recieved it yesterday. ~D
Unfortunately I couldn't play it. Installed it and then had to go shopping with my gf. ~:mecry: I' now at work but have the manual to help me over the time until I get home.

My copy from Chips N' Bits only shipped on Monday, but is now in Ireland and on the DHL vehicle. ~:) ~:) ~:) ~:)
I feel tortured by watching al the RTW topics where i cannot reply on cause i lack understanding about the game.2 more days to wait.
My friend FedExed it to me along with some other stuff I ordered like an dirt cheap MP3 player. So I play the game for a day now. Wooohoo, is all I got. there is some negatve comments, like units are too fast and this and that, but I seriously am so impressed with the quality of it.
On a side note - some 10 years ago, may be more, I played a PC Game, called 'CENTURION', that ran from a floppy. It was so cool at the time, had legions, consular armies, 'looked' 3D, had gladiotor games, Naval combat (for real, where you had to fire at ships!), armies had formations, a strong or weak general, and diplomacy which awas pretty straightforard but worked. It was great! I was waiting for something as that game on a modern scale for a long time. Now that it's out, I'm so happy. If anyone remembers that game, please mention it, as I have rarely seen anyone knowing about it and it was fantastic imho.
I remember Centurion. My mate had it on the Amiga. Battles were fun, with the command radius of your general and so on. Chariots and gladiators were pretty poor though. I have a feeling Rome is going to wee on it from a huge height.
Ah well, only two days to go. Booked Friday off work so I can have a good long go on it. I can't wait ~:)
I have it ~:) ~:) ~:) ~:) .
Ha, good plan. Much better than what I did, which was expect to work and have some play time in the evening. Ended up getting 3 hours of sleep the day (night) it came out.Quote:

Im still waiting... a few more weeks before RTW hits store shelves in Poland. Well, at least I get the time to finish up a few MTW campaigns :charge:
:knight:
Mine was dispatched today so im hoping it will arrive tommorrow, 1 day before its supposed to ~D
TCon88, who did you order from???
To late for RTW I know but useful for the next big release....
I ordered from a shop called GAME, you've probably heard of it if your in the UK. And it gets better, because the release date was pushed back they sent me a free game to keep me happy until RTW arrived.
Saw that "Free agme with pre-order thing", what did you get???
I didn't preorder becuase there is a GAME round the corner from where I work...
I got some game called 'Armed & Dangerous', its nothing special just a basic shoot em up really. Only played it once, will probably trade it in for something better or money off.
