No real need for that. It will be a simple task to add them manually from the expansion campaigns to the main campaign. I'm sure some modders will do it, if not, there are some excellent guides in the mod forums.Quote:

That clip was very juicy. It actually was able to whip me up a bit! Then again it's a trailer kind of,.... we'll see how it turns out when it's there *skeptic*
No Inca, the largest empire in america?
or Mapuche, who reisted over 300 years to the spaniard invasion and defeated them in the end?
Anyone know what the map for Britain will look like -- number of provinces, etc? I was encouraged to see the number of provinces in the mini-maps in the screenshots for the Crusader and Eastern Europe campaigns, and I'm hoping it will be similar with Britain -- around as many provinces as are in VI, or more. All I've seen are those screenshots posted on the first page of this thread (can't watch the trailer), so I'm wondering if anyone has any idea on more specifics of the Britain campaign -- the one I'm looking forward to the most.
Psyched for this expansion. I can't wait until autumn!
Is this helpful?Quote:

There's nothing to fix in this game, only added.
Don't fix what ain't broken.
in fact I find patches mostly worsen the game.
Maybe you guys wanna try uninstalling third parties and defragmenting your hard drive before installing a game?
Hmmm, I guess they liked the idea of localized campaigns with minimal factions that I did with crusades....

I never heard of the 'shield bug' and I can't think of anything -related to shields- I have trouble with. But one thing I do know, the basis aspects of this game our flawless. It runs smooth and does exactly everything I expect it to do, and how the devs promised us it will do.
Offcourse, I known expansion that bring new bugs to a game, if that's the case here I'll have no other choice but to patch it. But all previous expansions of total war series were good.
I guess it just differs from individual to individual, it's exaclty why a PC is called a 'personal' computer. ;)
The only (recent) games I know that really do need patches are games like Neverwinter Nights 2, Gothic 3 and X3 reunion.
wow.
i dont need an American expansion anymore!
No we are all, pretty certain that the shield bug exists in every unit. As do countless others.Quote:

This looks terrible for people who complain of the game being too short, 4 more campaigns of RTW:Alexander length? also, I agree with being hesitant about heros with "special abilities"as cool as Prince Arthas is I don't play WC3 for a reason.

Don't let it bother you. I have made a bit of an amusing pasttime to try and spot the paid shills from hardcore fanboys. :grin:Quote:

In fact what'd be even better is two flavors of the main campaign, "classic" and "expansion" which respectively do and do not include the new options.
That was my initial reaction too... I'd rather have a RTW/BI style expansion that expanded on the overall long campaign. On the other hand, if they're really putting some effort into atmospherics with those mini-campaigns -- individualized voice acting, new graphics on the static info panels, etc. -- then it might be worthwhile. I just hope the Crusader allies campaign can be played from the Muslim side too, and not just the Christian factions.Quote:

Test it for yourself. See what happens when a unit of peasants attacks a unit of spear militia on the Grassy Plain map. Or try to send a unit of billmen into a cavalry unit. Apart from the initial charge, the billmen will cause absolutely no casualties to the cavalry unit, even if the billmen have 9 experience and you're fighting Hobilars or Scottish Border Cavalry.Quote:

Inca aren't on the map, it's pretty much only the Caribbean and a bit of North America.
Anyways, I'm sure I'll enjoy the mini campaigns far more than the actual Grand Campaign. I'm usually bored with that after conquering 25 provinces (which doesn't take too long, let me tell you) because I know I basically have won...
So, I'm looking forward to this expansion, if the CA guys do it properly, this will become the best expansion they released so far (although I admit to not having played Mongol Invasion - but then again I haven't played STW, either)
How easy it is to make people happy ! Give them some new units , flamethrowers and some campaigns and they are enlighted. Nothing what modders can not do by themselves.
What I'm really hoping for are new gameplay elements to change Rommedieval into a real medieval experience. Still waiting for Dynasties, Heraldic system, medieval interactive dynamic events (Hunts, Claims...) as for example in the Anno Domini mod. If not, it's just a repeating of boring battles in a different costume...
Up to now i can see only the glamour but not the beef !
repman
Frankly I prefer flamethrowers to hunting rabbits.
this is glorious!!!
With this expansion, I could finally live my dream of slaughtering and pillaging Indians.
