North America?
Did CA do their homework on the Naval Ensigns?
I may be mistaken but I thought the ones in the demo were white.
I guess we will know when we start the game…Let’s see if they have the 3 RN Squadrons in the game.
edit: Nope! after checking they all seem to use the red ensign...CA you flunked again!
Prior to 1864, red, white, and blue were the colours of the three squadrons of the Royal Navy, which were created as a result of the reorganisation of the navy in 1652 by Admiral Robert Blake. Each squadron flew one of the three ensigns.
The red squadron tended to patrol the Caribbean and north Atlantic, the white the coasts of Britain, France and the Mediterranean, while the blue patrolled the south Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans. The flags of the various former British colonies often have grounds of the same colour as their protective squadron. Hence Bermuda has a red ground and Australia and New Zealand blue. Canada's flag was a red ensign from founding until the adoption of the more familiar maple leaf flag in 1965. The flag of the United States also follows this pattern; early flags of the American Revolution were modified Red Ensigns. The Grand Union Flag, added six white stripes to the Red Ensign and this flag was used during the fight for independence until the Union Flag in the corner was replaced by the current stars in 1777.
In addition to the Admiral of the Fleet (who was Admiral of the Red), each squadron also had its own admirals, vice admirals and rear admirals, e.g. Lord Nelson was Vice Admiral of the White at time of death.
edit: Nope!
After checking all the RN ships in the demo have the red ensign.
CA, you flunked your history AGAIN!:smash:

Still... how is it? How we hoped? Worse? Better?

Re: The Screenshots Thread
I like it alot, after three hours play I was only at 1705. The campaign I have played so far has been alot of fun, the system is much better than previous editions. With regards to battles the game is very impressive aswell, I have been playing on normal mode and the AI is quite challenging.

Congratulations on being the first Orgah to give any sort of review of the game :2thumbsup:.
How are the load times and how long does the AI take to make its turns?

Re: The Screenshots Thread
And how is the naval battles? Some more, "official", reveiwers have been complaining about it.
-
Re: The Screenshots Thread
Load times are fast, probably a bit longer than Medieval 2, maybe 20 seconds for a battle, if you turn AI turns on in the campaign then it takes about 1 minute to get between turns, I just press space. If anyone wants to see any screenshot of the Campaign menu or anything just ask. The biggest thing I have noticed though, is how smooth everything is, in battles there is never any lag, even when everyone seems to be firing their guns.

Thanks a ton for the screens Alexander XXI! Be careful, looks like you've hit Russia with a stick, they might not take kindly to that! :laugh4:
I won't ask for any more screens. Enjoy the game man!

Re: The Screenshots Thread
Thanks for taking the time to post these screenies mate! Looks like you're not as popular in the game as you are in the Org right now!
How am I supposed to go to work tomorrow when I know ETW will be dropping through my letterbox after I leave?
Stupid grown up responsibilities!
