ARGH, I just get the error "Cannot find server" please tell me this is happening to you guys.
Um... I thought Camels didn't like armour so they weren't used as armoured mounts... anyone else think armour is kind of strange there or am I just paranoid?
yeah it's happening to me tooQuote:

Thank god this is happening to you also https://forums.totalwar.org/forum/no...ns/biggrin.gif now I don't have to destroy my computer.
The site looks VERY GOOD, but it's working piss poor at the moment I'm sure it'll be sorted soon though.
Anyways, thanks for the heads up swe-gamer.
Maybe the site is flooded at the moment or maybe they are uploading the demo https://forums.totalwar.org/forum/no...ns/biggrin.gif
I have more screens I can upload if anyone is interested and appreciates it.
Uhm not sure if this is right but after I followed the link this is what is saw "Call Of Duty™ Patch Information"
Hope it will work soon. There are movies and info on the different factions. Have to go. https://forums.totalwar.org/forum/no...icons/wave.gif

It is probably flooded. For example when I try to look at the factions it won't load.
[Edit]When I do anything it won't load[/Edit]
heh to many hits on the site right now it seems, preety kool though
Still unable to get to the site.
Probably way to much traffic and coding typos here and there.
Still it does look incredible.
Maybe I should request my vacation now. https://forums.totalwar.org/forum/no...icons/cool.gif
Ok guys I just found a source and I can't quite beleive it, but Cataphract Camels are mentioned.

Cataphracts mounted on camels is different from cataphract camels obviously...
I'm still stuck in the first window. Can only see the Bruti clip and if I choose something else it won't load. https://forums.totalwar.org/forum/no...c-furious3.gif https://forums.totalwar.org/forum/no...ns/gc-wall.gif Ahhh if only flash was never used.
ME WANTS RTW NOW NOW
At any rate this is the only site i have found that actually had something written about them... (no other sources)Quote:

Only two months, hopefully. Unless...unless it will be delayed, then I will end my life and I will be holding a picture of Rome: Total War box cover.
I see CA plan already. They have confused us so much about historical accuracy that we now don't know what is correct or not. THEN they will release their most hidden secret. Fantasy Total War.
Grr... won't even open for me... https://forums.totalwar.org/forum/no...ns/gc-wall.gif
Have you tried truning off the firewall if you have one?
There's a province profile up as well, but I haven't been able to access it..
edit: I've accessed it -- if you want to see more of the cities that have yet to be shown yet, just right-click and zoom in on the main map wherever you want.
Nope, no fire wall.
edit: Finnally got to the site, but I cant Enter... darn everyone else that is one the site https://forums.totalwar.org/forum/no...c-furious3.gif
Are you also having extreme problems with this new flash site? I've so far over the whole day seen all the 3 factions videos, factions and buildings but no more.
I'm at work so I have a ton of other programs running at the same time.
I have been able to get to a couple of parts but hardly all of it. https://forums.totalwar.org/forum/no...cons/frown.gif
Guess I will just have to wait until I get home.
I am having extreme difficulty browsing this site... Probably isn't finished or something.
flooded... I cant even get into the .com now...
How exactlty do you see this?? All I see are the factions and some building profiles.Quote:

It works if you close the flash site and re-open it again, it took me a couple of times before it worked completly.
Clearing the cache before trying to access the site (even disabling caching altogether) helped me load some of those pages.
Hmm... barely working. Can't get anywere at all really. Oh well...
I can't even get to totalwar.com now.
Oh the agony.. oh the a... go... ny https://forums.totalwar.org/forum/no...cons/mecry.gif

click the Link above.
And wait...
And Refresh several times.
Then u can't miss it.
Finally was able to get in.
Still looks like alot of stuff is not uploaded completely.
Hope they tweak this site.
Has anyone been looking at the Province Map. You can right click on the map and zoom in to see all the cities.
Ok I managed to get into most of it. Theres still a bit I can't see though. But I found it helps if you right click and change your Quality setting to Low, then just wait and let the page load. Then change it back to High, and it changes right away. This helped me get into a few of the pages.
tried low quality
no joy
i got to see the cips,
but none of the other links work for me
B.
They will have to get the site working, because its already linked from the com and I guess its linked from the history channel decisive battles page.
Edit: Looks like everything works now, the movie under media is the Official Trailer 4 already out since april
I was able to see all the short clips under factions now and there are three things (except for the armored camels) that I do find strange.
1. Why does CA use clips where friendly fire is shown??
In some older clips we saw onagers happily break down waal sections were the legionairs were fighting, we saw burning pigs flame there own masters, and now in two of the faction clips (Julii and Parthia) we cann clearly see what happens when you let you elephants run through (or over) your own men.
2. The Germans are a bit heavy on (ahistorical) axemen. Even their fighting/screaming women use a battleaxe. If they did this to distinguish them from the swordwielding Gauls and Brittons, they should have better given them all spears, because thats what they used historicaly. But with a double axe as a faction insignia who expected otherwise. (The double axe CA used is an ancient Minoan Sign by the way)
3. In the Egyptian clip you can clearly see an egytian soldier STAB a Spartan with his bronze axe. This could mean that CA has only one onehanded slashing weapons attack animation cycle, meaning all onehanded slashing weapons (swords/axes) will have the same animations. This will not only look odd when you see an axeman or maybe even a druid stab with the weapon, but could influence moddability.
If CA only used a limited animations for different armaments it could mean that all units with spear and shield use the onehanded underhand stabbing animation. From the movies it looks that way. Now if they also hardcoded the animations used by diffenernt units or armaments, this could mean that it will not be possible to creat an overhand stabbing hoplite without having all other spear units use this animation also.
This is of course all theory (and CA hasnt even said that modding animations will be possible), but Bioware did the same thing in NWN, and although some modders are now able to change the default combat animations, they are greatly hindered because of the lack of variety hardcoded in the game.
Oh and I just noticed that there is an AWSOME temple of ceres in the building descriptions
And that you can command Scythian war chariots (I hope this is a typo and means scythed war chariots)
I hope for it too. Because Scythians had no any war chariots. Nomads used war chariots in Bronze age (at least 700 years earlier the beginning of RTW).Quote:

Now .com is compleatly dead.
same result for me dead https://forums.totalwar.org/forum/no...cons/mecry.gif
I have found that the only way to get into the .com right now, is to go through the CA website first.
I had to refresh a bunch of times. I made sure the newest flash version is installed. I'm sure you did and have both, but I think I just caught the site at a time where it wasn't as busy. I dunno really.Quote:

Awesome https://forums.totalwar.org/forum/no...icons/cool.gif
still not working for me,
the site cannot be that busy, have been to busier sites with flash menus and not this kind of trouble have i ever seen before
have tried from several PC's at several locations on different ISP's,
no joy
gah, what is wrong with this site no joy, yesterday or today https://forums.totalwar.org/forum/no...cons/angry.gif
CA would have done well to get the website up and working properly, with all the bugs ironed out, as well as well giving the TW community a chance to peruse it (so we aren't clogging it up with our frequent visits), before DB aired. My concern is that people who have never heard of the game before, will go to the new site, find it isn’t working properly, and decide it isn’t worth their time.
Okay folks the site is clean as a whistle now.Just watched all the vids and checked every part of it with no probs.
DAMN
Thats all i have to say.It was magnificent.I was saying "i cant wait to play with the Romans",then"i cant wait to play with the Gauls".
Seriously though,the Eygptians,Seleucids and Carthage look more impressive then the Romans.I cannot wait any longer for this game.
Finally I could access the site and finally everything worked out fine and finally for the final time it was great. https://forums.totalwar.org/forum/no...s/bigthumb.gif
The faction flash vids and strategic map screenshots look great, I think the game will be awesome. I must admit though that the sight of egyptian pikemen, as well as chariots and armoured camels charging into spearmen like tanks was a little odd.
Looks great...love the fighting animations especially the cavalry.
The site seems to be working fine now.
Was able to get to everything smoothly with no hiccups.
