Link does not work for me :(
Link works, but i can't download anything (when i click on download it says: server not found)
:help:
The download works. It just takes aaaages to launch... Probably due to heavy traffic.
Downloading right now. It weighs 225.7 MB.
11 more minutes...
I`ve checked the link twice and it works, maybe you have something wrong with internet.
The sound don't work
It Works!!!
Ok sorry, my fault it does work!
I`ve played it and i must say that this is worse then i thought. I will definitivly not buy it, even if EB will mod it. BI just sucks! I launched it, played 2 minutes and delete it from my PC.
Too bad it's only a historic battle preview. Most of the changes are probably going to come in the campaign map, and I was hoping you'd perhaps be able to play a turn or ten... But alas.
Nevertheless, I had fun. For what it's worth, the battle AI really *has* improved... It's especially obvious in the Hun vs Romans battle.
Just a note about the AI, the battles could be scripted(i don't know exactly since i didn't downloaded the demo) and maybe that's why you have the feeling it's better, it may be a marketing scam by CA.
It's working now. Remember to unlock the other factions.
I'm downloading the demo at the moment and i can openly say it i don't expect any miracle too much. I was looking for the custom battle but they decided a historic (well prepared and designed) eyecandy. BI demo will not reflect any a helpful source for us. It's just a false advertisement. I shall care only communities rewievs when the expack is out. :bow:
i hate myself for doing it, but I'm curious
No, the AI isn't scripted, only battle scripting in there concerns intros and battle victory tweaks. And if you want to be absolutely sure that there are no scripts involved in the battle you can get BKB's battle pack for the demo.Quote:

I don't get it, should I wait for the Saxons to attack? My Sarmatians near the start weren't even any help because they got obliterated by the Onagers.
Do CA even play the demo first? They're conversation must be like "Ok, that's good Joe, but add some random skirmishers and mix up the units on the faction selection screen and give them random amounts of experience and weapons, that looks too normal to me."
"But boss that doesn't really make sense, what good would half of these things be to the user? It will just confuse him and he won't know what to do at the start."
"Joe, are you saying you don't want to screw over our consumers?"
"N-No! No boss not at all..."
"Good get back to work."
Hmm. My question is: Why steppe swordsmen? Why steppe spearmen?
Thank you. :bow:
What sort of steppe infanty was actually used´in the period? only dismounted cavalry?Quote:

Ignore the unit selection - you knew it wouldn't be any good.
Then try the battle pack to look at the AI - I got smashed on BKB's Badon Hill II (forgot actual name). The AI (gasp!) did the sensible thing got on the biggest hill and sat there. Try it playing on VH as the Saxons. ~:cheers:
well i got the BI demo on tuesday.........and its great!
None of the links work. Can anyone direct me to one that does?
Don't download it PC! Make more skins for us instead! ~D ~DQuote:

Watch the intro, dude. It clearly says what you must do. It isn't CA's fault if the players are blind.Quote:

Not so loud, Dux! :disappointed:Quote:

downloaded and while i was playing i had a CTD :@
seems cool but IA seems still to stupid, non prepared charges leaving the flanks alone and you know... same shit different smell
+ CONS
look at the onagers, now really eat people
look at the burning sticks that soldiers carry! when they hide, they light it off, when they un hide they turn it on
the defensive hedgeog formation guys are just a mobile unorganized phalanx unit, look, take 1 unit and order TO MOVE (NOT TO CHARGE) into the enemy, they hit like the phalanx did
new interface WOW!!!! OMFGZ BEST 50$ ever to buy a game with new interface and mobile carried scorpions LLLLLLLLLLLLLLoLLLLLLLLLLLLL
lol! xbows in action in this time
**** activion, they didnt want to even fix rtw bugs, now we should NOT buy this shit
2nd CTD ....
3rd...................
whats that battle pack? how do i use it? where did you find it? is it legal? :S
It just takes the maps in the demo and puts different units and scenarios on them... like that RoDeO thing before Rome was released.
your sig definatly needs some explanation...
Oh come on the Demo isn't that crappy. At least they fixed the annoying horse archer not firing on move bug :charge: and the Units, even though they still look a bit comiclike, are by far not as crappy as then Vanilla ones.
