... just thought I'd share that with you all :laugh4:
I'm very excited; MTW ahs been my favourite so far and I can't wait for the updated version. All the nay-sayers can keep playing STW for all I care - I'm really, really looking forward to M2TW!
:2thumbsup: :jumping:
-edit- Hmm... do I book Friday 10th off work to play it? Hmmm
Believe me, you're not the only one counting down.
Damn right about that, Medieval has been the strategy game that i have played the most (Still play to this day) can't wait for med 2 im counting the minutes lol
Im ticking the days off on my calender as well , sad arent I ,lol
Over the past few months, I have been keeping an eye out on MTW2, however, I have not been avidly posting in any forum, or visiting any website.
This is infact, one of my first posts in many many months, possibly in one to two years!
I am indeed looking forward to it, but to pass the time, I am going to start a new Campaign as the Greeks in Vanilla RTW, and go on a conquering spree.
As well, I'll pass the time by playing me some Battlefield 2, but that is a entirely different genre of gameplay.
I just hope that I can scrouge up enough money to get the game on its first day!
:wall:
Man, dont do that! It will take forever to come. Just relax, forget about it and the days with fly by :2thumbsup:Quote:

I try to do something similar but it simply don't happen... I'm waiting, waiting days and nights, no sleep I'll become mad till the release:dizzy2: I need some compensations from CA :wall:Quote:

I feel like the theme song from Jeopardy should be playing. :2thumbsup:
You think I don know this?
My cellphone, calendar, and planner all have marks on November 14th.
Every waking second of my life is spent contemplating this game.
Every struggle, every breath, it is all for MTW 2.
No doubt, I'm counting down as well, but I have to wait a bit longer, and I don't know untill when. I have to save some money and build a new rig in order to play M2TW.
I hope its only 25 days to go as my local retailer Harvey Norman said 2day that they dont expect MTW2 until December now as its release date has been pushed back, I can only hope that they dont have a clue what they are talking about & r full of *#@!
You aussies always get the short end of the stick. :(
you guys really need to get out more :laugh4:
Contacted EB Games in Launceton they said they would be getting the limited edition of M2tw and their release date had not changed. Just goes 2 show that Harvey Norman have their head up their @#$ as asual and dont know jack $#@@ about what is going on with pc game releases.
The game is apparently to be released on 10th of November in my country (Sweden). :)
Well, for me it's more like 100 days to go - I'll have to wait for my new computer since I'm still running on an AMD XP 2400.
And I won't have the money to afford a new computer before Feburary...
ah, well. At least that gives me opportunity to install any patches that might come out until that point.
I checked it out, some sites say 10th of november, others the 14th of November (Belgium), hope it's the first...
Btw, welcome to the Org TinyTitan, GloryofSparta and Derfinsterling ~:wave:
10th-14th for me (America)
I'm almost at the 100 dollar mark. so I'm going to pre-order it this week. then, a day or two before I go get it, I'll order the 100 buck colelctions edition online, and pick it up at EB games (regular version), then when it comes in the mail (100 dollar one) I take the one I pre-order from the store,EB games back,get a full refund, and pay off the 100 dollar bill lol :-) :-)
It depends on feedback. The release date is of less importance than the knowledge that the game is worth buying
.....Orda
But you need the impatient ones to play the game asap so that they can comment it and tell the patient (and actually smarter) guys that the game is/is not worth buying ... :juggle2:Quote:

As bad as the vanilla version could possibly be im sure some of the community modders will turn it into an amazing game, just look at whats been done with RTW too bad they wont just learn after our example
In my opinion,this game is going to rock :2thumbsup:
I can't really tell how good the Vanillia and MP will be, just from the screenshots,blog (come on,don't help much in telling) and a demo..
Thanks for the welcome Andres. I found some interesting news at the Australian site for CA, they say the game is due for release on 10th November, here is the link http://www.creative-assembly.com.au/news.html
I dont know if that means 10th Nov for Australia or worldwide, we will just have yo wait & see.
Of course M2TW is worth buying, its a Total War game, I am a big fan of the series & spend many a hour playing them. In my opinion M2TW will be better than Medieval because you will be able to do all of the things you wished you were able to do in the first Medieval & the improved diplomacy will make the games diplomacy feel more realistic instead of the scripted, inpersonal feel that it had in Medieval & the graphics are a big improvement oover the old sprites in Medieval as well.
Well done CA the demo is good, the screenshots and game trailers are looking very good & I dont think fans of the Total War series will be dissapointed:2thumbsup:
if i were you, count weeks.
much smaller to count.
or even months i dont care.
so how many days left now?
dont no but i want it now!!:wall:
Is it becuase you have problems with the demo and the SS2 thing? The full game should run on an AMD XP 2400, CA has said so.Quote:

It's quite sad, really. A few weeks ago I bought Company of Heroes - one of the best games I've played in a long time. Since the M2TW demo was released I haven't played it - it just doesn't seem to excite me any more. not that the M2TW demo is any good - personally I think it's rubbish - but I just know that the full game is gonna be awesome. I can't wait til I see the campaign map load for the first time and examine my settlements :bounce:
I keep wanting to load CoH but there's just no castles so I can't bring myself to play it. :wall:
It's called addiction :) addiction to TW.
guys does anyone know if i that have pre-ordered the MTW2 will get the special limited edition?
It can't be assured, but it is to be expected. Sega have said that all of the first prints of the game will be the Limited Edition, which includes a map, then later on they will start to print the "ordinary" edition, without a map. but don't confuse that with the Collector's Edition, which you'll have to specifically order and pay extra for.
But ther is a collector's edition for medieval 2?where i can see it because in amazon there is only the normal one.but with the collector you take the map or not?
http://www.gpstore.co.nz/Screenshots/1515494/1.html
There's the collectors edition info. I can hardly wait for this game either I keep wanting to go to store and buy something to pass the time but nothing looks good (even tho there are quite a few good games out) it's frustratin.
99 dollars how mach is in euros and in the collector's edition there is the map?and POLEMHSTS ise ellinas?
I've posted info on the collectors edition in this thread ~DQuote:

Hi tiny_titan,
The limited edition will be released in Australia but only certain retailers are stocking it.
We are putting out limited quantities and it will only be available if you pre-order it. You can pre-order it now from EB Games, Games Wizards and selected independent specialist retailers.
The SRP is $99.95, the same as the normal edition.
Harvey Norman are not selling the limited edition but will have a bonus Medieval II glass stein, which we are creating specially for them and which will be limited to Australia only.
The release date for Australia has not been pushed back to December. It will be November 23rd, one week after it releases in the UK.
Best Regards,
Chris

Why can't I get a glass stein,i love stein I feel so depraved ::wall:
So anyone figured out how much that is in american dollars or euro's yet :laugh4:
Hey Guys,
Just chatted to Chris myself since was with him at a trade show on tuesday and we were telling everyone that the release dates were 10th in UK and 16th in Australia...
Seems his mail to tiny_titan WAS incorrect and we are in fact still releasing in Oz on the 16th November...
Also the thing he said about Limited Edition for pre-orders is only relevant to Australia - to be safe check with your local distributors for their policy.
P.
Pras, do you think to make a Collectors Edition for rest of the world? I live in Turkey and i want to buy a Collectors Edition.Quote:

AU$99.95 = US$76
The AU price includes a 10% GST so if you remove that, the US price equivalent would be $68.40.
You can convert to different currencies here.
what is the gst and why there is a extra 10% in the price?
okay...time to start saving!
Yes, that's exactly what it is. If it does run, good for me! :2thumbsup:Quote:

AKA government sponsored theft, getting suckers to pay more, games and software tax and generally stupid tax..Quote:

Yes but good news is you get a glass stein :P
So for this preorder i am envious lol.
Man this is like the longest 20 days ever :P
I don't know, but my guess is probably not. GST type taxes usually only apply to in-country orders, not international ones, in order to encourage exports. I do know, for example, that when I order something from Britain to ship here, I don't have to pay their rotten VAT (thank goodness).Quote:

Sucks, doesn't it. Although I do think that there's a lower limit, below which you are tax exempt on personal imports ~:)
It would be heavenly over here to only have to pay a 10% sales tax, you shouldn't complain too much because we have to pay a ridiculous 17.5% on everything.Quote:

I am delighted to hear that the release date for England will more than likely be November 10th, its nice to know that we are getting it quite early indeed :2thumbsup:
Being based in the US at the moment I for one will be aviod M2TW forums from the 10th until I get the game in my hands (well maybe a quick check to be sure the forum is not full of "OMG it suxs" threads). Add to that I will have planning to get Gears or War and CoD3 for the 360 and Neverwinter 2 for the PC so will not be short of things to too... :2thumbsup:Quote:

Of course the fact that ordered the Strategy Guide may lead to a lot of spoiling on the 7th anyway... :book: :laugh4:

Yes, there is a limit. I know because I buy a fair bit of stuff from O/S and I've spoken to customs about what duties are payable. I thought it better to pay duties on the goods rather than have them confiscated altogether as "grey" imports.Quote:

Yeah, but as someone else has pointed out, in Australia the GST is not necessarily the only sales tax you pay on an item. Apparently they retained a lot of the former sales taxes when they brought the GST in. In fact now you hear people complain because they find themselves paying "a tax on a tax" for some items.Quote:

Why u don't update the title of the thread?
I've ordered books from Australia before (they were not released here in the US yet :P ) and I did not have to pay the 10% GST. Which was nice, since shipping was about thirty bucks.
On a related note, here in the Great Satan sales tax depends on what you buy and where you are. In my home state, its only 5.5%, and only for non-comsumables. So, everything but food.
Ohh, and I should mention that I am waiting for reviews. Until that time, MTW for me.
I agree this thread should have it's title changed daily so we can all feel better :)
I have just been lovingly reading the Review in PC Gamer UK an at the bottom it says .....
THIS GAME IS RELEASED ON 24th Nov in the UK ...OMFG !!!! Play.com says the 10th ...LOL :)
^^ Yea, it sucks, Play are like that.
Seriously?
Every shop and site i visit says 10th, Including some M2TW banners.
I'm still putting my money on the 10th
just been here ....
http://uk.pc.ign.com/index/release.html
an they say 24 Nov :(
I have followed their release dates on games before an they have been right ... thats nearly 4 weeks away , UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuuuurgh :(
I doubt it will be the 24th. The game will have gone Gold by the 3rd, when the Gold code day thing is, so it will be ready for mass-producation then. The 10th is looking like a good date for a UK release date.
Only 2 weeks left :sweatdrop:
I'm getting quite excited here :laugh4:
