It's in the "More Previews" thread, but it's still a good video, love all the in-game footage it has.

'Most historically accurate Total War game yet."

Woah now guys, let's not set our goals TOO high now

Although it has been posted elsewhere, I agree this is worth its own thread.

The battles, unsurprisingly, look fantastic.

Pleased to note that India looks huge.

Also pleased to note the shots of infantry fighting in line formation, as opposed to the very deep formations seen in previous screenshots.

A brief shot of the technology interface is visible; anyone with better eyesight than me able to make out what the headings say?

I would really like to see the Techs, but my eyes are getting old.

I liked the idier of a total war from 1900 to 1950, we could play the rise of the Empires here and the falls of the Empires in the next game.

[General SupaCrunk]

That would suck! No modern TW games! Highest they could go is till 1900

[Sol Invictus]

Agree GSC, 1870 would be my cutoff year.

It depends on how good that will be. I'm open minded and all that, but Theatre of War is something I'm thinking of that period when it comes to land combat.

Is this it? Because the whole uniqueness of Total War series has been for me a huge stacks of troops clashing to melee kill. Empire will have more of ranged combat, because gunpowder weapons are introduced. However in that time huge stacks of formations were still the strategy to go and execute. Past Total Wars had a lot of ranged combat too However this was due to wonderful AI and combat mechanics in general, where I could use archers to win pretty much all the time.

So I take it no one has posted yet is good enough at photoshop to drag it out, clean it up and enlarge it for all of us to see?

Shame.....

I noticed the North American/Caribbean Theaters in the video. I saw that the North Coast of South America was included.

Also Alaska doesn’t seem to be there! That cuts Russia out of their North American Fur Trading Empire. Texas and the Great Planes seem to be there so I guess you might come up against mounted Indians and “the worlds best light cavalry” situation…but who knows how many provinces there actually are there…maybe only just a few…

There did seem to be some elephant fighting action though as well (bring on te rocket launchers)

Looking at it again on full-screen it seems the quality is too low to make out what is written anyway.

I suppose it's probably deliberate, the spoilsports.

They never let us have anything nice .

I hope that one of the video trailers involves the technology tree.

"... Alot of our fans have ...like ...critized us about accuracy..."

Naaaahhh.... have we?!?

Something tells me however that critics wont stop :P
