Is it just me or are the majority of screenshots in this thread set to medium or low graphics?
I guess not many people have a PC powerful enough to run it. Which is a shame because it looks extremely good on high.
Plus it has a setting for Ultra. Ultra. Who wouldn't want to set their graphics to Ultra?

Mine are on high, with grass and shadows off.
Some say that the game will be much better than the demo in performance. I hope so.
Probably will, CA have time to optimise it for all systems. They don't have to rush it to try and quell Polemists fanatic anger.
Shadows went haywire on mine, and decided to band around my cavalry, making them all look like they were wearing stereotypical french shirts.
Turning them up to full fixed it .

Interdum feror cupidine partium magnarum Europae vincendarum
Sometimes I get this urge to conquer large parts of Europe.
I am on Ultra at 1920 x 1200 with 8xAA. My 30" monitor should be in soon so hopefully I will still be able to get ultra and 2560 x 1600 with hopefully some AA.
This game looks far better then I expected. It looks a lot better the M2TW with a lot higher res textures.
Oh and there are now facial animations on each unit now too. It is kinda cool but they don't do much/don't have too many animations. Yup this Total War has a lot of firsts.
First person is SOOO cool. To bad I lost cause I was watching my ship get ripped apart.

These are on Medium for the most part, I fiddled around with the settings and updated my video drivers and did a system defrag and a system clean up lol. The game runs much better now although I think I might invest in a new card after ETW is released though since it's the best I can do besides buying a new computer which I can't right now.
I thought I was a dead man when the French kept in formation and started turning around me but somehow I managed to fight them off and get the upper hand.
More like a "close defeat" to quote the game
WHOA! That is extremely impressive. I expect we will see a mod that leads to glorious, gigantic, CPU melting battles in the near future.
I'd like to know how well that ran .

I see! 9001 Grenadiers.
Just the limit of 10000 per side I take it.
With that unit who needs much else.

It's a technology you need to research on the campaign map, but the clever modders have managed to unlock it.
That's just insane, modding a demo :DDD
Modded Brandywine, no special traits added, normal difficulty, overcast skies. The AI wasn't very bright, I only had a light force at the other crossing but their general only tried to cross once and I sent him packing. As you can see they got bogged down at the crossing, I lost two units in the battle with another severly weakend.
What I found odd was that the game called it a "close victory" I only lost or had routed two units and even had some in reserve that never saw combat, plus the Mexicans never crossed the river and made it to my side.
One more set:
Modded Brandywine using tutorial map and placement, no special traits, normal difficulty, heavy rain. The AI did alright for itself, I set up to the left and center of town, the Spanish came from the front and then attacked my weaker left flank and turned it in, I had to pull back to the center. At one point the Spanish snuck up a cav unit went round the right and behind my center and attacked my arty.

Wait, what
Mexicans? Spanish, Player controlled Americans?
Someone needs to mod the Demo, now, so I can play as any faction within the Demo!
Thats awesome. I wonder if it is legal for you to give us the files for that battle?
