Demo Discussion Thread

He said that they would remain in position initially, but be brought under normal AI control once you make a move towards either of the fords. This is what happened when I accidentally revealed my light infantry unit that was hidden in the trees near the main ford:


The Americans chased after my light infantry all the way to the my starting position. They were then slaughtered by my prepared line infantry. Notice that there is a battle already underway at the other ford. Some four or five American units crossed that ford (and were utterly defeated) as well.

Hmm in one of my games, the yanks actually did attack the Hessians(+ general, Hussars and light infantry) I left at the starting position, with IIRC 3 line infantry

Yeah! I finally figured out what was wrong and was able to play the demo. Its awesome!! Can't wait till it comes out. I was hesitant after hearing all the negatives about it but after playing I found out it was awesome so that relaxes me until it comes out.

Personally, I didn't have too much trouble with loading times, they're hardly any worse than what I was used to with RTW 1.5 + EB. I do run the full graphics though, that might have something to do with it.

I miss the arrow keys, and I'm not entirely sure why all key-functions should be grouped under the left-hand-side of the keyboard. Oh well, you can probably re-assign hotkeys anyway.

from what i hear, the idea of doing that is to promote better form for playing computer game. i read a study in the NY Times that you have less of a chance of getting Carpel Tunnel if the keys for moving are on the left side.

So far.... meh.
Certainly there seems to be a lot of Imperial Glory in there.

Looks like lots of good modding potential though.

hmmm.it doesn't let me switch to high or very high on the settings mode thing. The options are just low and medium...

Well.... maybe you just can't handle it? You can just change the settings manually...
