When the options are cranked up to the max you get some very nice looking vegetation. The game play itself... I guess it's just no quite my cup of tea (or I just need to spend a day or so fiddling with custom battles to see if there's something hidden which will turn my opinion 180 degrees): like Oudysseos, I see that it can be awesome but on the whole I was kind of underwhelmed.

Nice landscape though.

That was my initial impression as well and I thought, this is a TW game, it's really a whole other level not just a prettier version of IG. After playing the game while longer the game has lots of potential and demo/hardware issues aside, I'm still looking forward to the game next month.

I sort of liked it. I was dissapointed for the first 10 minutes, but in the end I sort of fell in love with it. You just gotta get used to this kind of warefare; it's a big change from EB.

Me too - I cannot wait to get my hands on the full version as the fixes and the addition of the Camp. level will be nirvana.

I hated it to start with, felt very arcady and too fast paced, although they must have done osmething to make the maps look a lot bigger and rivers look beautifull. The naval battles are absolutely great, although if they improved the scale of the ships it would be great. I can imagine massive ships where you can zoom into the cannons and such. That would be superb.

Try hitting "Insert" for a 1st person view.

I knew that but I still feel the scale of the ships could be made bigger.

Well I finally downloaded and was pleasantly surprised. P4 2.8 single 7600 GT most of the graphics set to high and had good game flow. Slow on the start and end but the game play it self flowed.
Still trying to get used to the controls but I liked what I saw and I think that is close enough to the Napoleonic Era you will get. The artillery can be powerful.
Like I mentioned the controls were quirky with the zoom but I will get the feel. It was a bit fast at times but I can see the potential especially with the help of our mod community in the Org.

Looking forward to the release.
