Random Screen Requests

[Polemists]

So there are a few screenshots going up now, but thought maybe somewhere to put a request of screenshots for those of us not getting the game on day one would be good.



Okay...to those of you who get the game soonish (aka before the 7th like me)

I would like to see a screenshot of the Choose the Faction Screen.

I always set it as my wall paper before I buy the game and it helps get me in the mood.

Thank you :P

[Greyblades]

when I get it I will do that first thing... if I can pry my fingers from the keyboard that is.

What resolution would you like?

[pevergreen]

This is a good idea. I'm happy to fufill any requests. My default res will be 1680x1050.

Graphics will be high. Any faction will be possible.

Prussia - and perhaps a shot of the Prussian unit roster from the custom battles section?

Thanks.

I'm gonig to be waaaay to into the game to provide screenshots for the first few days. After that though I can get some nice high-resolution Ultra shots.

[Polemists]

For me like I said, Just the Choose a Faction screen.

Any faction is fine, preferably Austria is possible.

Interesting victory conditions, they essentially must take away England's colonies in the Americas. No surprise though, I forgot that the French and Indian wars happen during this time frame.

[Polemists]

That is awesome, now if only I could get Austria and it could be in English, that would rock

Wow, I guess you get what you ask for, if you ask a large enough group of people.

I had never seen this shot before, so well done quadalpha .

So France will not start with Louisiana ?!

[Polemists]

I believe, if you look at the map there is a lower and upper louisana. If you recall the area Napolean sold during the Louisana purchase, was actually originally spainish land. So it could be controlled by spain in this time frame.

They actually get a fair bit more of Canada then I thought. It's pretty intriguing. What I don't get is why is the only thing they hold in france paris?

Shouldn't they hold some of the smaller provinces or something?

I guess the trade theatres arn't shown, but I'd think they'd also own something in the Carribean.

Hm I'm not that familiar with the history of Louisiana but I thought it should have been french in 1700

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana_(New_France)

[Polemists]

Ah yes Wikipedia, never fail.

Yep, as you see in that article (I am not a historian)

the spainish stuff was much much further back

The first European explorers to visit Louisiana came in 1528. The Spanish expedition (led by Panfilo de Narváez) located the mouth of the Mississippi River. In 1541, Hernando de Soto's expedition crossed the region.

Maybe though since they do say

in 1699. By then the French had also built a small fort at the mouth of the Mississippi at a settlement they named La Balise (or La Balize), "seamark" in French

That there is only a french fort there, and not a entire french city.

Thanks.

Any other requests?

[Monk]

Interesting stuff! I'm glad to see they handled technologies by way of a period system, the unit selection is nice and neat.

Let's see some Russian troops in battle please! Doesn't matter against who.

[Incongruous]

Austria, Austria and more Austria is needed! Some Imperial Grenadiers and Jagers.

[Dogfish]

So France will not start with Louisiana ?!

Maybe protectorates don't show up on the owning faction's selection screen? If you look at the selection screen for Britain here (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...=113093&page=4), it doesn't show them as controlling the 13 colonies. Probably the same for France with Louisiana, and though Florida does show up when selecting Spain...

hahah! See my upcoming thread for...well...

As soon as I get into a battle, yes. It wont let me alt tab anymore.

[Sheogorath]

Looks like they ditched the (semi) traditional faction select screen...I dunno how I feel about that scrolling method there...I prefered MTW1's list method, myself.

[pevergreen]

They have, but theres so much info, i dont know if a list could be done!

[Barkhorn1x]

Very nice shot - thanks pevergreen.

[A Very Super Market]

Doesn't France also hold Strabourg?

Anyways, quick! Find the descr_strat file and let us see all the juicy tiny factions!

[pevergreen]

Theres no desc_strat!

I cant find anything I can mod without unpacking, WHICH DOESNT WORK FOR ME!!!

Monk's screen:

*Sniff

Okay...

Can you get a screenie of Germany? I just want to see the number of states.

[pevergreen]

More specific please. In campaign, or the selection screen?

If anyone is wondering, that is the battle for St. Petersburg in my AAR.

[Monk]

I like how both sides seem to be using effective cover. Very cool!

Thanks for the screen pever, three and a half hours left before i can begin downloading.

[A Very Super Market]

Oh forget it.

Just get some of your Russian empire please! Your current one.

[pevergreen]

Details boy, Details!
