Shogun Totalwar 2 (whats the game plan here)

[Swoosh So]

Hey mike, Ive been playing some ntw with amp and actually its a decent totalwar release. was just the period that we really dident like and is why it took so long to get into it on the grand scale of things it comes just after mtw1 on the how good is it in mp ladder. Its quite different from other totalwars in terms of tactics and takes a while to get into. The MP campaigns are quite popular but not with the usual MP crowd although every time ive got one of them to play it they have had fun and the main foyer contains around a steady 20 battles which isent bad considering theres a ton of players still playing empire. While it cant compare with the likes of sc2 i think its fair to say that it does compare with games like dawn of war that has a similar amount of battles hosted. The main problem the game has and the reason NTW isent booming online is the complete lack of a chat foyer theres nothing! you can only talk in the game setup or ingame or bloody steam! :\ For most veteran totalwar players thats like the worst thing CA could have done to the series i mean my god they give a mp campaign and finally a good game and they take away the chat foyer. CA are in edinburgh tonight doing a Q&A session ive a good mind to go picket them with a sign that calls for a MP chat lobby :p


Anyway get yourself on msn from time to time and hope to see u in shogun2 or ill have to find another wolf to help trim the fat of our clanmates in 2v2 practices :)

Im probably too bad for all you hardcore player out there, at least pretty rusty... Same with my english skills, did wrote and talk for some years just german.

In the end, i run a new Company, 2 kids, 4hours sleep a night, i did my sailturn at last, so i had my 12 months break and now back for work.
What i try to say, less time to play a computer game unless i take a year off again its almost impossible that you will see me online ;)

MSN i have on from time to time, mostly if i travel. I promise i gonna put it on more often ;)

Hello Koc. It's good to see you pop in here to share a few words, if only briefly.

I hope they rework diplomacy. I saw a GoogleTechTalk with Soren Johnson and some of the "unfun, unfair" AI stuff he talked about is exactly the type of AI that the Total War series has. The one that comes to mind the most is how the AI in TW is hard-coded to dogpile on the player eventually.
