Re: Demo out on 22 February 2011
I've messed around a bit with the campaign tutorial, but have yet to try a battle. The atmosphere and music are great as Kage mentioned. So far, the campaign map is very channeling. I am hoping this still allows for a variety of battle terrain (woods, hills, etc), but the demo will not help determining that.
So far, I like what I've seen.
BTW, this is a great demo by adding a mini campaign rather than just a battle or two. Nice work CA.

It looks like they finally have a Total War that seems polished. The Encyclopedia is very Civesque. Hopefully htis game will be the Civ4 of the franchise rather than the Civ5.
Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.

I lost the final battle tutorial. My coordination was all wrong, and the enemy ended up slaughtering my units piecemeal as they attempted to storm the castle. I hope the AI does as well in other battles.
Re: Demo out on 22 February 2011
Any idea if the battle AI is scripted for the tutorial?

Re: Demo out on 22 February 2011
well seems their servers are great, I downloaded the demo in 20 minutes or so.
first impression is that the game is moving great. although I have a great PC I always had a sense of fragility playing Empire (and a CTD that I never explained although I put all IT from my workplace team to seek the cause because at some point I suspected my PC) so I hope that the game will be the same. if will be easy modable it will be even better.
the game is moving great and that fog of war with old shoggy map looks nice.

Re: Demo out on 22 February 2011
I think at least part of the tutorial AI has to be scripted. They wouldn't hang out their archers/gunpowder out to dry like in the second tutorial battle.
Also, don't besiege the second province you take. It'll try to do strange things with tutorial battle, and afterwards you'd get stuck if you tried to assault.

Downloading now, next to the Dragon Age 2 demo. It's gonna take me days lol
Not even sure why I'm bothering though, with the campaign restricted to autoresolve. CA is going to keep the real AI under wraps...

According to a mod on the official site the AI "is not technically 'on.'" I would say your suspicion is warranted, Alexander. It sure does look like they're hiding something...Originally Posted by drone
