As we all know, the release of the VI is around the corner. And after reading the new preview on Gamespot, it roused up a few concerns as well as questions. Here are some of the pros & cons of what I picked up off the preview, and a few questions that may be answered hopegully by staff members in the Guild:
Pros
1) Flaming Catapult ammuntion
2) Boiling oil
3) New units (of course)
4) New Factions (bien sur)
5) New map, tech tree, and buildings (yay)
6) Northern France is on the new map
7) Improvements in the tactical AI
8) Organ Gun, nuff said
Question:
-Have you guys noticed that they didn't mention flaming arrows?
-Which of the new factions will be in control of Northern France
Cons:
1) Only 2 Scandinavian provinces (not even that, the map shows about half of the actual "province")
2) No improvements in diplomacy
3) No Glory Achievements for the Viking Era factions, the only option is total domination. Though this may be just a little stretch as far as realism for a faction like the Vikings, but it would but totally ridiculous if a faction like the Northumbrians conquered all of the British Isles including Scandinavia
Well, the Pros most definately outweigh the cons, and for the most part, I was satisfied with the preview and would still purchase the game in a heart beat. And you guys know me, I'm really not the type to complain. Granted though, it's going to be a hard transition from 18th Century Europe to the Dark Ages.
