bubbles and sparkles. plus men flying about wiht berserkers..wich look short

[Afro Thunder]

Yes, the bubbles look ridiculous. What the hell was in that chili the troops had before the battle?

The sparkles? Those are only meant to make it easier to show when a unit gains an experience point, just like that gigantic banner is only meant to identify the unit. Consider it part of the interface.

As for the berserkers, well, they ain't called berserkers for nothing you know!

[Tux]

Well you can remove those so it's no problem what disturbes me is the sparkles that may not be able to remove.

[Teleklos Archelaou]

I would also like techno-music and someone yelling "FIGHT!" right at the start of the battle. Oh yeah, pirates too. Plz! Thx!

[Dago]

*no comment*, but the floating bodies are done real good.

[abortretryfail]

Afro Thunder:

You have a Bactria sig from EB. I was looking for the unit preview for them but couldnt find it. I assume it must have come out if you got the sig right?

[Steppe Merc]

abortretryfail, that is a Bartix. A bit of a difference.
But yeah, we have released Baktria. Try looking back a bunch of pages...

[Copperhaired Berserker!]

Oh yeah! Berserkers rule!

No, but really, I find that sparkle quite useful. I mean, you're fighting them, no need to look at unit cards, just see that sparkle. As for bubbles and splashs, They've just started doing it! It's a demo, for goodness sake! It will be better in the full version!!

[abortretryfail]

Aha, I see. At first I thought it was some archaic spelling I was unfamiliar with. Then I found the "Bartrix" thread. I hurried back here to edit my post but was too late. Thanks for the reply.

[jerby]

well, the anoying part is those details are nice (or not). but it makes it even more frustrating thate they could hav espent more time on, perhaps, research...

[Chester]

The demo was terrible. I'm not purchasing BI until a modification is released.

[Viking]

Gah! Yet another ranting thread about BI. Why can`t you just realize that BI isn`t going to be the game you want? Threads such as this won`t help making CA change their mind.

BI seems to be a great improvement over RTW; play it yourself please before you rant, and by that I don`t mean the demo but the full-version of course.

Well you can remove those so it's no problem what disturbes me is the sparkles that may not be able to remove.

Yeah those sparkles probably dissapear after a few seconds, actually not a bad idea if you ask me.

[Conqueror]

I don't mind a visual effect for the valor upgrade, but I think there's plenty of ways to do it more elegantly than throwing magic sparkles. Such as making the unit's banner to display some "upgrade!" symbol, or the unit card to flash for a moment. Sparkles are just way silly

[Dux Corvanus]

Ok, Sonic-like sparkles, warriors acting like Neo in Matrix... Wait... those are ninjas! Real ultimate power! Berserkers are cool, and when I say cool, I mean totally sweet. Those guys are flipping out and cutting heads all the time, and may suicide randomly...

[Mongoose]

Did you know that a berserker once killed an entire town just because a kid opened a window?


here are some facts:

Facts:



1. Berserkers are mammals.

2. Berserkers fight ALL the time.

3. The purpose of the Berserker is to spin around and kill people.

FAQ:


Q: Why is everyone so obsessed about berserkers?

A: berserkers are the ultimate paradox. On the one hand they don't give a crap, but on the other hand, berserkers are very careful and precise.



Q: I heard that berserkers are always cruel or mean. What's their problem?

A: Whoever told you that is a total liar. Just like other mammals, berserkers can be mean OR totally awesome.



Q: What do berserkers do when they're not cutting off heads or spining out?

A: Most of their free time is spent getting drunk, but sometime they eat bear skin. (Ask Mark if you don't believe me.)

[Dux Corvanus]

LOL... now I know where CA got inspiration...

[Mongoose]

Yeah, the games going to be totaly sweat. I hope they have flaming wardogs too.


And maybe "spanish bull cavalry"?

[Big_John]

i don't know why you guys are so hung up on the berserkers. once CA puts the orcs in, the berserkers will be "t3h l0lz".

[Samurai Waki]

it's just a game anyway *mumbles* stupid CA and their hedgehogs destroying reality.

The real issue is with the orc-berserkers

[Afro Thunder]

Would you prefer to be forced to have Pre-Marian Roman armies with Hastati, Principes, and Triarii in a ratio of 2:2:1 without a choice, and having nearly no cavalry at all?

[KingOfTheIsles]

Would you prefer to be forced to have Pre-Marian Roman armies with Hastati, Principes, and Triarii in a ratio of 2:2:1 without a choice, and having nearly no cavalry at all?

Honestly? Yes, I would.

[Mongoose]

Would you prefer to be forced to have Pre-Marian Roman armies with Hastati, Principes, and Triarii in a ratio of 2:2:1 without a choice, and having nearly no cavalry at all?

actually, yes.

[Lief]

Would you prefer to be forced to have Pre-Marian Roman armies with Hastati, Principes, and Triarii in a ratio of 2:2:1 without a choice, and having nearly no cavalry at all?

Yes.

And we all know orc beserkers can be countered by summoning lava monsters.

[Mongoose]

Elf night archers pwn lava monsters any day.

[Big_John]

OMGZERGRUSH!

seriously though, this looks awful. let's all pray that something useful to the mod community will come out of this expansion.

maybe CA will sell TW engine to paradox or something and we can get back to historical war games.

[Mongoose]

I think they said something about not lifting any of the mod limits.


I kinda stoped playing RTW anyway. Broken AR makes the game a never ending nightmare of slowly hunting down the AI's broken up four unit armies. I am going to wait for EB before giving up on it though.

[Afro Thunder]

After seeing three people answer "yes" to my previous question in a row, I have concluded that I am in a forum full of conformists...

[Mongoose]

Hey, i am the evil all powerful dark lord of your nation, show some respect


Don't make me use the FULIX POWEIX OFIX BARTIX!
