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!!

[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".

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]

Honestly? Yes, I would.

[Mongoose]

actually, yes.

[Lief]

Yes.

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

[Mongoose]

Elf night archers pwn lava monsters any day.

[Ferocious_Imbecile]

Yup

Yes. This is how my Roman armies look anyway (+velites).

Yes. BTW, Romans managed to conquer most of the Mediterranean world with that.

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...

Then, why not going a step beyond and ask Sherman tanks?

[Dago]

I dont know if you`ve noticed that the berserks are named "hounds of Cullan", i know that there is celtic myth of Cuchulainn but i`ve never heard about any Culann.

[Angadil]

Why, yes of course...

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...

Well, considering that the 2:2:1 ratio is NOT what the "system" or "establishment" offers, I'd say we're pretty much inconformists around here...

[Forgus]

Cu chulláinn literary means the hound of Chullan. The guy was given the name because when he was a boy he killed the Chullan guy's dog and he had to watch over the house instead...

Why CA chose this name? I guess the same reason why pigs explode.

[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.

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!

[KSEG]

You know, seeing these bitching and whinning and flamewars about BI and RTW is now more intresting then the game itself.

[BDC]

Since when did guys in full armour float? Or swim for that matter?

Even with just a sword and helmet, imagine all that wool clothing getting wet. You'd be doomed.

Or just people who enjoy history. But your theory is good too.

[Mongoose]

What ever. I like the conspiracy theories with aliens more though.


The truth is out there
