    Default Total War.com new look

    Check it out:

    Link

    Features an amazing looking trailer, some new info on factions (have the Mayans been added too? Is there more factions than 21?) and more besides. Loving that Byzantine Kataphract, and the great Aztec music.

    Visually nice indeed. Can't hear the music, and I definitely got sound turned on.

    Having a mayan faction is the equivalent to the MTW italian one.

    Actually, I was more intrigued by this part:

    Greater accessibility.

    Experience a faster multiplayer mode on the battlefield and keep the online conflict raging.
    Really makes me wonder...

    EDIT: Ah, just found the soundtrack section. It evokes something of an andean flute there. Or was it a mayan double one heh

    Hurrah!

    I always thought the .com needed a facelift!

    The soundtracks section is quality, looks as if Jeff van Dyck has made another excellent score for MTW2. The "Going Home" song made me feel all tingly....cant wait now

    Oh well. I don't have admin on my work machine, so I can't upgrade to Flash 8, and I keep JavaScript turned off for security purposes. I will actually have to surf the web from home now.

    "Euro Battle" sounds cool and will get you geared up for battle, but the organ sounds really out of place. That part of the piece sounds like it should be in the 17/18th century ...

    Anyone else notice the generally clumsy use of English on that site?

    This is better, since now it's organized. It was a real mess before.

    About time they upgraded that God awful site. It's what drove me here, although now I'm glad it did.

    Very nice new look, sleak and swanky. Can't wait for MTWII.

    The new site is splendid, but I really don't like this "exhibiting style".. I mean e.g. in the faction descriptions why do not they list all the playable factions, would it be so difficult?
