good now?

enjoy!

And this map was held in secrecy? Surely this is still work-in-progress. Or am I getting too used to mods making better and more interesting things than the official games?

it's an alpha version map showed in e3...

[Dutch_guy]

Yes, I do think this is WIP, and do keep in mind the shots are shot in a very low resolution, which literally blurs the image.

Those Papal standing pics. look nice, they found the middle way between the Roman senate system and the Medieval Papal system, which in my opinion is a good thing.

Now let's hope for some High res. shots of the campaing map

[Fwapper]

I really like the look of that papal standing thing. Hopefully the pope will actually be able to back up one faction who have sucked up to them - rather than just trigger happy excommunication.

yes thank you

The map looks too much liek RTW for my liking though...

[MaximianusBR]

I think it's more land in North, West and South...

[Lord Adherbal]

I wouldn't care if the maps looks like that if the AI is (very) good. Otherwise I don't have a clue what they've been doing over the last year. Then thay'd be better off hiring a mod team. Which is actualy not such a bad idea either way...

Following the link given in the map low res screen thread:

http://www.activision.de/new_forum/i...T&f=14&t=2641&

If one checks out the last screen which is of army movements as it appears on the campaign map- you get a reasonably clear picture of the alpha campaign map which should be instantly recognisable to any MTW_VI player as the orignal MTW campaign map, just rendered hideously so in 3-D.

It follows the exact geographical parameters as the orignal mtw map except that the map has been extended slighly east to include a larger part of the arabian peninsula, and on initial appraisal, it appears to me that the no. of provinces will be severely limited, if not as low as MTW, then definately in the same ball park as BI.

Overall just not very impressive.

Also notice the small land-mass in the top left hand corner, in the first pic.

I can't be sure, but I would wager that they have kept the campaign map that size, and used a relatively small number of provinces in order to allow the player to conquer it in 225 turns. Personally I don't like that at all.

[Rodion Romanovich]

graphically much more pleasant than RTW, but that's really all I can say. It would be fun if gameplay went through a massive change for variety's sake. Difficult to judge that from looking at those screenies. The screenies confirm that the graphics are good though.

[MaximianusBR]

I could read what's in screen 4 and it says:

Overviews:

Capital City: London
Faction Leader: Henry
Greatest General: Willian
Generals:4 Regions controlled:3 (I Think)
Cities:1 Castles:2
Batles won:0 Batles Lost:1
Year: 1080 Turns played:1

Victory condictions:

Domination: Hold 14 regions including: Rome, Constantinople, Jerusalem
Outlive faction: France

Turns remaining: 225.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think it show us that are other victory condition along domination, maybe Glorious Achievements....and Cities still have name as it was in Rome...

Oh boy! We'll get to conquer Iceland! That really makes me happy, even though I don't see any strategic, or even economic, advantage in controling it. I guess the land of ice and fire has just always been very interesting to me.

BTW, were the Timurids ever confirmed as a playable faction? Because if they were, I would think the map would have to extend further east.

they are confirmed...but they will be as the mongols...will appear at the map as some kind of advanced horde system...and will not be playable...

[MaximianusBR]

can anyone put the first pic here to me??? my pc is not loading it completely...I can't see it PLEASE!

[Lucjan]

What about the Aztecs? They made a whole fuss about them and now the map CLEARLY doesn't extend that far.
