I have the opportunity to play the game for a while, and there are people from Sega, Atari and CA there to talk.
It lasts from 12h - 17h, with interviewing around 14h. There will be people from the press (at least one gaming site... probably more) and probably a few more people invited specifically.
And of course there is a drink afterwards with a snack :)

Because the person that invited me was really enthusiastic about me trying to gather questions on this site and Total War Center, I think the main reason is to generate interest in the game and give people a first feel of the game. I know the gaming site that's coming brought a camera last time {{edit: last time they went to a preview event that is... which was for a racing game of the xbox.. forgot which one}} , so if they are allowed to make pictures/make video's, those will be available on that site too (not sure if link to the site is allowed on these forums?)

It's a pretty nice initative, and I'm very lucky to be able to go :).

I'll try to get as many questions answered as I can... I'll group them on thursday evening so until then, keep them coming :).

Will Protestantism be a religion late in the game?

My most important question is on the moddability of the game. It's easy to imagine more detailed questions on the subject: Will they lift the faction limit? Will they be releasing any tools, will they change the 3d model format.

Another question: What happens to crusading armies that didn't make it in time?

Thanks for this Soulflame

You are indeed lucky.

Are artillery fortifications back?
Do towers still have ridiculously short range but ridiculously high rate of fire?
What are the late game units like (there appears to be a transition to less heavily armoured pikeman and swordsmen)?
Exactly what benefits do you get from the particular guilds?
Can the Papacy be conquered, or made a protectorate, etc?
What are the mod possibilities (esp. tools)?

In The Gamesyndicate in The Hague. It's a cybercafe with a complement of 53 pc's according to the site. I might as well just post the links, remove them if you consider that advertisement for a gamesite or whatever;
The Dutch gaming site; http://www.insidegamer.nl/
The contest to win a spot to go to the event; http://www.insidegamer.nl/pc/medieva...ubrieken/11811
(note that I didn't have to compete since the Atari representative contacted me through the forums... but at least 5 other happy gamers will win a spot and come, and of course the PC press guys from the website... and presumably more websites with more people)

The location; http://www.gamesyndicate.nl/

Perhaps I can bring a camera as well, I'll see if I can do it, but the gaming site will no doubt cover it themselves as well.
