Replays (consolidated thread)

[Hobot]

I think that replays were certainly a cool feature, and I definately enjoyed their use. In fact I showed multiple replays to friends of mine who were interested in historical battles, since it is cool to demonstrate medieval tactics using the Total War graphics engines (which you have to admit, for their time are always damned impressive). However this is a gimmick feature that does not in any way shape or form make the game worse for not existing. If there is a legitamate reason for why it is too difficult/costly to include them in MTW2 because of the new engine, that's fine by me. I seriously doubt that CA ever does or doesn't do anything with the intension of pissing of the hardcore community randomly...

My Poll question got totally messed up.

I didn't know that:

You can only add a poll to a thread within 30 minutes of posting the thread.

Creating Polls has always been a PITA for me, as the software is so limiting, and the instructions---what instructions?? The software shouldn't require the a Post and then have the *Poll* added to it. Particularly, when the only way to create a Poll is to Post first!!!!

Anyways,

The question is supposed to be:

Are battle replays important?

a) Yes.

b) No.

c) The answer is so numbingly obvious, its insulting to be asked. Of course, YES!

d) What's a Replay?

Oh well, maybe i'll try again later.

Actually, I had five Polls lined up, thinking I'd post them one right after the other, but the 30 minute limit screwed that up. I would say delete this thread, but people are responding. Moderator do as you think best. I really wanted the Poll questions answered but.....

When you create a thread, I think there is an option at the bottom "add poll to this thread" that you can tick. After you submit your post, you will then be taken to a page to set up the poll, where you can set up to 30 options, so you can fit in multiple questions (you also need to tick the box to allow multiple responses though).

Please don't try again on this topic - I really think this thread is enough and the poll I added for you covered all five questions you asked in your six threads using exactly your own words.
