speed slider!!

That is a problem. Increasing the speed invariable decreases the framerate, and input becomes unresponsive. It is difficult to return to normal speed in RTW. I don't think bringing the slider back would make a huge difference though.

You could always press CTRL+T to triple the speed, and again to return to normal. I find that's easier to go about than the buttons.

it still takes a bunch of tries to work. The speed slider is so much easier and faster!

Edit the control config so you have a single button for normal speed eg I use F6 key. (with f5 as pause & f7 as full)
Then when you are on full speed & need to go back to normal, you can just pound that key till it works without fear of setting it back to full speed like with ctrl t.

The speed slider would be just as unreponsive. Speed slider or buttons, the underlying code was the problem not the interface.

i want to see the speed slider return! just make it so it cant go any faster than the maximum speed you can select in the demo so you dont get too much slow down.

the beauty of the slider is that you can adjust the speed to how you like it. if you want to play on easy and cant wait to pwn everything you can use it to just move up to the enemy and then charge in and watch the combat animations at normal speed. hopeful the kill rate is going to be not too insane like rome so you can actually watch the fighting going on for more than a minute.

veterains can keep the speed slider slower and thus use some tactics and just speed things up for those long marches to the high ground or whatever

It would be nice to see a speed slider that slowed down combat. This has long been a request conveniently ignored by CA in all their games.
