Re: Graphics don't look so good
I can't believe how critical some people are being considering how this game has barely passed the alpha stage, I would say that the game looks fantastic and considering this is the first time CA has devled into naval battle, good on them!
I play Custom Campaign Mod with 1.2!

Re: Graphics don't look so good
Oh my, oh my, oh my. I bought a new dualcore PC with a Geforce 7950 last year, yes, just to accommodate M2:TW. I hope I can play Empires at the highest graphic settings, else I'll be very disappointed. It's such a nice feeling to have everything run smooth at high resolution, with RT Shadows and everything for once. Don't wanna lose this feeling just because CA decide it's time to push the limit!

Re: Graphics don't look so good
The troops in the screen shots have probably not completed, like
many other game creators, they make the units with good enough
graphics to like at the start for previews, then they l8er complete the
unit with new shading & effects. 1 note-able game this was done with
was Halo 3, in the beta then the graphics weren't complete either. nor
is quite alot of the screenies.
Re: Graphics don't look so good
I can safely say what you are looking at is very early work. Things have moved on since then.
Lighting is a bit broken, textures are an early pass and the men are "placeholders" and not "the full monty".
Some of the ships are stuck "in irons" as a result of turning through the wind and as a result the sails, which are also not using the full sail model, look a bit ropey.
The naval AI is still being written.
Things will move on. I'm glad you still think it looks good though.
When you see the sea "in action" you will realise that it really is better than almost any game you have seen before.
