    Smile Re: Predictions....

    That's too much of a bold prediction for my tastes LOL.

    It's too early to make an educated guess, so I'll go with a gut feeling and say it won't be great but it also won't be terrible.

    I agree, and we can always have mods for it.

    My prediction is that the European factions are going to get boring after a few campaigns due to their similarity and melee will be slimmed quite a bit or remain roughly the same.

    Bows, crossbows, swords, spears, halberds, pikes, javelins, shields, chariots, elephants are so much for fascinating than guns.
    There's something about people in striped trousers wielding swords and spears.

    My prediction is that this game will be more fun than MTW2, and that I will most certainly buy it! (I didn't buy MTW2 after seeing that it was little different from RTW and also didn't have as large modding community as RTW). As long as the core features and AI of the battle map mode are the focus of the developers, it can't really fail... Also, 18th century naval combat hasn't been subject to too many games so it will probably be enough for many hours of great gaming as long as the naval combat AI is decent.

    I take my prediction back, Shogun was the greatest game ever!!! But I'm sure this one will allow me to ignore my wife and chidlren for hours, days, weeks, and possibly months like previous titles.

    I think that's a safe bet :-)

    I've already comlained about potential historical inaccuracies.

    My prediction: the devs will incorporate exploding cannons and muskets and go way overboard. Guns will be exploding like its the fourth of july. It will have to be modded.

    I just found out about Empire: Total War a few seconds ago. I must say that I am very pleased at the turn CA have decided to make.

    I'm looking forward to it greatly.

    The only bug there would be if they had any effect whatsoever. In fact they should give people in armour penalty points for turning up wearing all that rubbish - just on principle.

    Other predictions:
    • Wingeing about historical inaccuracy - as already pointed out

    My side aren't strong enough
    Uniforms are wrong
    Mustaches are wrong (check out the TWC)
    There should be more armour/swords/spears/axes/elephants/dragons/elves/orcs/ninjas/samurai/fantasy/lala
    • My country isn't in it/playable
    Lord help us if Poland isn't a playable faction!

    • I will buy

    • It will be better than Shogun - when I take my rose-tinted specs off

    My grandad got Vista soon after it came out for his laptop, this is bad, why?

    He just given up technophobia of him using computers.
    Vista is confusing, and he is at a state were he struggle to understand where he is.
    Its new, I've never used a vista, dads never, no one in are families used vista.

    I predict that we'll overhype the game by ourselves, without help from CA. When the game is released, we'll be disappointed, mostly because we expected a perfect, bug-free, historically accurate game with ultimate gameplay, and we'll ***** about it without end, completely overlooking the fact that it really is a damn good game.

    Judging by the fiasko that M2TW has become I am predicting that ETW is going to defy the laws of physics by sucking and blowing at the same time. CA is sailing into a disaster
