None as far as we know get.
I bought it and of course already read it and it's very interesting.
One already said here "in the magazine there is a screenshot with soldiers fighting in a dry channel and others firing from a bridge." That's what the description of the screenshot in the magazine says, but it is wrong though. It's not a dry channel but a massive fortress's dry trench it seems. So it looks like we're going to fight for really massive forts with bastions and trenches I think.

I just this morning saw a German Magazine with about a dozen pages dedicated to Empires...but I forgot to get the name of the publication...maybe later in the week if someone else doesn't post it before I get back there.
The Campaign map was a world map and there was something about Australian Colonies founded in 1788...I didn't realise it was that lately settled.
Sorry I don't read enough German to give a more compleat report but it sure looks like it is going to be a beautiful game if nothing else.

It is one of the biggest German Game magazines, very good actually.

Yes, it is very likely that it was. Sorry I didn't see the other post! But it should expand our knowledge a bit once we have a translation and some screen shots.Originally Posted by pevergreen

I hope this isn't Piracy, but couldn't someone please quote from the mag about what it says on AUssie, pretty please!
Sir? That looks royally bitching.

Australia, China, Southern Hemisphere Africa, Antarctica are excluded as stated in GameStar. We can only wonder how weird their map would look like.Originally Posted by Warluster

Actually I think the picture may be a bit backwards. I f they have india and some of the east indies on the side of the campaign map that Eastern europe is normaly on then you could expand over land with the Ottomans. And on the other side where the americas are now on the M2 map they would have the far east indies. That way you could take the seroiusly hard overland route to make it too the east. Or you could go west. @_@

Well lets hope you can conquer The Northern bit of Australia....
I can already see a expansion, one with new factions and a extension of the map to include Siberia, China and Australia....
Reading this summary thread I think my possible appreciation for the upcoming ETW is increased(Of course I maintain skepticism.)
The fact that a large part of the world will be represented (according to that magazine) is good and that alone scores many points with me.
Emotion, passions, and desires are, thus peace is not.

Going by that map how are you supposed to get to India by sea if the bottom of africa is cut off???![]()

not trying to insult but Australia ? i dont think they have any hope of making an apperance, i did australian history for a year in school (most unfortunatly) and they didnt do a thing until world war 1 (got shot to bits at gallipoli) , there was never any massed rebelions or wars, just a slow genocide , mainly through desease, but with the odd skirmish between natives and settlers
i couldnt really see what kind of units they would field anyway
any one have any idea if there will be any previews in any uk magazine soon?
Gallipoli was really Churchills fault ( the 'mastermind') behind the plan :P
but hey, thats what you get from a totally dependant Foreign Policy i guess :P
hmmmm Australia would be a good tax place as well as a place to recieve Europes prisoners :)
i can see it now... a convict army :)
I have a question....Will the timeframe include 1878?
Sorry Galapagos. The timeframe is 1700-1800, although some sources do claim that it extends 1820. Sorry.
Dawn is nature's way of telling you to go back to bed
I wasn't sure they said early 1800's.It would have been to good to be true to include late 1800's.
Anyone know what the release date is/ is estimated to be ?
If you remember me from M:TW days add me on Steam, do mention your org name.

I'm kinda disappointed that the American Civil War wont be in cause of the timespan.

Would anybody like a event Civial War then? Would make no sense!
Additionally the U.S. doesn't belong in the vanilla game, because they were just a colony by the start of the game - so leave the U.S. for a expansion like kingdoms.
A Napoleon/Civil War(but you would need railroads for this) expansion.
argh!you lucky german's!

Well nothing's been officially announced yet, but I would be shocked if the game didn't come out around this time next year. Thus far, CA has faithfully stuck to a schedule of releasing new games in late summer of even-numbered years, and expansion packs in late summer of odd-numbered years. Ergo, ETW will most likely come out August/September 2008.Originally Posted by Sinan
I highly doubt CA will ever make the Civil War for the TW series regardless. With only two main factions, the American Civil War wouldn't translate very well to the TW style of play.Originally Posted by Jeroen Hill
