    No, it's not.

    I mean one of the selling points for the Remaster is updated graphics.

    Yeah, I know. But some games, like Warcraft 3 has this option.

    Not this one.

    Another note.. checking the Remastered files right now and it is really easy to mod the game. Even I could do it. So hopefully that means we get a lot of mods really soon!

    Initial reviews are mixed for the game... which I find rather odd. A lot of people experience crashing.
    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    Haven't crashed for me so far. Although I haven't actually progressed far into the game.

    Works fine for me, so far at least. I think most of the complaints are about the UI which I get. It does take a bit to get used to but I think its fine, though the nostalgia in me wants some parts of the old UI back, like how the characters had their stats measured in stars, scrolls, and wreaths.

    So far from what Ive played I really think that they need to work on pathfinding in cities, especially barbarian ones. Ive forgotten how lousy it is so I hope some improvement is made there in future updates.

    So I played about two hours now and here is my impression:

    As I said, the UI does take a bit to get a handle on, but once you figure it out its not an issue at all. The campaign AI seems to be a bit better, with them acting more aggressively and putting together large stacks to attack you. Ive had three major field battles already, one of them being an ambush that the Gauls sprung on me which was a real surprise since they were waiting in my territory. Combat is a bit too quick for my tastes, but considering I havent played vanilla RTW in well over a decade, I dont know if thats a RTW issue or a remaster issue. Regardless I am sure that modders will get to work on that. One thing that I saw was that the AI will withdraw when it sees that the battle is lost, not fight until every unit breaks which is really interesting. However since the battles are pretty quick, that seems to happen too soon. The graphics also do look really nice, especially at night, but I admit I havent spent a ton of time being zoomed in.

    I am also feeling my way round - it was taking for ever and a day to load in battles and the results - although that may be due to the fact that everyone and his wife was downloading from the server - I don't know if there is any sever interface with the single game.

    Have no merchants: not sure how important they will be in the game and whether they can be assasinated so you can take over their resources.
