When are you going to buy NTW?

Here is a review that is worth reading.

It is a hands on that speaks to a few of the changes and how they work, though it is done on a pre-beta version of the game.

Pay attention to what they have said.

Smoke filled battlefields where you can't see what is happening? All of the graphics changes and they are going to do it on the same system requirements as ETW?

Never ever. I actually had to torrent the game i bought in order to play with the 1.3 patch and it was stillcrap anyways... worst TW game to date by far

Nice, it sounds pretty nice though I'm curious about what percularities they didn't talk about. I hope the STW fog comes back with a vengence.

I hope they are working hard on patch 1.1.

They said that they were known issues, so with some luck on CA's part, we will never know.

They are adding these new graphical bells and whistles on the top end of everything. It will probably look identical to ETW on low and high with only the old stuff enabled. Therefore it has the same min and rec specs while still being capable of much more.

I'm not in a rush to buy it, but I definitely have my eye on it for a simple reason: the new units will make it easier for modders to integrate them into the original game. So hopefully we will see some cool mods using NTW models as top end upgraded troops at the end of the century, so you aren't still seeing all tricorn wearing infantry in 1799.

I'm basically thinking how Stainless Steel integrated the new factions and units from Kingdoms into the basic MTW 2 campaign.

I changed my mind yesterday to "definitely not" or "never ever" after watching a preview from the dvd of my favoured german game mag. It was a "pre beta" of the german version.

- The previewer stated a dumb BAI, but CA will "of course" fix it for release

- The french troops answered in german in the vid (he played the battle of Ligny against the prussians)

- The complete game version (even pre-beta) looked for me like a mod of empire. Maybe a good one, but my first thought was: Looks like a mod. But just my subjective opinion.

Like Barbarian Invasion for R:TW, or even M2:TW to R:TW?
