Well I just pre-ordered so hopefully I will still be in the inital beta stuff.
Frankly no AI that I've ever come across, except in chess, can do squat against a slightly better than average human. Without cheating that is.
Expression: Never look a gift horse in the mouth.
it cert looks like it's grid all the way, though I will agree with someone above in that I've been waiting for a "fantasy" Total War for some time. Closest I got was Mark of Chaos, etc, with Warhammer. But a Fantasy Total War type RTS portion of the game, especially with moddable terrain and a few thousand units, and wizards, dragons able to do insane damage? Yes plz.
I think a loyalty stat would be very important, especially for allowing civil wars/splits in vassal families (which would be awesome) -Think of your best vassal family spltting early for half (whatever %) to join the enemy in a campagin. Could bring up some very interesting possibilities. Not to mention the joy in hunting them down over a hundred years. Hatfields and Mccoys? Pffsha, they got nothing.
I'd also like to point out that there's more inbreeding today (closer) than there was in the mideval era. Cousin marriages that today would be allowed would be illegal back then. Although of course these rules were sometimes broken, as is life.
I believe someone from SD said might be somewhere between Sep. 3-5? I'm goint to pre-order today (Just under the wire I think..hope).
God I'd love a new version of Dark Sun...
Plus you could pretty much 'make' a hero in game by just giving a ton of essence to a single creature. Mmm...dragon with lots of essence..oh yeah.
I'm gonna go with a lot of customizable heroes...but since we'll be able to add our own heros via editing...*shrug* Don't really matter.
I will probably buy it, maybe. I have like alllll the add-ons for the last one.
I hate you guys for not giving me karma..oh wait I didn't pre-order yet anyway..ah well.

I agree with longer, better, beta...of course I'll be pre-ordering soon..
Thanks for the info, thought about trying this game out.
I'll just wait for the new one to come out.
Can't remember if this was shown but it needs to be...just d/l'd a pack of 2,600 posters...so, yeah..
Yeah, I've liked the Anno series, this one is good too.

Yeah my Evga 285GTX is preset to 40% fanspeed, though I usually dont use anything above 60%. ALWAYS get software for your heat/controls, etc from the maker. Learned that the hardway...
Def should not get full tech in trading, bad balance for multiplayer games.
I def love never ending tech, as I feel bad when all the infrastructure I put into teching is made useless. And I love a good turtle...
Imo most people who use the term in either form are idiots..and usualy wrong and just being dicks.
This is awesome as long as they don't totally consolize it. Also I don't remember Mech4 being worse than the others. I still have the cds fro Mech4 and all the add-ons..and now it's free! But god I really hope they don't mess this up.
I need to get back to playing this...and buy the upgrade/expansion. I'm poor.
I could have sworn I already posted in support of this, but because I apparently didn't: Good idea!
Remember also, the NSA needs to copy all the traffic so thus it must be. This is a joke...and also not really a joke. Hi NSA!
