Lol, I think the installer will not let me install the game. Might give a error message: "Dowly, mate. Maybe it´s best for the virtual europe and all the innocent civilians that will fall under your command that I break your DVD drive. Press OK if you agree. Press Install anyway to format C:\"

:rotfl:

Dont worry, Boris, when GWX comes along I`ll drop this game like a brick. Nice of Sega to release this so we have something to do in the meantime, hehe.

:rotfl: :rotfl: I remember when i played Rome Total War that i used to kill most of the population to get them in fear of me straight away. This never seemed to work in Spain though god i hated them Spainards in that game i could never get them under control

@ Stabiz that is a great pic good to see you are using the mighty English It looks so much better than Rome Total war. I want it now I just know as soon i get hold of it the GWX beta will be here

Ha! My first crusade was aganst Jerusalem! And I took it, the pope is quite satisifed with me right now. I'm playing as Spain. Oh, Stabiz, do you know where the player may see the current year in the campaign?

[stabiz]

No, I ahevnt found that myself.

How did you create the crusading army? Is there an option to change it to crusaders when its trained or something?

This is one of the most anticipated games of the year, so I think Sega will release patches in a hurry to fix everything. For anything else, there´s modders.

Yeah, I really got to dislike vanilla Rome war after RTR. Medieval is different though, I think they learnt from there mistakes, MTW2 seems grittier and more historically accurate. I have to say, right now I could live without an MTR... I couldn't think of what they would change.

I remember whn playing the first MTW that i was always getting attacked by crusading armys. It will be fun to return the favour with this game Iam so looking forward to this game from what you guys are saying

[Dowly]

Nice shot, Stabiz!

Aww... that grass will drop my PC to it´s knees!

Anyone have the recommended systems requirements? I´ve tried to search them, buy all I get is the minimum requirements.

[stabiz]

I can play it, but only kinda ok. I have a AMD Athlon 64 3800+, ABIT KN8 SLI, 1,5 gig RAM, XFX 7900GS 256MB. I have most settings on high (and some on very high), but the minute i start adding AA my computer starts to cry.

I have 30-50 fps in battles.

But I read somewhere that the game actually looks pretty ok on lower settings too.

[Dowly]

Seems like we have pretty similar PC´s. Tho, I have AMD 64 3500+, 2GB of RAM and GF7800GTX.

Well, I get my copy as soon as my friend goes to work tomorrow morning! (He works on a game store, so he paid my copy and will drop it to my mailbox as he leaves to work tomorrow )

My system is a intel pentium 4 processer 3.00ghz, 2.00gb of ram, 160gb hard drive and a ATIx850 256mb video card. I just hope my system copes

[stabiz]

You have a fine machine there, dowly. That graphics card is really good. You should be able to turn on some antialiasing.

The bloom effect is a hog too, but I have to have it, it looks so cool.

Look at this beast of a fortress! (Its not even the largest in the game) The enemy (Denmark) retreated to the second courtyard when I breached the outer walls. Thank god I had one ram left.

It will.

I've just got MTW II and it is BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!

I've almost run out of space in the hard drive but it is worthy.

Crusaders here we go :p :p :p :p

[Dowly]

STABIZ!!!

Stop posting those shots!! I cant take it anymore!! ARRR!!

Approx. 5½ hours for my copy! Hmm... maybe I should call him and force him to leave for work one or two hours earlier so he could bring my copy sooner! :rotfl:
