So, I expect this one to be my new #1 game.

Oh well.... back to kick some Carthagenian butt.

In my Elephant case, they where flying turtles......
but It seemed that the enemy elephants are a good counter attack too...just put some fire on them and they go into stampede and smash themselfs in the marching enemy troups :rotfl:

But the Romans are too stupid to know how to handle a bow!!

Maybe I could light some of the civilians from captured villages on fire and sling them out with a catapult. :rotfl:

@MrChris

Same here. Should get it on monday or tuesday.

I just got home after buying the collectors edition, installing now!

This edition includes maps, tech trees, making of-dvd, the musical score on a seperate cd, a small metal knight and some really good looking artworks on glossy paper.

Is it worth the extra cash Stabiz? As this is the verison i have ordered. Cost me £39.

stabiz · 11-12-06, 06:55 AM

I think so.

I think I got it for less than it should cost, since I only paid approx 4£ more than the standard version. The box is huge!

This game totally rocks! The music is of Hans Zimmer quality, and the battles ... OMG (And the crusades!)

I wont be playing Company of Heroes for a LONG time.

mr chris · 11-12-06, 06:58 AM

Good to know thanks Stabiz

Only a few days to wait

:p

Dowly · 11-12-06, 07:30 AM

Hmm.... I´ve read that the battles are more "brutal" now. What does that mean? BLOOD????? (please) :hmm:

Edit: Nevermind, I just watched some trailers. Medieval was the dark age! I want to see blood and severed hands on the battlefield!! ARRR!!

stabiz · 11-12-06, 07:36 AM

Yes, they are definately more brutal. Blood, and various death moves, impaling, etc. I`ve also read that people get dismebered if hit by canonballs. (And that bodyparts can be sent flying across the battlefield by the blast)

Personally I cant wait to start lobbing dead cows into castles.

Oh, and the largest castles - the citadels - have two inner defence walls, so you can literally be fighting from gate to gate, in defence or offence.

Yea, I saw those great animations! But saw no blood! I want to see guys head split if someone hits it with a poleaxe!! But if that´s true what you just said, I will be pleased.

Cant wait for tomorrow!

What are you guys doing playing MTW2!!!!??

You should be getting ready to test the Beta!

Ok, seriously, but don't tell Kpt. Lehmann, but I went straight to Saturn and paid full price for the game on the day of release.

...And it's freakin awesome! I've always been into the TW series.
With uni, my need for a social life, GWX modding (theres still a bit to be done on my end)... it looks like I'll be getting no sleep now.

@Dowly... there's a bit of blood, as opposed to the no blood in earlier titles. There's blood when arrows hit the men, and the textures a bloodied too if they've been hit or are dead. It's by no means gory though, it's pretty subtle.

Dowly · 11-12-06, 08:51 AM

Thanks for the info, Boris! Looking forward to it!

I really didnt like too much of the vanilla Rome TW, but when the Rome Total Realism mod came, it changed it completely. And if Medieval II will be as easy to mod, there will most likely be a Medieval Total Realism mod coming.

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.

mr chris · 11-12-06, 09:25 AM

Cant wait for my game to arrive now with all is talk of lobbing dead cows into castles and impaling people and dismebered bodys

I really cant wait to lead my faction to glory. Or should i say with me at the helm and my luck certian death is more likely:rotfl:

stabiz · 11-12-06, 09:40 AM

Medieval 2 is totally frekkin sweet! I love this game! My first crusade is on the steps. Be afraid, Antioch.
