S2TW reviews by people that played it. Did you like it?

[alhoon]

People that have the game could you tell me please if you liked it? Could you post what you liked, what you didn't like and how is the CAI and BAI?

It's barely been out 2 hours and most people haven't even gotten done downloadig. Calm down.

[longboat]

Are we there yet?

[Raimeken]

Actually, there are people who are done with it and are playing now, I'd just give em a few hours to actually enjoy the game before they say anything.

[Hilarion]

What? I'd expect the people who can play the game to be finished by now and eagerly waiting for Rome 2.

I'm actually hoping CA don't come out with anything next year...I seriously want a new engine, Warscape just ain't gonna cut it for anything after this.

If they continue the pattern of revolutionary, evolutionary, revolutionary, evolutionary in terms of the engine, then the next game will be a new engine. (I'm counting Napoleon as an expansion of Empire for the purposes of this because let's be honest, it basically is)

I saw that.
I don't want to know just about the CAI and BAI. I want to know about everything. Graphics, sound, etc.
The game costs a fortune and before I purchase I want to know I'm not getting another ETW that I'll have to wait for a year to be fixed.

PS.
I haven't played the demo yet. I don't think it would sit well with my limited time. I just wanted to see custom battles and they didn't have any.

link not working for me

[alhoon]

2 people voted they played the game and they didn't like it. No posts here though. So, I would guess it's not actually disgruntled players but prank votes. Please refrain from doing this, it gives me (and other potentional customers on edge of buying/not buying) a diluted image.

Liking it so far. Improved AI and a really fun campaign. The only thing that bugs me is the lack of AA or DX10,11 support, but i'm hoping we wont be waiting too long for that.
Also enjoying the rpg elements they put in. It feels personal when they take out your general, whoose skills you've been developing for 10 turns

[alhoon]

Any indication on how many settlements there are for conquering?
I don't mind the lack of AA and DX 10 at all, since I have GTX 8800 and Windows XP.

Not sure how many as im not currently on my own computer, but it seems like plenty to go around. Also a lot of clans to destroy

67 provinces to control according to the encyclopedia: http://www.totalwars.ru/encyclopedia/regions.html

Only 67 provinces?
