Thanks for the video!Looks awesome,especially the navel battles. Can't wait to try out the navel bombardment in particular
They did a good job of excluding sieges, like they`ve done since ETW. I wonder why that was.
Oh, yea, because they`re not realistic at all. Men still climb the walls. Ca know it`s crap and might put people off.
Propaganda, don`t ya just love it.
However, I`m glad that the gatling gun will almost lose you the battle if you sit on it because that IS realistic. It`s a plus point in my view. YOU are the tactical comander, you cannot just sit on a gatling and ignore the rest of the tactics of battle. It seems to me the best time to use it will be near the end of a battle when you`ve carried out all your tactics and know you`ve morer or less won.
Wow! Must say this looks awesome. Quite possibly the most I have ever been excited for a Total War title.
Yeah. It's actually kind of cool that the backdrop of this title is a war that was actually quite short. Kinda opens up the 'what if?' factor of the campaigns. There is really nothing to compare to a historical timeline unless you end your campaign after a few turns.

They are really improving the TW series with this title. I think they are making room for a WWI TW.

Was hoping they would tweak the battle effects a little. The explosions are woefully bad, especially the ship explosions.
While technically the game is getting more demanding, i think aesthetically it has never been so bad.

after watching this...I am reconsidering buying fall of samurai.. ..LOL
wow this has got me excited for the game.
I've got a few questions, hopefully you guys can help answer these.
1) The port siege battles battles at 3:33 of the video, how do they work? Are you able to control the cannons in the 3rd person mode and aim for the ships? Or do you just click-attack the ships normally? In the video you don’t see the player controlling the port cannons in 3rd person. Also, how does this work when you are the attacker? Do you control the ship’s guns in 3rd person?
2) In regular land battles, can your cannons fire on enemy ships along the coast? I mean, they are bombarding you, but you can’t fight back with your land units against them? What about with your ships?
3) Does using 3rd person mode for your land artillery or ships help your accuracy? Or is it just for fun?
I can easily see them progressing right into Victoria: TW from here but by all the gods they better not get crazy and try to go as far as WW I. That would be dreadful imo.
1) I don't know for sure, but I think it is just click and attack, but maybe you can also control one of the cannons (or gatlingguns!)
2) The ships have very long range guns, that's the reason why they can assist you in the battle. That means that you can't fight back.
3) I think both. If you can aim with a cannon quite well, then you will kill more enemy soldiers then you normally would (but if you suck at aiming...) and of course it is very funny to control a cannon or a gatlinggun.
Hopefully this will help?
by the way, what are some tactics you can use when you control a ship's guns in 3rd person?
Are you supposed to aim at the hull or something?
