trueblue1872 2 Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 Hopefully get it amorrow. Demo was a bit slow and pish tbh. Loved the sea battles but i really don't like using bloody guns. I never used cannons and stuff on medieval because i hated them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClintonGrey 365 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 A good old cavalry charge will still win most non-siege battles. Especially when you have Prussian Deaths Head Hussars. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stardog 11 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I tried to play the demo again for the 2nd time yesterday. I can't play these kind of games anymore. Too many units to mess around with and they take ages to respond to orders, even when using the speed buttons. It's just frustrating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClintonGrey 365 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 The only annoying thing i have found is that you must have a line of two formation for everyone to fire at once. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jelle1880 307 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 The only annoying thing i have found is that you must have a line of two formation for everyone to fire at once. Erm, duh ? In real life this was the same, first line got on one knee so they and the line behind them could fire, after they fired the 3d line behind them moved forward and took their position. The good soldiers could reload so fast that by the time their comrades had fired they had reloaded and could take the position again. This caused an almost constant barrage of gunfire. Stardog: This game doesn't move any slower than the previous ones... it's easy to stop cavalry btw, use volley fire (Meaning you have to research Line Fire), keep their Fire at Will turned off till the last second, if you calculate the cavalry is about twenty yards away from your troops you let loose Add Ring Bayonets to that and cavalry is toast. I only use cavalry to deal with those Indian archers, they are too fast for my normal infantry. Also, some linemen have fortifications they can build, both trenches to protest them from cannons or barricades to protect them from horses. This is useful for directing cavalry into the line of fire from your infantry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClintonGrey 365 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 The thing i meant Jelle, is that your enemies can fire in lines of 4, where you can only fire in lines of two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jelle1880 307 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Eh ? I never noticed that... If I fight them they do exactly the same as me, only the first line fires... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueblue1872 2 Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 Finally got it. Sea battles are great. Land battles are a fucking huge pain in the arse. I knew i wouldn't like them. I've never like the whole gunnery age of Total war. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy500 463 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Sadly my computer doesn't run it. Shame, looks like a good game as well. I don't think I have enough RAM or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
