Share your thoughts in here.

I never played a Total War game before but this one looks very impressive. So I am definitely going to try the demo out.

LOL Belgolas. You and my BFF. The guy is a Total War nut, actually he is a Shogun Total War nut. They should make a new Shogun TW in his opinion (and mine). Or at least patch up the original. Sadly the original has major issues running on anything after XP SP2. I am going to have to run 2000 on VMware just so he can play it .

Yeah either patch STW or make another one. But this time call it Asia Total War. There are so few games on Asia's past that it sickens me. Why don't companies care about their history. They have just as many wars and much bigger wars in their past with very large armies.

Anyway the demo was pretty awesome but there are some bugs they have to fix. And for some reason the unit scale doesn't work.

Because the never-ending sequels to Dynasty Warriors/RotTK have cornered the entire market.

Yeah the are a lot of Dynasty Warriors and Romance of the Three Kingdoms that they could rival the Land before Time series. See but those games only do a small part of history and are only in China. Did you know that China has pyramids?

Hmmmm....anyone notice that horse units look all odd when you are zoomed out and they are further away from the camera? They look like the default to 8-bit? This is with ALL settings at Ultra and 4xAA.
