Those are two of the best for sure! I asked a question earlier about the numbers under the ships, I found out they represent how many cannons are operational just in case anyone else wondered.Comment

Re: Empire Total War: WOW!!!! Feb, 3 2009
Yeah, I am sure I will probably break down before that. I already have the game pre-ordered
. But I could cancel that easy enough. The real issue is that I would feel a little guilty buying a new computer just to play 1 game while people I know are being laid off and homeless are freezing in the streets. Michigan is brutal right now.

Re: Empire Total War: WOW!!!! Feb, 3 2009
A couple of answers from somewhere else.. Hope it helps.
Gold edition is Original + Expansion + usually a strategy guide or something. So it obviously doesn't come out until well after the expansion. If I recall correctly the MII Gold Edition wasn't out till early 2008 (March I think?). IE well over a year after MII's november release, and half a year after the expansion.
You have a ways to wait still
I think it usually takes about 2 years roughly, maybe more. The game has to be out for a while, then the expansion comes out. Then after sales on the individual units have slowed is when they start repackaging them together in the gold box form. I wouldn't get my hopes up too much about the special edition units being included though, if I were you.

Ahh I just saw this...I respect that a lot. I hope things start to pick up for your friends and community and with people like you looking out for others I'm sure it will be back stronger than ever.
But then again..Buying stuff helps keep the economy strong. And a TotalWar game is not your ordinary console bored in a few weeks type of game..I get more bang for my buck from a TW game than any console or PC game yet. And the combination of what is your favorite era of warfare into a TW game it seems like you would get a lot out of this game and a better PC.

Interesting. I wonder how we're able to tell how many crew we have on board (I figured that's what that number was for).
And I agree, Fist is going to cave...especially when we're all raving about the game. Just 1 month away!Member of The OS Baseball Rocket Scientists AssociationComment

Re: Empire Total War: WOW!!!! Feb, 3 2009
Yeah, thats the thing is that Over the course of the next 2 years, lets say I play an average of 4 hours per week. That would be very low given that I love Napoleonic Warfare. Anyways $800 for rig and game. 400 hours of entertainment. What else can I do for $2/hour? (don't answer that)
Its a tough call.....Chalepa Ta Kala.....Comment

This is huge for me:
As the campaign progresses, players can now access this rich political tapestry via a new panel which lets them see at a glance how each nation is regarded by others, and how they regard their rivals. Players can also see which events or factors have created the current state of relations between nations.Similarly, don't expect a rival to roll out the democratic red carpet if you've previously proven untrustworthy. The AI has a far better recollection of previous events than ever before, and it will bear grudges or honor sacrifices.We have had three talented programmers working full-time on nothing but AI throughout the project--a level of resource we haven't had before.Last edited by Darkleaf; 02-02-2009, 09:08 PM.Comment

"Not wonderment," he said when asked if he was surprising even himself with his hot hand in Virginia's 108-87 victory against Gonzaga on Wednesday night, when he scored a career-best 37 points. "I was just wondering why they didn't play more `D."Comment

Playable!
Austria
The history of Austria is one of warfare against invaders from the east, and the infidel Turks in particular. The originally Duchy was the eastern marches of the Holy Roman Empire (the Ostmark), and the defensive importance of Austria to the rest of Europe is immense. For nearly 250 years, the Ottoman Turks have hurled themselves against the bastion of Austria, reaching the gates of Vienna on more than one occasion. The last time was in 1683. Austrian bravery has kept them at bay, every time. After the bloodletting of the last century – the Thirty Years War – within the Holy Roman Empire, Austria is a leading power among “the Germanies”. Leopold I, the ruling Hapsburg, has brought peace and prosperity, and maintained a first-class military machine (in particular, the Austrians have mastered the tactics using light, irregular troops). This gives the Austrians the potential to become a truly great power, either within the borders of the old Empire, to the south in Italy, or to the east. This latter scheme requires the Turks to be persuaded – at sword point – that their destiny lies outside Europe. The Austrians also have much to be proud of in the arts, music and culture.
Beyond their immediate borders, there are other matters for the Hapsburgs to consider. The Spanish branch of the family is now close to extinction, as Charles II has failed to produce an heir, among his other problems. Perhaps Spain should remain a part of Hapsburg domains, but this might lead to confrontation with France. And then, of course, there are the pan-Slavic, Christian Orthodox ambitions of the Russian Tsar to consider…Comment
