Ok, Combat flows incredably well and i've found myself and my opponent manouver for a fair few minutes trying to gain a positional advantage before battle proper even starts. The buuilding mechanic works extremely well, ive played one person who 'camped' in a positional area and refused to move, so i capped two buildings, one which imporved my units melee combat and another which improved my units attack and defence, with these buffs i was able to break his hill defence. This provides a nice advantage to the aggressive player who may find himself forced to fight in a disadvantageous areas. Combat is fast paced, but not uncontrolable and you dont need gosu apm. ou do however need to be watching for things can change quickly. Whilst only 1 action may be needed to fend off flanking cavalry you still need to be on the ball to see it coming. the end of one battle http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/825/shogun22011031517301063.jpg | ||

I saw a video mentioning "veteran units" in multiplayer, will people who 'play more games have advantages over people who play less (RPG style?). This one is important, I can't STAND shit like that (CoD, AoE3, pretty much every fucking game released lately). | ||

There is, have you played the avatar multiplayer it actualy works very well. There are normal total war multiplayer if you dont wanna do that.

Lets say for example Yari Ashigaru cost 350 koku, and level one veteran unit will cost 400 koku. Also you will get matched up vs people your level who have equal access to veteran units. Veteran units do not become super men, for each level they gain ONE point of a single stat, say morale from 5 to 6. Bonus vs cavalry from 10 to 11. | ||

You can change the battle difficulty once in a campaign through the game settings menu. -Jack Lusted So yes, you can change battle difficulty for everyone who has had a problem with the campaign AI getting too much free junk. | ||

Just activate your game through Steam via your box code, and you can download it through Steam. Ez Pz. | ||

no thats not what i meant, the game has no skirmish mode like in the rome or medieval 2 (didnt play etw or ntw so i cant comment) instead there is that stupid avatar thing, i dont want to conquer a whole map to "win" my way to all the units, i want them from the get go. this isnt fun. its just forced rpg elements making the multiplayer imbalanced as one person could have unlocked a lot of the better units whereas someone may not have. and i especially dont like the idea of veteran units >_> i hope they bring a patch to implement skirmish mode i dont want rpg in my rts T_T its a shit idea. | ||

I think it is fun. If everybody has all the same units then it doesn't feel like there is as much strategy. But instead, if you are conquering provinces, you'll have to think more before just rolling across a country like you could in empire: total war. If you think you're going to need some horses, then to knock out a province that provides them. As for veteran units.....Meh | ||

For some reason even after I installed the game I had to redownload it again after activating the limited edition shit. I don't think it's nice to force steam when it takes a day or two to get the game installed. | ||

Also costs are balanced so even these all ashigaru units can take on samurai by numbers. | ||

ME2 was great though, I can still remember a battle I had basically lost, but I managed to "herd" the 7 remaining troops to the edge of the map, and then charged with my General (he only had 8 horses left). Thankfully the AI fled, and as he was right next to the edge of the map I won Took me like 40 min to do this, but man was I proud! | ||
