Anyway, I also avoided getting Empire and Naploeon because I don't like that style of warfare and also don't find that time period nearly as cool as the Rome/Medieval/Shogun periods. I kind of wanted to try the naval battles, but the poor reviews of Empire put me off completely. I only recently bought the Empire/Napoleon pack (forgot what it's called) because it was on sale, and I was pretty disappointed. However, I am hopeful that CA will go back to their roots and pull it off this time, and I do love Japanese history, so I've pre-ordered my copy of Shogun 2. | ||

I'm also a bit bummed about the number of unit types? I think he said 13-14? I suppose it makes sense considering we're looking at only Japan, but I loved the diversity in Medieval 2. Armies from various regions of the world were so different from each other. Trying to tackle Moorish horse-archer armies as early era Spain was crazy tough. | ||

If you look at unit stats, many of them were just reskinned versions of other units with virtually the same stats. The original Shogun and Medieval were the best games in the series. They removed a lot of the depth and the subtle things that can provide an advantage later on in the series. If you played vanilla MTW2, sure. But the mod community is what's kept these games going so well. Roma Surrectum mod makes RTW like 20x better than the original, and the Stainless Steel mod for MTW2 does the same for medieval2. Also did a lot for realism, because let's face it, horses will not blindly charge into a densely packed wall of spears/soldiers. | ||

I think it'll have broken and shitty siege battles like Medevil Total War 2 and (especially abhorrent) Empire Total war I think it'll have alot of useless and gameslowing character units like Rome Total War, Empire Total War and (by fucking god) Medevil Total War (so many shitty characters) Seriously assassins are the only units you need, kill everything else, profit. So all in all it'll probably be a good game just like the rest, but held back from 1000% epicness because they once again didnt improve the diplomacy or the castle battles. Cmon all I want is an AI that isn't acting like a brick... And castles that don't make the unit ai act like paniced 4 year olds. ' EDIT: The multiplayer stuff actually sounds good. But I've been fooled before by those slick talking dasterds! I'll wait untill it comes out. | ||
