My only gripes are with the horrific voice narration in the end cut-scene after completing the tutorial (what is that accent? Some kind of Japanese-Indian hybrid?), although the other voices aren't too great either, but at least they're authentic. I would just prefer them to speak in Japanese and have it subbed. Oh, the only other thing I wasn't too happy with was some of the issues I had with the interface, both in and out of battle. It seems like you could only sporadically deselect things, sometimes clicking elsewhere would and sometimes it wouldn't. Maybe it's just a bug, or maybe I'm just tired and missing something. Either way it's a minor annoyance and not a game-breaker. Very pleased with it so far. Has anyone else found their Ninja to be immortal? Seriously, mine just woulnd't die. Whether he failed or succeded he just kept on surviving. Made it pretty easy to level him up.  | ||

Korea, which happens to be in... guess where? Mainland Asia! So get off your high horse and quit your moaning. You don't know shit about what would sell, end of story. You're right, there is no debate. You're just ignorant AND wrong. You don't know anything about history, if you don't even know about the entire ancient period of Asia (which constituted over half the population of the ancient world). I certainly would not be pumped to read another post about Asian history based on your absolute ignorance of the subject. Sorry to drop in your 'conversation' but why are you annoying others about which country or timeline CA uses for its franchise? It is their product, their money and their years worth of hardwork and not to mention decades worth of experience. If you think you can do better then go ahead and make your own game. We will all happily buy that if it will be even half as awesome as any CA game. And please don't pretend to speak on behalf of all Asians. I am an asian and I love the Japanese setting 10x more than 3 kingdoms. Has it occurred to you that we all have our own opinions and likings? | ||

And for anyone playing the tutorial, have you had the game ending bug where you can't merge your bow ships? On February 23 2011 07:08 KaiserJohan wrote: The demo is huge, downloading atm. Personally I hate the shogun-theme, the whole samurai-culture is just silly to me... I am more of the sort who likes tons of gunpowder, luckily I will get them when I ally with europeeans. On the bright side you do get flintlock units in the full game... I just hated everytime my cannons wouldnt stop firing in Napoleon when I told it to stop when the enemy was charging, thereby killing my units as well. | ||

The statistics page gives a very organized and lengthy chart of nearly everything you'd like to know. Example: How many battles you won and lost. But there seemed to be a lack of one specific statistic, one in which I've been wanting to have implemented since Rome... A number representing the amount of soldiers in your empire. Come on, I'd really like to see how huge my army is in terms of manpower, not in terms of individual army cards. I have 22 cards? That's how many men? Another flaw would be the assassin cut-scenes. The suspense was terrific, but the video was too long! After watching the assassin climbing the side of a castle for a grueling amount of unnecessary time, I finally decided to skip the videos altogether. Overall, the demo certainly impressed me enough that I'll buy it when it comes out. | ||

Multiplayer is what has me most interested, i hope that actually works out. Visually it looked kinda wonky in alot of spots, runs and looks worse than Empire in a technical sense, but i guess it is only a demo. Why can't we put on AA? Artistically it's really nice though. Far more attention to color and style than previous games. | ||

Are you talking about Empire at release or when it got patched, or could you specify what you mean? Don't have access to the demo right now but "runs worse than Empire" is a bloody bad thing, to say the least. Hm, hope I can run it without having everything on low. | ||

For semi-nonrestricted campaign(advisor/button restrictions goes away), battle limit is still there because there is no random battle generator. | ||
