The thing about the original with guns is that the troops had terribly low morale so while they did lots of damage, they were easy to break. I lost somewhere near 30-40 archers in a single volley from the matchlocke samurai on very hard. I've gotten so close to beating it so many times but Shimazu Toyohisa is fucking worthless because he throws himself and his fellow cavalry into Yari Ashigaru -__-;. Ive beaten Very Hard, Shimazu Toyohisa doesnt ever move for me... ever. The art to winning is yari wall. With it on even yari ashigaru can hold katana samurai off for ages.
at least until archers shoot you down

Ashigaru are indeed vulnerable to archers, especialy in yari wall but enemyarchers are easy to take out with cavalry so its mostly not an issue im more bothered by gunners who in even one volley can kill ALOT of men.
Anyoen interested in watchnig a replay vs the Very Hard AI ive uploaded mine to media fire for a friend and the link's here http://www.mediafire.com/?xhro3322mouxswe

Well I DLed the demo and so far, I'm content with the game. My biggest fear was that my 3 year old junk of a laptop wouldn't be able to run it even on lowest, but so far so good. I might even try turning a few things on medium and giving it a spin. The game doesn't seem all that more demanding than Medieval II. I though there would be a insurmountable abyss between the requirements but it seems they scaled well.
I'll hold out on buying this game until I hear from TWC and TL what they think about the AI and modding possibilities. If it will be as dumb as in Empire I'll wait until TWC releases some AI mod (if it will be even possible), but I heard a bad rumor that TW games are becoming less and less mod friendly with each generation.
Anyway since I'm already posting, can someone tell me how to watch the replay posted above, and how to start those other campaigns I DLed from the TWC thread posted earlier?

Dont know about the replay, but the campaign modification you wanna put the downloaded .pack file into the data folder of the game and start the tutorial campaign and you'll see that everything is free and awesome as hell!

Replays go in On Vista Machine: UserName: AppDate:Roaming:The Creative Assembly: Shogun 2: replays. however this will be invisable unless you make all folders visable which is in this guide here; http://www.misec.net/forum/board/FAQ/1139610900

I'm soooo pumped for this! In fact, I fear for my social life
|
I'm so excited for this, cant wait till the real game comes out. Its going to be awesome! The demo is really cool. The options don't work very well in the demo, but ones the real game is out and that works. I'm certain this game will live up to all my expectations.
|
demo looks really good. seems much better then empire which really sucked compared to medieval 2 imo. can't wait it!

The presentation of Shogun 2 at IEM Hannover was really awful, but the game itself seemed amazing to me. The map is huge and with a lot of details and sweet spots. I think there will be interesting locations and castles to fight. The game seemed to run really smooth, but there might be a long time again for the AI calculation between rounds. The Battle Creator, i posted some time ago, is sick. I've had some insanely nice battles, like 500 Elite Warriors against tons of Yari Ashigaru. Of course i won, but the battles run so beatiful. The Details of Graphic and motion capture is huge and the movement AI of my troops is good. So you won't have to wait like 5 minutes until your Gunners shoot after re-arranging, just a few seconds. This game is going to decrease my time for SC2 quite significantly.
|
After playing a few games on the battle creator I've noticed a few graphics problems. I'm not sure if this is because the demo didn't fully incorporate all the unit models or what, but when my samurai are mixed in with theirs, it's really hard to decipher who's on my side other than the pennants. I believe the low unit mixture/models have been discussed here? And from afar, maybe from about my archer's max range, the enemy have this milky white covering on them, particularly the samurai who have red clothing.
Every graphics setting was maxed out.

I've never really been that interested in that time period in Japan. I'll be playing Rome Total Realism and Starcraft 2 until the modders get a hold of RTW 2, plus by that time maybe I'll have a computer that'll actually be able to play it.
Btw, anyone know the requirements for this game? It's not something crazy like the 20 gb that ETW took up is it?
|
|
Almost, it can't come soon enough. It will be a fine game to play when exhausted from laddering scII :-)
|
7 days.
And fuck that, sc2 will be my release from laddering on the shogun leaderboard
|
Dam, this means that there is another game that i want to play but dont have time to. I think i will give this one a miss considering SC2 and EVE are taking but all my time already. Hmm i was really look forwards to a new Total War about 6 months ago, but now the time has come, i wont be playing it. Oh well, mabye next time.
|
I really want to be excited about this, but it seems that the franchise started to go down the tube after RTW and so I find myself skeptical. Still, dling the demo and gonna hope for the best.
|
After all the material of the last few days i am even more thrilled for SHogun 2 than for Starcraft 2. This game is going to be insane!
