Title: S2:TW Demo Coming out on 22 Feb
Post by: debux on February 15, 2011, 08:49:01 PM
Here is the "original" post (at least from what I know) (http://www.totalwar.com/news/4897)
The best thing is that it says right there that it will not be the typical demo with only a short, crappy battle tutorial with a historical battle, but it will also include a campaign.
Your thoughts? I'm downloading it as soon as it comes out, it will be the perfect test to see how my PC will handle it and if it's worth buying before the patches come out, to avoid what happened with ETW

I'll be getting it, assuming the download isn't too big

Depends on what's big to you, considering that the demo for Nappy is 3 Gigs, I'm expecting at least 5 (The demo for Civ5 is 5 gigs as well, and it features what can be called a "campaign", as you all know that Civ has never had a campaign :P)
@Marcus, I'm sorry, I didn't understand. Might be 'cause it's 2 o'clock here :P

Not bad :P The multiplayer preview that came out recently got me truly hyped. However, I'm fearful for SEGA hurrying the game, I'll wait for the first patches (or steam sales :whistles:)

The more I think about this the more excited I am to play total war again. I may play some medieval II total war to get back into it. 5 gigabyte is a bit much for me, thats half my on peak download limit (yeah I know, it isn't much) I suppose if I download off peak it would only be a quarter and off peak is rarely used. But I think I'll just wait till it hits the shelves, I can be patient.

True. My eyes shift uncontrollably to the date thing in the bottom right corner when I stroll into the TW related topics

Ha! I was right! 6 Gigs dudes. Quite a bit, isn't it?
It's also in the scrolling thing they have as a news updater, in the features items page (home page). That thing that is kinda like advertisement.

My first impressions are good, and also I can run it fine which is wonderful :D . However I find the new? interface confusing, considering the last one I played was M2, I keep struggling to find everything and miss my building/recruitment scroll.

holy**** this game is great, unless they :) it up with all the bugs like ETW

@SotK, lol, you've missed out quite a lot. Especially by the decentralized cities. Most things were implemented in ETW, and I truly hope they keep them. In a way, it avoids a large number of sieges, or it reduces it.
I guess we can make a thread from this.

The decentralized cities was a really nice feature. Its something I've wanted since I first started playing TW games, for example I even enjoyed the ability to build 'villages' instead of watchtowers on XGM for RTW.

True... it's gonna be so fun top be able to effectively raid the enemies country side on the hellenic and roman period. I've been reading a book about the punic wars and I had no idea how much raids were used during the first two wars
