Samuel Dravis Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 I've played it now. I have no reservations on buying this game (well, I didn't have any before, but the demo was so awexome). I don't think they could have done much better. I maxed out most of the settings, and it still ran at a decent framerate. W00t! I cannot wait for the full game...

I have GeforceFX 5200, and I had to lower stuff to medium to get good frame rate.
Doomie Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 My brother is addicted to the demo. He's played it ten times already.

I won it once on easy and twice on normal already. Too bad there's only one level. At least we got elephants. Too bad we don't see a city siege, that looks really good.
tFighterPilot Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 I played it so much that I'm starting to see romans running with spears, and not only when I close my eyes!

tFighterPilot Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 Why did you download it from fileplanet when you can download it from here? http://downloads.ugo.com/details.php/id/5451
Treacherous Mercenary Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 I had to put everything on low settings with 800x600 res. I'll be playing it again with settings higher and res higher aswell soon I hope. Good demo though. Wish it had another battle to boot.
Samuel Dravis Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 Originally posted by tFighterPilot God damnit, what video card do you have??? A Radeon 9700 pro. If it had a castle siege, I would not be on LF right now. Or any other time in the near future. EDIT: I love these guys. My beautiful Triarii

TiE23 Posted August 27, 2004 Posted August 27, 2004 I ran it everything high with 1024x768 no AA (I don't care for AA) and got like 30-40 fps in the middle of battle. (5700 FX 256mb with 3.2 pentium 4 and 1 gig of ram) I used the suprise group to kill the general in the first minute Then it was all about mopping up the rest TiE
Doomie Posted August 27, 2004 Posted August 27, 2004 They'd better hurry up this game, or my brother isn't goin got survive this... He's palyed it long enough to perfect his strategy against very hard and then keep winning for at least five times in a row...
Astrotoy7 Posted August 27, 2004 Posted August 27, 2004 Answer my question you armchair teen Roman Legion Commanders..... Is this an RTS game ? If so.....meh for me nonetheless, have fun playing mtfbwya
Doomie Posted August 27, 2004 Posted August 27, 2004 Is this an RTS game ? It's one of the best. I mean, normally they bore me to hell, but this...
jokemaster Posted August 27, 2004 Posted August 27, 2004 It's an RTS/Turn based hybrid, you control your country turn based but individual battles are RTS. There ain't, however, any resource collecting in the RTS portion, just huge battles.

I can wipe out the Romans very well now on the super hard difficulty. It's all about those elephants, man... Cavalry help out too...
Hiroki Posted August 28, 2004 Posted August 28, 2004 It is a real time strategy in combat, but not like Starcraft, or anything. You control utterly massive armies, the likes that you could not ever dream of, in Warcraft 3 and its ilk. Each unit has a 3D representation. There can be literally thousands on screen at once. I can't wait to storm a stronghold.
Nerd_Annhilator Posted August 28, 2004 Posted August 28, 2004 I must say, I'm really surprised by the framerates with all those little people.
Samuel Dravis Posted August 28, 2004 Posted August 28, 2004 Well, they did say that the specs would be roughly the same as MTW's. Apparently, they kept their word.
Lost Welshman Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 Haha! Good old fileplanet. Just before 3, all you americans are sleeping or something, so no queues! and high speeds! woo! Awesome demo. Can't wait for the full game. Glad it's got the britons on... not the 'English' bah! I used to feel so guilty taking over wales Runs full spec. But so do most things with my Radeon 9800 pro. Cept Doom 3. Bastage. Damn my brother and his XT-whateveritscalled.

Breton Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 35 minutes left Actually, I've never tried those Total War games, but heard a lot of good things about them, so this will be interesting.
Samuel Dravis Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 You'll be glad you got it. MTW was really great. You just get such a feeling of sheer power telling your hundreds of thousands of troops to invade a country that's annoying you. Note: Future presidents, please ignore the above statement. Not good RL policy.
