I think we can safely say that we may not see Chewie for some years, as the demo was remarkably awesome!

Finally! I had some technical difficulties but I finally got the game running last night. I managed to play the prolouge tutorial for a little while before lack of sleep consumed me. It is beatiful and seems glitch free so far. Today I will start the big campaign.

It sucks to hear some folks still have to wait for the game. Hopefully the wait is not to long...

Let us know how different it is from MTW, particularly the campaign. And would you mind posting your PC specs as well, Chewy (CPU, videocard, memory, etc), and let us know how it's running on your PC.

Don't betray history Chewie, play with the Romans and kick some elephant butt.

Sheesh... can't wait to get a hold of this game.

First, my specs:

AMD Athlon XP1500+

512 MB RAM

Gforce3 ti200 w/64 MB ram

Windows 98se

Using the auto-detect setting found in the video options the first few battles have run very smooth and fast! I found out the hard way yesterday that I had Win98 first edition. The game requires at least Win98se. This was the main tech problem I refered to in my earlier post. Once I borrowed a Win98se disk from a friend and installed, updated drivers, ect. everything fell into place neatly.

The campaign seems radically different and yet still quite familiar. The use of the Senate to drive events and earn money is a cool new feature. In the prolouge, my other Roman allies actually came to my aid when one of my weaker settelments was under seige and my main army was a few turns way conquering for the glory of Rome!

So far the game is everything that was great about M:TW and more!
