New Empire: TW preview on IGN

Post by Vympel »

Read and enjoy

A few new screen shots too. Unfortunately it looks like though the game may go into the early 1800s, Waterloo is out of the period - oh well - can you say expansion pack?

Ugh, youtube is always such shit quality.

I'm wondering if that first scene with the captain is in-game footage, because if it is that's pretty fucking awesome.

edit: Fuck, left my sessionID in the link :oops:

That looks incredible. Unfortunately, that would make my computer explode. It already chugs along with just 1500 men on M2TW with medium quality. Time to invest in some better parts.

Looking good, first time I've seen the land battle portrayed. Dam spectacular. Hope to see some campaign map screen shots soon.

Although the likelihood of needing a new computer to run this monstrosity of graphical requirements seems to be increasing.

Austria is on the list of playable factions - AEIOU :-)

I hope my computer will be able to deal with it.
