hope its good
Been waiting for this! Thanks Bat!!!!!!
Have been a fan of this series for a long time and this news made me jizz.
It's shit, I got used to the 1.35 MB/s of my new connection too fast hahaha. It used to be 120 k/s.
Plus it was not Spain and also in that era the Basque Country was still independent.
It runs very well on my comp at 1600x1200 4x 16x and everything on ultra, large units. It does take like forever (minutes) to load after a graphics change and on startup a fair amount of time too. A bug I guess, but other than that is pretty smooth, more than previous ones for my comp. Even better than Rome at the same settings!!! <-- I had to lower the AA, but I guess that had nothing to do with the graphics card...
The new game mecanics are tricky, I'll have to get used to them before wanting to win the battles as fast as I did in previous games.:o
Other than that, the pace of battles seems to be slower, we'll have to be more patient. Rushing into the enemy has even worse consecuencies and the placement and orientation of your armies is much more important now.
Going to try the ship battles now. Bye:cool:
