BTW sea battles are amazing! You have to micromanage the ships a lot, especially for movement, but it rocks!
Damn, I can't buy this game yet. I have many others yet unfinished. I don't want to buy this game yet, because that could mean that I never finish Fallout 3, for example. Because if I start with this game...
It's weird, because I think it's loading the main menu what it takes the time. Maybe has something to do with the Vram?
Only problem is when i get up close on the action it lags a bit(on medium). I am only not a fan of the grand campaign in total war games, just the battles.(which the demo had)

The naval warfare so far, I have done twice and each time I just click my ships on one opposing ship at a time, and each time I have won. So not sure if there is some good strategy to be developed. I'm sure there is. I did notice that having one of your ships fire, while behind a friendly ship is not good (should have known this from all the other total wars. :laugh:).
I'm not sure how I feel about the whole gunpowder battles. Seems pretty cool, but It will take some getting used to.
Overall seems like a pretty fun game, and I'm sure that the campaign map will be great. :rockout:
