The specs are above what my laptop can handle however. Empire does look like it is fantastic, as I am a huge fan of Colonial period warfare, and would love to annihilate some Brits as the Continentals. I've always wanted to position an army of musketmen on a hill and just fire down at anybody who happened to be in my way. Midevil 2 is about the newest TW tha my laptop can handle

The logistics sounds like it's going to be the main thing.Dain Ironfoot said:
Nah, I'd have been pissed off if my Carribean garrison died of Malaria.
They never said it would be an upgrade. It is to Empire what Alexander was to Rome.Austupaio said:

Better graphics and better mods for M2. That was really the biggest one if I had to guess. Rome: Barbarian Invasion is mad fun though!
I preferred Rome. Medieval 2 was pretty bland.

Actually, RTW has better mods.

Oh. It seemed to me like every mod people made a big deal out of was for M2. Personally, I like R:TW better, but I am a huge Rome fan.

So why the ridiculous price-tag? To me, it looks like a mod of ETW, which I didn't really enjoy in the first place. I think I'll stop playing Total War for a while, and wait until they go back to earlier times where combat was more intense and enjoyable for me. (Swords, bows, spears, cavalry etc. Of course, I know ETW and NTW have cavalry, but I just can't get into the era.)Archonsod said:

I'm looking forward to MODERN: Total War.

I highly doubt it, really look at all the Total War games, the tactics haven't really changed that much. Anything WWI or further would require a completely different system.
Empire really isn't that different from Rome to be honest, probably not from Shogun either however I never played Shogun. Couldn't get over the sprites.

Remake of Shogun would be nice.
Tried playing a bit of it, but the poor thing is too old now for my tastes. Armies of sprites.
Early WWI would be nice though. Not terribly difficult with their engine. The trenches and wall mechanics from Empire could be adapted. Long Range artillery would be good fun. Late WWI would get tricky when inner city fights got popular.

It'd be cool if there was a New World: Total War focused mainly on the early period of colonization in America. I think it'd be cool to loot American settlements as a chief of a Native american tribe, or help to found Jamestown. Maybe somehting base off of Native Americans solely would be cool. A game in the Civil War period wouldn't be half-bad either. Of course from what I've seen of their games they prefer to focus on the Eastern hemisphere.
It's twenty quid over here, which is half the RRP of Empire. The only place with a ridiculous price tag is Steam, but if something doesn't have the word sale next to it on Steam it tends to be 1/3rd more expensive than buying it at retail.Vraid said:

And even an American campaign in Medieval II: Kingdoms as well, I believe.Austupaio said:
