Bah <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> Was looking forward to this game... and now it's out, my PC is at the shop, getting refitted for some more extreme gaming - but that's a few weeks off still... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mellow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":|" border="0" alt="mellow.gif" />

I landed to the new world in my last campaign but I made peace with the Aztecs and opend up trade so I never really fought them lol. I did take over Brazil, Cuba and the southern part of the North America. I'll post some screens of my attack on Brazil later.

Thanks, mate! I'll post some screens when I can get my greedy little hands on the game, too. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=")" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" />

Whats the timeline in MTW2?

 

[Rico]

From 1080 to about 1550, I think

So wth is Macedonia doing in the game <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />

There is no Macedonia <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":huh" border="0" alt="huh.gif" /> Or maybe I was quick to wipe them out - but I don't think so.

Having played a few hours now, I must say, the game is not as addictive as I hoped. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

Looks to me like a Civ4 clone <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> only it has real-time battles.

Macedonia is Rome TW I think.

Addictive? I was playing for 3-4 hours last night <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
But I've heard some people say its not quite the same experience as the orginal though.

Well, that is quite an ordinary thing, at least for me. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> What I mean by addictive is not sleeping one night, just so you can wipe out a few more empires... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" /> That was the case with Rome on a number of occasions... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

Here are a few screenies for you guys - I know, not a particularly spectacular battle, but I'm afraid I don't get much of those in Medieval II.
