Empire Total War

Post by Mike »

I saw the first look of Empire Total War on the front of PC Gamer earlier. I have not been able to get on Total War website for more information as the phone does not have adobe flash installed / available! Exciting news though the Total War Series is very good.

I may be upgrading my PC sooner than I thought...

Naval battles should be interesting. The improved AI should be as well. General superness all round!

Is it me or are there no minimum requirements shown on the website. That is very odd. . .

I found the minimum specs on their Steam download site. My laptop is simply insufficient to play the game. That's based on the minimum specs and the fact that the demo is running very. Very. Slowly! Looks good from what I can see anyway. Will give a rating if the battle ever loads. LOL

This is now a weird one: the average review scores are great (91% on Metacritic), but the user reviews speak of huge load times, problems with the Steam registration, graphics being average and poor AI.

May be waiting until they patch this one...

TOTAL WAR!! because part time slaughter and half-hearted invasions are really giving the army a bad name :-D
