The Operational Art of War IV

[W8taminute]

Seems like there are some issues.  Still I only watched 1:39 of the video and this is going to be a day one purchase for me.  I'm sure they'll fix the bugs or at least explain the anomalies detected by us grogs.

I plan on buying this as well. But I did play the exact scenario they are showing in TAOW3 last night and it look exactly the same to me.

So it's really Green vs Green.

It's great to see this first vid but wishes Matrix would have someone more proficient and knowledgeable demo it. So much more is there and not explained with any detail. But a great game has just about every war/conflict covered. Flexible, whatever you feel like you can play out.

When I was watching, I too, was like "How did they take the Mountain with no opposition?".. But I stopped watching shortly after, too much yakking about different streaming formats.

Yeah the constant checking and switching of streaming options or whatever it was, was super annoying.

Looking well excited for this to come out. The addition of more battle stats has peaked my interest. Where to start :)

[LAVA]

Yep,

I'm looking forward to this as well and yep it does look pretty much like every other of its predecessors.

The cool thing about TOAW is the sheer amount of player content that comes after release through player scenarios.

The one thing it has always lacked is a good tutorial. Many moons ago, I was working on a tutorial scenario for TOAW III. Never finished it though. If TOAW IV doesn't have one, I might give it another go.

Super annoying enough to put a stop to my watching the video.  I didn't appreciate the comments either about 'you guys will just have to buy the game and see what other scenarios come with it'.

Thank goodness!!! The look of the game is one of the series strongest points. The TOAW3 UI could use some help, though.
