i need to borrow someones moisture - i have expelled all mine

Two things.

Still seems way too fast.
Flanking, which I know was added as part of making the AI better now seems to have reached ridiculous proportions. It's almost not worth setting up a battle line as invariably you have to move almost everything to the right or left to counter it. Flanking is obviously a tactic but it's now so predictable it's become as useless as the mad rush forward. It should have more variability and nuanced use.

I got dizzy.  Too fast frames per second and the player keeps panning around.  I also don't like the arrow effects.  I guess it will get better when released.

Arrow effects can be switched off, I think when you have magic and flying creatures/large creatures involved you are not going to get traditional battleline struggles and the battles are bound to ebb and flow more.

Well, wasn't just what I saw in the video, been apparent in the last couple of games. As I say, it's great they did something to try and make the ai a bit more difficult but it went too far and now it seems the only ai tactic is to divide it's army in two and send each half streaming towards each flank, which of course in real life would have spelled disaster without something in the centre.

Yes accepted. But it still puzzles the hell out of me why when that and other realism mods are the first mods that get made why they release the games as they do.

because the pimply 14 year old wantz the action straight awayz - no time to wait those extra 8 seconds

i point to the 'stop wasting my time' mod for xcom 2 - cuts down the few seconds you have to wait for some combat results

Hey, now!  I'm starting to seriously consider that mod, and both my pimple count and scalp hair count are woefully low.

[undercovergeek]

so you can get a masters degree with all the time saved?  :P

[Freyland]

In reality, there really are too many immersion-breaking pauses that are not fluid enough.  It's almost like the game needs to reset the pieces before it can show you whatever it is it wants you to see.  As far as wanting a TW game to run super fast... pass until modded.  I'm a slow poke these days.  I remember during the Shogun 2 FotS tutorial, I was looking at some other aspect of my troop formation and in that short time an entire flank had already engaged and eliminated a unit of probing calvary.  Never saw any of it happen, didn't even appreciate a notification that someone was under attack.

theres always a speed mod in a day or two

I really don't get the total war hate....you guys are just spoilt.....so there!!!

[Gusington]

Ah must be TW release season. The angst and fevered hatred is in the air. Smell it!

[Nefaro]

You can just skip the Hate if you wait a few months for them to patch a new TW.

But I'm stuck in a Love/Hate relationship with it.  So I will probably get it early and complain about the bugs I will inevitably experience, until that time has passed. ;)
