The Great War - Total War

[Sir Slash]

Great work Gus. I wonder is it modded after NTW or Shogun? I seem to remember NTW.

[Gusington]

What do you mean? It's based on NTW if that's what you're asking. I am verifying my vanilla NTW game cache right now in preparation for this weekend when the rumored release will be.

Very nice (the release trailer not Gus' loins) but I guess it is too much to expect naval battles too?!

never be dismissive about Gus's loins.

[Gusington]

They do look great right now.

[GDS_Starfury]

I believe you used the term juicy.

Could you report on how the game portrays WWI? WWI was continuous fronts. This game displays armies in stacks. My only concern.

Thanks for the update Gus.  I'm gonna have to DL this bad boy today.

And... how are aircraft represented?

[Gusington]

I have yet to download and see it first hand but aircraft are represented on the campaign as agents. They are not represented in tactical battles yet. The creators promise.regular updates and since they have been working on this release for three years I believe them.

Hurryover not sure what you mean about the stacks, above...

Will be downloading when I can tonight and reporting back on whether this release will delay me in firing up Rome 2.

Good to hear. This is all very interesting.

I meant that in all TW games armies are represented in stacks, which is unlike the warfare of the Western Front during WW1, which was a continuous front. Do you follow?

[Gusington]

I'll have to install and see what, if anything, the developers have done for stacking.

Downloading now.  31 minutes left.   :(

You may or may not noticed that I have been quiet about this for the last few days...there appear to be a lot of bugs. Before going into the game wholeheartedly I am going to wait for a patch to sort things out. The one bug I have not been able to fix so far is lack of sound :(

A mere trifle. Or is that a subset of the 'Pudding' family?
