Graphics are superb. The ship battles look incredible.

This was sent to me earlier this month:

"Check out this youtube link for a laugh.

Aside from the coercive DRM issues with the game there are a lot of other reasons which might make you think twice before buying. The youtube link is a fair reflection of what is being said on the TW forums anyway. The link is quite funny though. Here it is:

I don't own the game myself, so just passing what I have heard along...

Don't own the game but I enjoyed the YouTube videoclip! The jokes were a bit lame but still, great viewing.

Yes, looks like they really messed up this time. Wish I had read the forum first but at least I didnt pay 50 bucks! LOL

Perhaps they will correct the issues with an update. Otherwise the modders have sorted out some of the issues of limited scenarios.

Still I like the TW series and I will still try it out. MP games are best for this series anyway. Playing battles against another online opponent is alot of fun.

Ah I see Marechal Hamilton and Colonel Peters are at this table. Sir's damn the total war series and tell us when we can have our new game(s) from you! [:D][:D][:p][:0]

It/they must be close now....a hint perhaps an encoded response? [8D]

We are about ... months away from releasing a game.

Could be six, eighteen, twelve, two or twenty.

But rest assured Rich or I will have something out by that time!

Campaign ... is sure to make alot of you happy to still be here gaming.

It wont have wavvy grass blowing in the breeze but the sound of battle will be available![8D]

Hope that helps!
