Wait...really? Shit, that's awesome. I didn't know that. Where did you see that?

So my retail version can be registered through Steam? Sick.

TWcenter.net forum had some things about it

First thou shalt purchase Empire: Total War. Then, shalt we use Steam, no more, no less.
Steam shalt be the system that shalt be used, and the system of using shall be Steam.
Limited install shalt not be used, nor either any other system, excepting that thou must proceed to Steam.
SecuROM is right out.
Once the system Steam, being the only system, and the game be installed, then lobbest thou thy CD or DVD of Empire:Total War towards thy bin, if thou wishest it, being not needed in your drive, and thou shalt play it.

not mine, got it from the TWcenter forum

I know what you mean man.....it's just the same as with the julii I took thousands of infantry to conquer the Gauls. The Gallic artillery was really touch but my musketmen were easily able to outclass them with skilled maneuvering and changing firelines to entrap those Gauls in a crossfire before finishing off with a calvary charge of dragoons.

The senate was pleased
What the hell kind of game were you playing? Sounds like a cross between Rome & Medieval II TW...

I was taking the piss -_-

Take that you damn French son of a bitch.

(finally got one of them to burn and then it exploded. lol)

If that much detail is in the demo, the full game is going to be epic.

I'm going to spend so much time online fighting Naval battles, I love it...

I can't seem to successfully board and capture another ship. They become entangled, I see some of my men board, but not long after the ships just break apart and the masts all fall.

I've tried crippling all enemy ships just so I can board the last one and I never can capture it.

Thanks Reaps.

Just two scenarios though? Not going to bother. Wish I hadn't given away ME:TW2 or Rome. I Wanna play Rome now.

@ Drunk, most demos are around that at least now. It's because of the graphics/physics engines.

from what I've understood, no.

And from the looks of the demo, no.

They even use the Steam Avatars ingame.

Point was I owned the Gold Edition + Exp pack.

Gave it away a while back though. Didn't think I'd want to play it again a few years down the track.

Looks stunning.

Does anybody know the system req's for medium quality (or low). The game looks extremely demanding and I'm only running an 8600GT 4GB 2.1 dual core

2.4Ghz single core processor
256MB Gfx card (DX9 compaitble)
1GB RAM (For XP, 2GB if using Vista)

those are the minimum

i would imagine you would be fine on medium. i'm only a bit ahead of you and i can play it on ultra

The more I look into this game the more enthusiastic I become. Although I am slightly confused about the release date, some sources say March, others April. Which is the official?

And if any of you want to get a group together to play regularly once the game is released I would be more than willing to set something up.
