To be honest, if you play any Total War game on anything but Hard, you're doing it wrong.

The game has never been a challenge, at all, unless you play it on max-settings. The AI in the series are notoriously stupid.

I agree. There are some changes comparing to pervious TW games. I want to get to know them and the best is to take it easy. I know I will be playing this game for long time now, cause I tend to put it all on hard after I know "when, where, how" .

Walmart is pure evil man! To quote south park "can't you see, Walmart is you". (kidding)

On topic: What does it cost at Walmart anyways? I'm a man of few morals and have no problem feeding the machine that is Walmart.

Lulz, $50 I believe, CoD4 still costs that much =/

Not that, heard you have to activate it on steam, then it would check for region. So if you're in Asia and get a US copy, then it won't work.

I have heard that you might be restricted to play with those in your country (for better pings I guess), that sucks for me cause there might not be a large enough group of aussies playing to find regular matches.

Since one hardcore TW player said "Ima fakin pr0, entire inturnetz can't beet me." Of course when Timmy got word on the other side of the country that some kid could finish a thousand man battle in under 2 minutes with his cavalry he had to log-in. And the chain continues to roll to this day.

Good bedtime story? I thought so. Sleep tight Flecco.

More seriously though, Haven't they come out with some feature allowing on-line parties to fight battles against you during your own campaign? If what I heard is correct (I think I may have read it here in this thread) then it should be all about the multi-player. Even the campaign uses it.

No idea.

How does one "dock" a ship so they can let armies off to attack a city? I've got a bunch of troops just ready to lay siege to franceville, but cant figure out how to do it.

nevermind.

ok some one has to explain naval battles. I am the British and I had 6 4th rate ships of the line against 3 Spanish gallons. I lost 2 of my ships to two broadsides from one ship I had 4 ships pass the other all gave full broad sides all hitting the ship its health move a pixel. it fired one cannon and started my ship on fire. WTF is with naval battles. And why cant I hear the gun/ cannon shots?

Would anyone happen to know why my friend's game crashes when he tries to load his saved game? He got booted to desktop when he was moving his army around the map. When he started the game back up, it crashed to desktop again when he tried to load the campaign.

Anyone else having issues with taking out guys in buildings?

Sometimes my guys won't attack, sometimes they'll just stand there... sometimes they'll try and shoot in the windows which does absolutely nothing, and sometimes they'll rush inside and get slaughtered.

Ideas? My cannons aren't very... well, accurate. Not enough to take out a warehouse or so.

Total war games have always been notoriously buggy, especially with unit AI.

Wait for the patch maybe.
