The Quebec siege has a hideous performance bug because of the rain effect I think, not sure... it's quite widely reported.Poseidon wrote:

Take Montreal first and hope the AI has the sense to leave Quebec .

Just bear in mind that the Road to Independence campaign is a thinly-veiled introductory tutorial campaign, it doesn't really matter if you lose any forts or positions that you were assigned to take and control in the last objective. Just press onwards, make sure you have the minimum required to do the next objective, and make your way slowly through the awesome-storyline and the slowly-introduced game elements. The Grand Campaign is where the actual gameplay and strategy is at.
Havent gotton myself a copy of ETW yet, but as a player of all the other in the series the best advice i can give is to smash the shit out of the place with artillery and take down some walls allowing you to attack from as many positions as possible. Send heavy infantry into the chokes with plenty of light in reserve. Once the walls are taken, rest your heavy infantry and continue moving forward with light infantry/cavalry. Bring your heavies back in when theyre back to full strength and rape face.Bevo wrote:

There are no words to describe the awesomeness of this game.
I mean, the animations could be a little bit more varied, or say believable, but otherwise
BTW, anyone have tips on moving large armies? Whenever I do a select-all-infantry and move to say the wall of a fort, they like to spread themselves out a mile wide, and sometimes off in random directions.
For now I just select 3 or so at a time, or by type.
Also, any pointers on taking a city/fort? I get absolutely murdered going through the door choke, and climbing the walls seems to a far too confusing task for my troops.
okay what the fuck man. I had never heard or had problems with a WSoD until I read this post. I got back into the game shortly after, and got my first one in less than five minutes of playing.GR34 wrote:

Yeah, I had to download some bullshit update from steam right when I installed it, took me 45 minutes on a pretty damn good internet connection.RavyGravy wrote:
so i got it at around 2:00 this afternoon, installed it and all that, then steam starts downloading something for it, yeah no worries, 5 hours later its at 13% complete...seriosuly what the fuck.
And they won't fucking release it in Asia. What dicks.Uzique wrote:
To be honest, this is the first highly-anticipated (by my own admission/standards) game that I haven't bought from Steam. For all the reasons stated above and a few more, such as their extortionate price and their lack of customer-understanding. There's a Steam group with several million members protesting against their hideous business-strategy of barely bothering to convert prices from USD to Euro/Pound, and it still seems to be a problem nowadays.
I managed to order the Special Edition from a top UK retailer (Amazon.co.uk) and have a physical copy express-delivered to me on the release-day for £5 less than it is to download the basic edition from Steam. Poor business. Besides, knowing the quality and capability of Steam's servers on important launch days, I wouldn't even be able to 'play' the game on launch-day if I had pre-ordered from their online service. They really have lost the plot... bitten off more than they can chew... got in over their heads... etc.etc. They need a major upgrade to their server structure and business model, they don't hold a unique niche (i.e. digital content platform) anymore.
Nope, not once. Even when I've outnumbered an enemy around 1500 to 300.Bevo wrote:

I've clicked the button a few times, and it greys out as if it was accepted, but nothing happens. There was no popup to say it was refused...
He died when I stationed my army just outside a french force, and tried to merge armies. Turns out the other army wasn't close enough... we got raped he died.Poseidon wrote:

Btw, Battle of Bunker Hill =
It's funny though, George Washington died in the French and Indian War but he's back for the American Revolution. He must be like Jesus (aka a Zombie).
The TW games aren't historically accurate at all.Poseidon wrote:
