Yeah I doubt they played through a normal campaign at all during testing.

No naval invasions by the AI is proof enough of that.

It's a half finished game. I'm not going to really bother with it much more until the next few patches.

Yeah, guess what...I tried it again with Russia because, well, it's fun to play when it works.

Ugh.

So I bull-rushed the Ottoman Empire and got really rich by punching a hole straight through to India. But I found out something else. There's a limit to how many build orders you can have going up at the same time. Remember how old games got rid of dead bodies to save memory? Well, this is an age of gaming rigs with 2-4GB of RAM, and I'm certain that the game's not that thirsty that it has to toss out a few bytes of data. Again, fucking sloppy.

WHAT FUCKING USE is world domination if you can't issue orders to as many fucking territories as you want because the game can't buffer it all. What the fuck?

What a mixed bag. I thought I was going mad for a minute when the spinning build icons kept repopping all over Europe.

===

A few stats would be nice too, like world religion percentage, a better diplomatic chart and so on. All that suck until you start shooting cannons, and then the game exercises its only redeeming value (at the moment).

I went to conquer the Indians with my old British Empire and I found why my end turns would last so long.
There was a city with literally 10 generals with full armies each and plus 5 other small armies in that fcking tiny area.
It took almost 6 minutes for my armies to attack them.

psh

i've taken over the land of beer and sausage (bavaria), taken the other small germanic nations (wurttemburg, hanover, westphalia) very kindly liberated and returned vienna and prague to the austrians, finished off the prussians, gave silesia and east prussia to the brits (so the poles'll get off my tits about them), and acquired new york in return from engerland

and even with 2 full strength armies and navies and at least one blockade by pirates, i still make 14K gold a turn

but those goddamn swedes have to go

probably because of the LOD, they don't animate at certain distances.

Threw one last attempt at the US campaign #4 and bull-rushed all the required areas and quickly filled extra stuff with other nearby regions and Iceland. It told me to wait out the alotted time. So I do nothing over the course of a dozen or so turns, saving each time.

Crash.
Reload, end turn.
Crash.
Reload previous save.
End turn. End turn.
Crash.

Well, the CA guys have sort of followed a chronological order with their games, Shogun, Medieval, Rome, Medieval 2, Empire. So i guess they are not really going to jump to space battles. And plus they relied on realistic and historically accurate data and stuff for their games.
Wtf was Stormrise then?

Viking?

Gladiator?

They just make games.

those are just console games.
I seriously would ahte if they made a space game. would be ridiculous.

Why did you quote yourself? Just curious.

I was only pointing out that they haven't followed any chronological order either. Btw, Rome was one of the most historically inaccurate titles ever based on that period of history that tried to play itself off as 'historically accurate'.

Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.
