Did anyone hear that some dude downloaded the unfinished demo off of Steam and played it on a live stream?

Straight from the horse's mouth [url]http://shoguntotalwar.yuku.com/topic/42290/t/THE-DEMO.html[/url]
I want that demo :S
Haha, the guy who commented the leak is awesome. [quote]can't condone or encourage what he did I would suggest that when demoing live one should always try grouping ships in custom formation (Organise then hit g on selected ships) and also account for the wind a little more when playing.[/quote]
Wow I can't wait for this game. Will it support Quad-Core? I hope so - I really have to play this with the settings as high as they'll go! Being English I'll probably play as Britain. I hear they have the worst cavalry but the best infantry? No matter - I've always been rubbish with horses and what's the point in having Empire if you're not going to use shit-loads of muskets!? :D
I think I am going to buy it retail, steam prices are higher than retail.

[QUOTE=acds;13671771]I'd like to know this too, since I hate having a quad that doesn't get used in games.[/QUOTE] Yes it uses Quad Core.
[QUOTE=tankkiller;13671865]Yes it uses Quad Core.[/QUOTE] Ok, thanks. Finally a game that uses it (and a few other).

I might get this, I love total war series. And they have finaly put in sea fight! The one I liked most in the series is Rome: Total war.
[QUOTE=Kalibos;13661478]I've found the exact opposite is true. Unless I play the battle myself and babysit my forces to minimize casualties, the AI always wastes a shitload of men every battle. Even if you win it's a bittersweet victory at best because now you're missing an unnecessarily huge chunk of your army. The only times I autoresolve are when I'm sieging a city with the odds highly stacked on my side or, in the case of a field battle, when I'm just mopping up small armies in my lands.[/QUOTE] Auto-resolve can also be used if you're attacking a citadel and only have a catapult for siege weaponry.You'd never make it inside normally.
[QUOTE=PowerBall v1;13677207]The one I liked most in the series is Rome: Total war.[/QUOTE] Totally agreed. On another note, where can I find information on each of the factions? Have the details been released? Cavalry ftw!
[QUOTE=Rusty Shackleford;13678522]Totally agreed. On another note, where can I find information on each of the factions? Have the details been released? Cavalry ftw![/QUOTE] Well the website have some info about each faction that have been announced.
Just over 2 week to go and still no demo. However we have been given this [url]http://shoguntotalwar.yuku.com/topic/42411/t/A-Map-of-India-Official-.html[/url] 20 regions in india so around 100 overall assuming america is larger still because of the various campaigns there???
Austria have been announced! [url]http://www.totalwar.com/empire/gameinfo/factions.php?id=24[/url]
I have always loved the total war series. The grand campaign online is probably the most interesting addition (it was in the medieval 2 expansion too, but only on local), finally I will be able to play against a human-controlled faction.
Is anyone else unable to connect to TWCenter.net? On the related note of problems, is anyone having trouble posting quick replies?
Yeah TW Center seems to be down. Maybe they ran out of donation money or something.
I can't wait for this game, i just hope it comes in stores in Iceland, stalker clear sky still hasn't arrived in stores goddamn will the game come out on steam ?
What do you think when you see "Pre-purchase now!" icon for ETW on the Steam main page?
[QUOTE=Tac Error;13695510]What do you think when you see "Pre-purchase now!" icon for ETW on the Steam main page?[/QUOTE] it's not on the main page for me Oh yeah it randomly changes between world of goo/mass effect and ETW i'm gonna pre-purchase that shit
You get Rome: Total War Gold Edition for free aswell
Where is the demo? This game is so fucking epic.
2 more weeks.
Gameplay footage! :) Showcasing the AI and how they use real life tactics against you. British empire raping what appears to be the United Provinces, whatever that is.

For your info, the Ferguson rifle is a breech loaded rifle, you can see the rate of fire is pretty good. D: I can't fucking wait, 2 more god damn weeks. :D :D
I wonder how my two gigs RAM, dual core processor @ 3.1ghz and 8800GTS 612mb graphics card will run it FPS-wise... I think they have only released minimum specs, but those are just for opening up the game's menu, heh.
