You don't require the best pc in the world to access the funniest part of total war games; the grand campaign!
And his sucks compared to mine, and mine sucks compared to someone else, and so on and so forth.
Can't wait 2 weeks :(

I believe United Provinces are the Dutch.
Yes! More massive RTS! I'm starting to miss RTS games, and so this will satisfy my strategist mind!
I got a PC Gamer today, 94 out of 100, not a bad score.
Now let me just hope it lives up to the overblown hype I've stupidly built about it in my mind.

That's a shame, since I couldn't even run Medieval 2 maxed out, hehe.
However I did recently survive a battle in Rome Total War with 9000 combatants.

I'm sorry, I just couldn't help it.
What's this I hear about an online campaign?
is the demo out yet

Supposedly you can play a Grand Campaign with one other person over Steam. I don't have any further details, though.
And yes, it actually did have "over 9000" combatants, technically. 6000+ were the Senate, 3000 was me.
the grand campaign over steam will be activated a week after release
you can start up a game, and it can be saved to steam. the situations in which battles are fought or auto resolved are chosen at the start of the game. you can even make it so that enemy AI factions will be controlled by the other player in the battle stage

I kinda like the idea of making it be many large perpetual matches involving many people (like EndWar) but I dunno how the hell that'd work
you'd have to make the campaign map be real-time like Age of Empires, and each player would have to be delegated to controlling/upgrading only 1 or 2 units at a time (and integrate them into large battles- think about the potential for "clan armies")
But hell, it'd probably take a lot of server juice to run it as it'd be a MMO real time strategy game. Would be pretty cool though.
Holy shit how much more exiting can Empire: Total War get?
I'm about to explode from waiting.

Hearts of Iron and a few other of Paradox's strategy games work well for what you're saying, but only for planned events or LAN games.
Can't wait for this now.
Gonna be off the charts!
Where's our demo god damn it. :(
If the game has already been reviewed, surely you can let us have the demo.
The grand campaign online must be the best new feature of all (yes, even better than naval battles).
The grand campaign hot-seat that was in the Medieval 2 exspansion was epic, especially the American campaign, me and a friend went on with it for weeks (the apaches were priceless, I got at least 2 full armies each turn).
Oh yeah, the OP should add all 5 chapters of the gameplay videos in the first post.
Oh shit, just looked at the naval picture in the OP.
That will definitely rape my computer ten times over.
Will you be able to fight real-time battles in the multiplayer campaign? Not just auto-resolve?
If not I don't really see a reason to play it.

It could be that the attacking player commands his army, while the defending ones army is commanded by the AI.
If it is like in Medieval 2 then it's only auto-resolve.

It should be like that but both players have to accept to it. Otherwise it would get pretty boring with some guy throwing single units of peasants at your enormous army of dragoons every 5 minutes just so you have to sit through the loading screen each time.
Scucks that Germans are not playable as we didn't really have a country at that time.
"Holy Roman Empire of German Nationality" who would like to play that?
Well I would.
demo is out tomorrow
