What is the key to queue up orders? I can't seemt to find it. I am too, also not sure if I should buy online or go get the collector's edition.
the land battle was easy
don't use cavalry, send in the light infantry to hold down the riflemen then use cavalry to rout them
[QUOTE=Pvt. Ryan;13910504]the land battle was easy

So like, all the little dudes that aren't on horses run straight forward and get in a firefight, and then the cavalry goes to that road way off to the left? What about the Americans in the forest?
The cavalry can take the Americans in the forest, although the groups of line riflemen at the end of the path will probably destroy them.
The land battle was easy for me, but it took me a VERY long time to figure out how to do the naval battles effectively.
Every time I played the demo naval battle I won but lost my admiral's ship... I even tried having that ship pull back to behind the others when it got damaged but they still somehow managed to catch my gunpowder supply and sink the shit out of me...
This is out on Monday, right? I thought they were having a 1 week preload, but I could have misread something about another game...

use light infantry to the left I mean
get into firefights with the riflemen and use the cavalry to hit em from the rear, dismount some dragoons if necessary to help
But you should use the light infantry to kill the 2 cannon batteries across the creek (the ones to the left of the first crossing) before this, get em as close to the shore as possible and they'll be in range.
I love the game for the animation when a ship sinks. I know they are jumping into their death but it looks just cute.
I think the naval battle was way to easy, aslong as you micromanage each ship so it's firing at something you win, atleast with the demo battle. Not lost a ship in about 5 plays.

Wednesday at 4 PM EST.
[QUOTE=Canesfan;13909897]Also, am I the only one that's really hoping that the Americans can sail across the Atlantic to make claims in Europe? (Or just revenge, basically.)[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Canesfan;13910255]Well I hope that's possible. And with the government changes, i'm reasonably hoping for an American monarchy ruling over Europe.[/QUOTE]
Revenge? What did the Europeans ever do to you?
Don't like being the descendants of Europeans?

Wednesday? Isn't it the 3rd? And isn't the 3rd Tuesday?

I just bought Medieval II Gold Edition because Empires won't run in my computer *cries*
Seems to be a good game, have to wait 3 months til I can afford a new pc though...
Don't the screenshots look sexy? :V
Dammit, Empire is coming here Western Canada on the 5th.

Shouldn't you be able to play Empires if you can run Medieval 2?

Coming on the 4th here in Germany, it's wednesday.
Does the Kingdoms Addon change anything in the main camaign of ME2 or does it just add those campaigns?
[QUOTE=Killuah;13923094]Does the Kingdoms Addon change anything in the main camaign of ME2 or does it just add those campaigns?[/QUOTE]
It adds those campaigns, and makes it possible to play those campaigns on hot-seat too.
Also, with Kingdoms you can DL a mod that will make the grand campaign a lot bigger by including all the new ones.
aahhh I love the demo, still failing miserably at the sea battles though, I always feel im wining then one after another my ships surrender lol, ahh well, im happy enough with my skill on land.
I forked out £600 in upgrading my pc for this game (it was going to happen but this pushed the date forward a few months) now it runs like a dream :)
Not a single review has been under 90 yet, it's looking pretty good.
IGN gave it a 95.

I'm gonna kick the british out of canada after the ROTI and share America with the spanish aka future mexicans

I'm probably going to play as Marathas and take over America, talk about twisting history.
Or I'm going to play as Sweden, I don't know yet.
You can only play as a few nations, assuming CA decides to be cool and not make modding playable nations easy. I don't believe Sweden is one of them.
as a brit, ive got my sights set on India and the Americas. time to see just how well an elephant can take a cannon ball...
[QUOTE=HolyCrusade;13924029]You can only play as a few nations, assuming CA decides to be cool and not make modding playable nations easy. I don't believe Sweden is one of them.[/QUOTE]
Yes it is, the confirmed playable factions so far:
-France
-Sweden
-Ottoman Empire
-Great Britain
-United Provinces
-Russia
-Spain
-Prussia
-Lithuania-Poland
-Austria
-Marathas
-USA
Those are confirmed as playable for now.
I wish Germany was there, well, not Germany but the German nation, we had colonies in Africa and China..
