Epidemic · August 2004

Wow, pretty cool but what a mess or micro organisation to keep track of, I found it pretty easy though once I got the hang of it, first group the enemy in the middle, then run them over with the elephants (they are soo overpowered btw.) <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

Gamestop has free demo CDs lying around if you ask nicely, or reserve a copy of the game. Or work there.

They're... elephants. What do you honestly expect? For them to roll over and play dead?

No. because they aren't. Either way "Time Commanders" is just about the worst name for a TV show you could ever have.

UltimaGecko · August 2004

...They're elephants, they have 15x more hitpoints than a regular soldier (...1). Plus, the armored elephants are...well...armored. They're not impossible to kill just really hard. They can also panic and run your own troops down (...or get a bit excited chasing a routing foe and run your troops down). I'd assume they also cause fear to the enemy...

Diablus · August 2004

Im a <span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>HUGE</span> fan of the TW series, I just tried the demo, its freakin PWN, and it runs pretty damn smoothly on my comp.

Im so buying this to add to my TW: collection <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' />

(<3 armored and war elephants.)

though ive gotta say, trying to take them down when they're on the enemy side is going to be a *insert other word for female dog here*

I've tried twice and failed. Just don't let your General go near them; 1st time he was gored and 2nd time he was gored and then crushed by a falling 'phant.

docchimpy · August 2004

Arg. Apparently the demo doesn't like my computer. "Rome.exe" Has created errors...

ARG!

Infinitum · August 2004

Rome looks to be a lot of fun.

I really really want to give this a good run in multiplayer.

Only thing I can't stand at the moment is deserters (Retard units who run away for no reason...) Hopefully there'll be an option...

I absolutely love the swarming behaviour of each division!

spinviper · August 2004

Know where I can get the mod?

Mod?

This is a new game in the series not a mear mod. Download links to the demo are on the first page.

UltimaGecko · August 2004

I'm not sure if it's a link to the one I downloaded (and, infact, I haven't even tested either of them). Although it sounds like this one works to me.

Note to people:
The tutorial level is:
Romans and you vs Gaul barbarians
Battle of Trebia River is
Carthagians (you) vs Romans

This mod lets you try the Romans at Trebia.
[and yes, it's a mod for a demo <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /> ]

[edit] It has been pointed out that I must be smoking something, since the above link, is not a link - but a kangaroo covered in ice cream; here is the <a href='http://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=35407' target='_blank'>link</a>.

No, the mod to allow me to play the romans in the demo..

Draconis · August 2004

The graphics are really excellent, and gameplay offers lots of addition compared to MTW/STW. Too bad units speak English <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' />.

DivW · August 2004

I love the demo, I've played it to death already.

The graphics are superb and I'm suprised my computer could run it all smoothly.

One thing bothers me though, the battles seem very fast paced compared to the previous Total War games.
It's not necessarily a bad thing, but I still have to adjust to the speed of the whole game.
Also, I wish the camera could zoom out some more in the game.

As I mentioned before, my demo has me playing the Romans at Trebia. I beat it, but it was hard. And I never installed a mod.

Hibame · August 2004

I just played my first game, no tut had it on medium and crushed them, I hope it gets harder. /me points at screen shot for proof

TychoCelchuuu · August 2004

Try playing it on a harder difficulty or as the Romans. Stupid elephants are fricken invincible.

I won though <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /> Fear the Total War master.

Hibame · August 2004

Well, im not getting this game thats for shure. I out it on the hardest diffucluty and as soon as the romans came up to my line of death my hole and mean HOLE freaking army runs away. I send in my hudden troops and they take the roman general but my troops are still god dam running away. Im not shure about you but why your army runs away it may be realism but it shure the freaking hell pisses me off when the game forces you to lose. My mercs that were hidden on the right side didnt even move they just gave up ..... my general was the last one I had and he was of couse owned by 800+ romans becouse the hole army decided then was a good time to go running off.

Many thanks, man!

Nil_IQ · August 2004

Me also wants the Romans mod, elephants are FREAKING INVINCIBLE!

One group on one flank, another on the other flank, wait for the enemy to charge, SMUSH!

Their only weakness is meant to be that they panic easily, which is true enough, but by the time they're panicking they're normally right in the middle of a hoarde of romans, so they have to trample a few more to death even to escape <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' />

And also missile units are apparently the key to killing unarmoured elephants, and spearmen for the armoured ones.
