Total War series seldom disappoint me ever.

Anyway, China was very strong during imperial age. However towards the end they were weaken by 8 other countries during the opium war.

Opium critically wounded China which then leads to massive corruption.

If were not for that, China would be first world country and also a super power.

Anyway, in the modern days China is a power to reckon with and they are on their way to become a super power. With its cheap labour and they high value professionals (For eg. accountants)

Malaysia 3 years experience get RM3600-RM3800 per month

In China, for similar experience you'll get RM18,000 per month

I am looking forward to this as well since the last one kept me awake for several days and weeks of late night gaming.

Are they using the same engine with the one they used for Medieval Total War 2?

What resolutions are you guys playing the demo at? Might wanna get this as well.....

PC Gamer US gave Empires Total War a 94%.

Sounds more and more tempting by the day.

Anybody getting this?

If so, is anyone able to play this @ 1920x1200 resolution at a smooth FPS rate? And what is your PC configuration?

Thanks.

There is somebody selling in the Gamer's Hideout at a cheaper price.

I am thinking of getting my copy from him.

Hey Gormaz,

Is there more copies of ETW Special Edition in 1Utama?

I think I might get my copy here as well.

This retail copy also requires Steam? You gotta be kidding me.

Thanks.

I think I'll get the special edition, if there is still a copy there.

I am just going home to sleep tonight. Work till 4 am this morning and came back to work @ 8 am. I think I need a break.

Hi everyone,

Is the sound finally fixed in the retail version? I am getting this from Garage Sales soon enough.

Thank you.

Finally received my copy from Crestfallen earlier today.

I bought the Special Forces Edition for RM200 including postage form Crestfallen.

For those who wonder what are the contents of the Special Forces Edition, please find the enclosed photo as follows:

Contents of the Empire Total War Special Forces Edition


I am currently installing the game but unlikely to have time to play (maybe during the end of March).

Thanks.

Too bad don't have much time these few weeks to play, so much work.

Fortunately, I am getting a new PC soon.

Hopefully by then I can play at 1920x1200 with all the bell and whistles turned up to maximum.

That is true, I bought Half Life 2 Collector's Edition many years back.

It shows as not installed when I logged into Steam. So does Half Life 2 Lost Coast, Half Life Source, Half Life Death Match, Half Life 2 Death Match and Counter-Strike.

I think the reason for this is to prevent 2nd hand sales for its games since the games will be tied to Steam. 2nd hand sales does not result in Valve or other games company profiting from it.

You guys are so lucky, I haven't even had time to touch mine yet due to heavy workload.

Anyway, could Frags update the title since the game has been released earlier this month.

Just my 2 cents.

The battles are the best aspect of the game IMHO.

If it weren't for the battles, this could easily be similar to a board game like Monopoly or Risk (ie. rolling a dice)

Bought this game almost 2 weeks ago, haven't got the time to touch it.

Just installed and left it there.

Hopefully when I get my new rig I would have some time to play this game.

Alright, I finally received my new PC last night.

I'll report my experience with this new PC once I install the game and play with it for awhile.

Hopefully, I won't encounter the sound problems like my old PC (equipped with X-Fi). I am currently using Asus Xonar DX2, it's a lot better than X-Fi in my opinion.

I am having problems re-installing Empire Total War in my new computer.

It takes forever for the part where it says "Creating local game cache file...."

Any help?

Thanks, I left it on the whole night installing and now its finally done.

I think I am probably the person who spend the least time on it compared to the rest in the thread.

So far I have only spend like 0.2 hours in the game hahaha......

Played for a few hours on Saturday. No issues with the sound effects and voices after patching.

The sound effects of the cannons are awesome!
