Never really got in to Shogun:Total War, not sure why. But i've played Medieval : TW a lot, in my opinion it's far better (perhaps because i understand the...
Continuing the current theme of RTS discussions, has anyone played the Praetorian game? I was in Bath this Morning and Game had it for a tenner. I very nearly...
... Don't do it! I borrowed the game from my company's C.E. (equivalent of the company social club here in France) multimedia library and tried it out ... and...
GameSpot gave it an 8.4 with a summary of "Praetorians is an excellent choice for real-time strategy fans looking for a stiff and satisfying challenge." and in...
... I agree with Gaz that since you like the period, and the strategy aspect is sound and for only a 'tenner' it's worth while. I have the game but ashamed I...
Wow, that looks stunning. You've obviously done a lot of work on getting individual soldiers to be on, rather than in or above the ground. I can't wait to play...
Thanks Gaz - it is a lot of work as you mention (moreso for Wayne than myself). I'll let you in to a small secret (but don't tell anyone!). The army shots use...
Damn, RTW trailers do look amazing. But my crap graphics card (S3 Twister K) can't handle the demo. On the positive side, I may have a new computer by the time...
Yes :) as a matter a fact, I've just completed the Praetorians mission, in my continuous quest for gaming. Now I'm going for NemesisOfTheRomanEmpire. - If you...
Oh yes!! WOW it's WOTS!! (Sorry, had to say it). It's been a long time sing any official new pics have been seen and as always you guys do not disappoint -...
I really like Dark Omen (an early influence for the Total War series, I feel), but the 3D effects have never worked since I changed from 3DFX cards. Would be...
Both images are graphically very good. However, this could just be the way my brain interprets these things but while the second image features a plausible...
Crikey. Looking great. I like the perspective and the way the units 'inhabit' the landscape. Nice. Keep on keepin' on! Hoo yeah! On another strategy game note,...
Interesting observation - we were actually aiming more for the appearance of large warbands rather than the Roman "ranks" kind of feel so I guess we succeeded...
Thanks to those who have posted regards the army teaser shots so far. Feedback is always appreciated. If things go as planned the armies could look even more...

If its flickering when hardware acceleration is selected, I'm afraid I can't help as I had the same trouble and it is widely reported on modern systems. The...
Thanks for the comments everyone. Looks like I may give it a go, as I actually like (love) AOE. Possibly the only one here who does, but there you go! ;)...
O ... I've played the demo, mainly to see how it would run on my machine. Runs fine. Zoomed out, the game is somewhat similar to Medieval. It's the zoom in...
I've not played it yet but fully intend to. For those of you in the UK without the luxury of Broadband, the demo is on the cover disc of the current PC Gamer. ...
As several of you were really helpfull with my rcent Laptop query I'm hoping someone might help me out with this one: Youngest daughter is a mad Sims fan and...
Kevin, forgive me if I'm wrong here but based on what your writing it looks very much like that Nvidea 32 MB card most likely meets the demands. Most likely...
If its a nVidia GeForce card (any GeForce including the first one, the GeForce 256) then it has hardware T&L and should be fine. If its an nVidia Riva or TNT...

Brilliant!! As always I'm ever impressed with the knowledge this board can offer. Thanks both Gaz and Marc. One happy daughter in the house! I'm gonna get it...
Bear in mind when you get a new graphics card that you have a motherboard with a decent AGP slot which the one you mentioned probably doesn't. Latest cards...
