While I think the most tactical and better polished games in the battle section were empire/napoleon, I still wish to see a medieval 3, especially for the campaign, the one I enjoyed the most; factions tgere were the most balanced, second only to shogun, and Christianity vs Islam along with mongols (that hopefully won't be considered islamic again lol) did add a nice vibe.

Yeah, troop replenishment makes the strategic game so much less of a chore. Main reason why i don't play a lot of M2:TW and R:TW these days.

They made the shooting in line battles way too effective, inf and cav melee combat way too weak. It's even worse with darthmod. In that time period hand to hand combat was still an extremely important facet of battles, and french doctrine relied heavily on it as Angantyr points out. Weren't the only ones either.
Alexander Suvorov, one of the generals Napoleon had deep respect for, said "The bullet is a mad thing; only the bayonet knows what it is about," and "He taught his soldiers to attack instantly and decisively: "Attack with the cold steel! Push hard with the bayonet!". Random quotes maybe but they're indicative of the type of battlefield doctrine he pushed.

I haven't played it in forever but Medieval 1 is still my fav TW game. Honestly the open ended maps of RTW and MTW2 just didnt work for the AI, it seemed to confuse it more than anything, so much senseless campaign movement, if the AI did something clever it was usually completely random. I still remember the MW 1 campaign as much harder and interesting for that reason, may have been a Risk type campaign map but it had to benefit of being easy for the AI to handle. They almost went back to this design philosophy for the maps of Shogun and RTW2, the different regions were practically the same as tiles anyways, with movement much more limited by geography.

Just use some militia meatshields and get some Old Guard into melee. They'll decimate their opponents.

Wow, the interviewer clearly doesn't care in the least. And can be barely bothered to even fake excitement.

There wasn't enough women with lesbian haircuts in the game to please the interviewer, she probably went home and wrote a rage post on tumblr. But seriously, the interviewer didn't seem like the right choice for either parties.

All these guys playing in previews are so bad it hurts. That battle doesnt even look hard at all 

Still looking forward to being a dwarf master race in that game

Thing is it still just looks like a reskinned Attila to me. I don't do the whole warhammer thing so I probably won't pick it up. Joe did ask the question about units clumping up rather than keeping formation but I couldn't tell if it was resolved at all in the battle. Big issue in Rome 2 and Attila that. Also thin lines are a problem too as flanking is more damaging than breaking through the lines. :SS

They've kind of been trying to resolve unit clumping up and formation related stuff, with units just pulling through each other in TW: Arena, afaik. Maybe they apply some of that stuff here. Hopefully.

Other than that, it looks pretty damn sweet
