Who me or Cake?

Hey they game looks nice - there's just too many buttons. When I played the demo, I couldn't even work out how to rotate the camera.

I ended up sending the troops marching into each other and thats when I turned it off.

Haha yeah I found the buttons confusing at the start too, but I played the tutorial and it worked out fine then Grin

theres the tutorials and 2 battles, I feel cheated for 2gb of download on my connection tbh.

My main problem with it is that everyone had muskets. MTW2 at least had light infantry, heavy, archers, light and heavy cavarly and spearmen. This appears to just have musket people of varying competence at ranged and melee and the general on horseback. True to the times maybe but the battle was on a completely different focus to MTW2. There you found weakspots in the enemy and attacked. Here it seems more about taking cover, maintaining morale and the only reason to push forward at all is due to enemy artillery.

Sea battles are very pretty but confusing to me. Ships appear to randomly catch on fire and surrender without taking huge amounts of damage.

I'm going into town today and I don't think I'll get it. Also because with TF2, L4D, MTW2, Fallout 3 and EvE I don't have time for it yet Pfft
