[QUOTE="DanielDust"] I really don't see what "rugby" has to do with foot-ball, they rarely touch the ball with their feet. What? Rugby has a decent amount of kicks in it, plus I don't know what your purpose was in that sentence.
I found the medieval games much more fun, perhaps because they were easy tactics wise etc. Still I would buy those games because of the savings and play them later.
Thanks - I've tried 1,3 and 4 several times but no luck, and I just can't find the prefs script, can't even find creativeassembly in the appdata folder. i think its something else because cinematics for warcraft 3 don't work either :/gamer_serious
Could also try running in compatibility mode, other than that, I suggest you head to the total war forums. Hope it all works out for you.
thanks, yeah 2am here. Um, I should be fine, I've got a new alienware M14x, so i think it has an i7 processor, 6 g ram, should be enough?gamer_serious
1. Run the Visual C++ redist setup again. This can be found here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\total war shogun 2\redist\vcredist_x86.exe, or your equivalent directory (varies according to OS). 2. Delete or rename your preferences script. This can be found by typing %appdata% in any navigation bar then hitting enter. Navigate to The Creative Assembly\Shogun2\scripts\ and delete or rename the file preferences.script.txt 3. Verify the integrity of your game cache. Right click on Shogun 2 and click Properties. Then navigate to the local files tab and click "Verify integrity of game cache...". This ensures your version of Shogun 2 is exactly the same working version that appears on the server. 4. Delete your Steam ClientRegistry.blob file. This can be found in your Steam installation folder (for me it's C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam)
Does anyone have any advice for stalled launch of total war shogun 2? Dialog box appears for a second then just black screen, have tried everything else suggested on the web, i.e verifying game cache, checking drivers, reinstalling.... thanksgamer_serious
No, SC 2 has it own matchmaking system called Battle.Net. You have several leagues in the game ranging from Bronze to Platinum and then Diamond. Realistically, its impossible to get to Diamond and most people will never reach Platinum.
It places you in a league based on how well you play so it should always match you with roughly equal oponents no matter how good or bad you are. Its matchmaking is quite good and it has an extremely active playerbase.
Just understand the game is crazy competitive and you can easily win or lose matches in split second decisions and tactics.

Battle.net, that's it. I though it was like some launcher/hub thingy. Though your mentioning of split second decisions is a little off putting. I guess the matchmaking would make up for it.
I just bought it, it's installing now so I'll let you know what I think when it finishes. For $4.50 almost any game is worth it at that price. ferrari2001
Really interested in the performance as I have a lappy that's pretty dodgy.
[QUOTE="madmenno"]Imo the best TBS is civilzation IV, you can get it for a bargain somewhere like you did with HOMM V. If your up to a heavy learning curve try to get your hand on hearts of iron. And imo the best RTS would be starcraft 2, reinstall that candy asap and work your way up to the diamond league. If you like HOMM, try to get HOMM 3, it's old but it surely has better gameplay then the others. I am a real TBS player. You might want to look into some X-com titles, the first and second are the best but extraterrestrials is nice as well, modded. What does buying Starcraft 2 require you to do? Does it require it's own "hub" , ie steam(like) launcher etc?
