Watched a guy play it on Justin.tv this afternoon. How he was playing it was beyond me. Even all the battle and campaign music was the same as Total war. They redesigned the command bar and made it a different colour, more Frenchy like. Otherwise what was the fucking point?

It's kinda like a stand-alone update to Empire Total War so a lot of content will feel very familiar although there are numerous tweaks and updates done to the game.
(Based on posts on the CA forums, haven't played much aside from the two basic tutorials and a little bit on the campaign tutorial to re-familiarize myself with the game system and style of play.)

Also as for this.
Quote:

We can play when the crack is out. Everything is there, only main exe is missing, wich you get when you activate the game, or wait for crack.


The EXE is the only file missing for it to be playable but there's also a patch out (Contained in those files I uploaded.) although as I only have the English version and can't change much I only got the English patch data. (Patch.pak is for all but Patch_En.pak is language specific.)
(It's in my initial post that I've kept editing again and again.)

EDIT: Oh and I'd recommend this Steam beta update, although it seems there's a bug that might re-download Modern Warfare 2 if it's installed.
http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/62488
( Steam changed from 5.6 to 5.8 perhaps a update to 6.0 once final as per the current Steam_58.mst file and SteamUI_1111.mst )

Depends where you live - Amazon UK currently have the game for £18, which is probably cheaper than any game-key store has it.

I live in Denmark, so VAT will most likely be applied.
But thanks for the suggestion nonetheless.

Update: Ends up in 25£ for me, when ordering from Amazon UK.

There's also the Royal Scots Greys unit if you pre-ordered on steam.


I'm pissed that the Elite Regiment stuff isn't available as a dlc yet on steam.

btw for those wondering what im on about..

if you buy the Imperial Edition you get



Elite Regiment Pack

The “Elite Squadron” pack is a collection of 5 of the most Elite Forces of the Napoleonic Wars, from all the major European factions. They proved their bravery, discipline and excellence in key battles and will dramatically expand the player’s strategic options on the battlefield.
These exclusive elite units become available on the campaign map once you have made a specific technological advancement or own the relevant territory.

5e Regiment de Hussards – France: Light and fast, these veterans of the American War of Independence can quickly reach areas of the battlefield where they are most needed, cutting down the enemy with their curved sabres.

Pavlograd Hussars – Russia: All hussars have “dash” and a touch of derring-do in their collective attitude towards war. Pavlograd hussars are, without exception, excellent horsemen, ideal for chasing down skirmishers and overrunning artillery units.

8th Life Regiment – Prussia: The steadiness displayed by the men of the 8th Life Regiment is amazing, and on the battlefield they will encourage nearby troops to follow their example. As with many Prussian line infantry units, these men are incredibly disciplined and trained.

47th (Czech) Regiment – Austria: These veteran soldiers are adept at close and fire combat. When formed in a disciplined line, they can unleash a massed volley of fire and then move forwards to engage in melee with the enemy.

88th Foot "Connaught Rangers" – Great Britain: A little rough around the edges, but courageous and professional on the battlefield, the Connaught Rangers are an Irish line infantry regiment. Whether pushing home a bayonet or forming a disciplined firing line, these men will stand and fight.



Heroes of the Napoleonic Wars Pack

The “Heroes of the Napoleonic Wars” pack gathers the most superb infantry and cavalrymen who fought during the great Napoleonic battles: 10 exclusive units, which will all make a difference during key engagements, whether using formidable weapons or exceptional tactical skills.

7th Lancers – France: These cavalrymen are armed with lances that make them particularly deadly when charging. The lance allows the user to put all his weight, and that of his charging horse, behind one very sharp point.

Brandenburg Uhlans – Prussia: They are some of the most experienced cavalrymen in Europe and can persuade their steeds into breathtaking acts of speed.

1st Hussars – Austria: The 1st Hussars are, without exception, superb horsemen, and all have a certain independence of spirit that makes them ideal for chasing down widely scattered men.

15th Hussars – Great Britain: The 15th Hussars are made up of veteran cavalrymen, deadly in close combat and at the charge. Their speed makes them ideal for chasing down skirmishers and for dealing with artillery units.

1st East Prussian Grenadier Battalion – Prussia: Only the largest, bravest men can become grenadiers; this size and strength makes them an impressive sight in a charge, and gives them an edge in melee.

6th Regiment d’Infanterie Légère – France: Historically, the 6th Regiment saw action in over forty battles during the Napoleonic Wars and were awarded seven battle honours for their achievements.

17th Jäger Regiment – Russia: Able to fight in loose skirmish formation or fire a massed volley when organised in line, the Jägers are an adaptable response to enemy tactics.

1st Regiment Emperor's Own – Austria: The 1st Regiment “Emperor’s Own” is made up of battle-hardened Czech troops, as deadly with their bayonets as they are excellent marksmen.

18th Regiment d’Infanterie de Ligne “The Brave” – France: The 18th Regiment are revered by their fellow countrymen, who know them as “The Brave”. They are experienced soldiers and that makes them valuable on the battlefield.

Moscow Musketeers – Russia: Formed into a disciplined line, they can unleash a massed volley into an enemy then, while the enemy is reeling, follow it with a decisive bayonet charge.

Oh sorry, I should have specified. I pre-ordered the game on steam last month. I have no idea what Razor's version contains or doesn't contain, sorry Sad


But you only get the Elite Regiment pack if you buy a box copy of the Imperial Edition of the game. The steam copy comes with Heroes of the Napoleonic wars. You can only get one or the other.

But the annoying thing is I can't order the other pack on Steam. I hope they don't wait half a year like they did with the damn Elite Units from the Special Edition of Empire: Total War.

Yeah but isn't the emperor edition only available in Australia though?


Plus I'm pretty sure that doesn't come with the Royal Scots Greys preorder unit because that's ONLY if you pre-order on steam.


So whatever you buy, you're getting screwed out of something.

Lucky bastard ;D (your avatar makes sense now too)


If someone can find a way to make those units available in game I'll make sweet, sweet love to them. Or thank them gratuitously. Whichever you want. Until then I'm gonna hit the sack.

It's on the previous page as well but http://store.steampowered.com/app/34030/

EDIT: That v.12 pack viewer worked, replicated the unit unlock hack though I'm unsure if it'll work with much depending on what's actually included in the game.
(There's quite a few DLC listed already, although not on the Steam store yet aside from the Elite pack and Gray Scotts.)
