    Well I cant play it right now because I'm in work atm , but the manual looks nice smile.gif
    Some cool features like : Build a portugese trading post and from then you can buy arquebusiers ... hmmm arquebusiers....
    And if it rains heavily , they cant operate at all , but if its only light rain , their rate of fire and accuracy decreases , how realistic can you get !
    OH and we should definately play SHOGUN at the lan

    omg this is good, this is very very good, definitely has the x4 factor, i thought i'd been playing about an hour tonight, turns out it was four smile.gif

    the campaign game is slow to get going cos money is very tight to start with, stick with it though.

    Ground Control also rocks, got that today too, first RTS that has a drop in multiplayer mode a la Quake - very enjoyable, and quite the looker also.

    Considering how hard normal is, i shudder to think what its like on hard or expert. Its great. I love it when you start a battle, then as soon as you move them into a new formation, the taiko drums start...
    very slick. needs that full install though.

    They're very different games but both good, although I probably prefer shogun........ I'd say I'll prolly get em both when Im up for the LAN
