dear sir ,

I would like to know if the netherlands (republic of the seven provinces ) will become a playble option in the new game
also i would like to know if the spanish and austrians wil do so.

since all three where at least at one time "important" players during the period between 1568 and 1800 .

Yes, it would be pretty cool if you could damage other faction's ports on the battlefield! Some people think that the port looks ugly but it think they were just expecting something more complex. This port is pretty simple and I think that it's just because it's the first building in the line of possible upgrades i.e. It can be upgraded to a shipyard, etc.

would be nice if you could have battles in the ports : ) like in a town but since its by the waterline it would be also cool if you could attack the port from the sea with ships and do it like d-day but that would probably not work... : / would be fun though. maybe you could at least bomb the port with cannons from ships

Lets stay positive people - if the graphics aren't good maybe it means CA weren't spending their time working on eye candy. . .

Thanks for the info ca

There were actually two large map threads but they will both be long buried by now, see if you can find them using the search function Saspi

Edit: @ElusiveHonor -just noticed your edit

Nooo not the map again we already had this discussion. If I remember correctly the map thread started with it being universally hated by almost everyone but me and then someone posted screenshots of the RTW, MIITW and ETW maps next to each other and ended up with the new map being universally loved by almost everyone when they realised just how much better it really did look.

@Joker,

Eh, to each his own I guess. If its important to you, and they don't change it, I do hope you'll decide to focus efforts on a mod.

To me, besides some minor graphical changes (i.e- making the building "fit" on the campaign map), the building is actually quite a nice addition to the map.

Also, I think you guys should take a...

I agree with Holy Roman, MII TW have more appealing grephics in campaign map but i think its because in empire all buildings and upgrades will be visible may be that's why they can't make it better...

No way the campaign map looks better in Med2 than in Empire! It looks 10 times better in Empire imo.

Most likely the reason people are disappointed in the buildings (myself included) is that the Real time battles are so detailed and beautiful, but the campaign map looks EVEN WORSE than Medieval 2 total wars map. Although its bigger, it seems that the buildings have poorer graphics. If you compare the port of ETW to a port or shipwright in Medieval 2, or even Rome's port, ETW is by far the least detailed. I can see why, because of the beauty of the ships, land battles, and movies, that...

Yeah, isnt that just the UI card for the Trading port? Then it will probably look much different in the campaign map.

Thats the unit card? Looks worse than RTW but hey, beggars cant be choosers.

For me too, it is fine and simple UI card for a port. I don't see any problems.

The image of the building looks fine...it's simply the UI card, for crying out loud folks. Stop being needlessly picky.
