Not a big RTS guy. TBS is where it's at.

The Empire total war site has the specs there, they are not too bad

I am incredibly excited about it, but the delay has hit my excitement. I for one want to see the trading aspects increased, and now I can play as Great Britain!!!!!

Just out of interest, how many people here just get the computer to play the battles in the main campaign instead of fighting them themselves, I just can't be bothered

I do computers battle where it's pointless to play normaly (like bunch of my elite army vs peasants). And I can't wait for this game.

But you can't be suprised it lacks hype here this site is mostly US and US= consoles+fpses

Because of that sexy tuft of hair on the small of my back.

At the beginning of the campaign I play almost all the battles myself, and then gradually I let the computer play the smallest and less significant battles. After many hours of gameplay, when I usually got like 25-30 cities, I only play 15-20% of the battles (the biggest ones, and those which I'm not sure the computer would win).

I'm keeping an eye on it, but after Medieval II I'm definitely going to wait a few months (and a few patches) before deciding to jump in. The game-breaking bugs, incredibly retarded (and cheap) AI, units that didn't fight, highly unbalanced nations, half-assed features...I was so looking forward to it, and left incredibly disappointed.

TBS is awesome, but so is RTS.  Besides the point that you can pause Medieval II: Total War (at least in single player) so I suspect you can do the same in Empire: Total War.  Gives you time to plan your strategy.

I'm afraid my computer just won't be able to play it.  It just looks so pretty.
