Where can I get the ETW: Special Edition (special forces) version? anyone have a link to were i can get a box of this? i've looked on amazon but i still can't find it. only at amazon.co.uk ......
As far as I know and from what Ive seen, it appears to be a UK exclusive. Rumor has it that the (pre-ordered) US version will have one special unit, the USS Constitution.
Lastly, the officially confirmed playable factions so far are:
France
Great Brittan
Sweden
Ottoman Empire
Netherlands
<b>Update:</b>
Russia
From the Sega website:
"We can confirm that Empire: Total War's release date has been moved to March 2009.
"The extra development time will allow us to finalise and polish Empire, making it the most accomplished and epic of the Total War series." said Kieran Brigden, Studio Communications Manager at The Creative Assembly. "There is a great deal of anticipation around Empire Total War and we want to ensure that it is the benchmark for strategy games upon its release."
Significantly the additional time will also allow us to implement the underlying technology for a much desired feature (thanks to your feedback!); a multiplayer campaign mode. An opportunity to participate in the 1 versus 1 multiplayer campaign mode beta will be made available to all Empire Total War buyers post release."

Aye; however the total war series (which i found out is actually 2 minutes up the road from me; now THAT was weird. Im actually gonna try to get some work exp there now. Freaky huh?) has always been good at 'masking' specs. Rome TW is the perfect example. I can have over 20000 men battles on my 2ghz machine and it runs flawlessly with almost complete realism on screen. Its mind-blowing what they did with that and that was 2005 so im hoping this will be no different! Though you do have a very worthy point Mr.Boelen! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

What do you mean by "masking"? Making the game do incredible things without requiring a supercomputer?
I played Rome: Total War once for a very short little bit. Was pretty impressive; I wished I would've had more time to play it. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

Though im very much military orientated the diplomacy in it is just so involving! And yes, masking is the process used when 'stripping away the crap' from games which make them run slow for example invisible meshes and unnessesary sound. In other words, its all just one big front. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Yarrr! Matey's downloaded demo via Steam today an played Naval Battle. Kooool Battles, would be much more fun M/P but did kill the French Admiral Flagship with me First Rate. Decisive Victory for my British Fleet. What was really neat, wood splinters flying everywhere, and damage model is sweet showing holes in the ship, she started listing heavily to Starboard and you could see crew running down the deck and jumping in the water to abandon ship. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/buds.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="
