Did you see the screenshots?

Those graphics are better than Civ5's.

Thank you, we do our best.

Haha well this is sadly true... The graphis look amazing... I know it's probably too early, but what kinda graphics power requirement are we looking at here? Would the new AMD Fusion E350 technology be sufficient (it runs Starcraft 2 etc)? As a general guideline ofcourse. I know final reqs may completely change.

Same computers that run V2 and Divine Wind fine will run this fine.

Interesting - Nobufusa is only Hatamoto, not Daimyo. Unless my understanding of Japanese history is completely off, a Hatamoto was usually a subordinate officer to a Daimyo, right? So, I assume that CK2's multi-level titles will be in? (i.e. Daimyo = Duke, Hatamoto = Count)

(Man, this is getting closer to Sword of the Samurai every minute. Really, really interesting.)

Don't know if there was such a samurai. If he is a generic one then it is great that his name sounds natural to Japanese ear, which was rare in the past Paradox games. In EU2 there was a general called Kagemusha...
I however prefer Chuzenji Nobufusa to Nobufusa of Chuzenji, again this sounds more natural. Also, I am not sure the rank Hatamoto was widely used at that time.

By the way, will there be any foreign samurais? Ones like English Miura Anjin(William Adams), Dutch Ya Yousu(Jan Joosten van Lodensteijn), African Yasuke(ex-Portuguese slave), or maybe a Swedish samurai called Ando Yohan?

IIRC, a Hatamoto is a trusted retainer (samurai/vassal) of a lord. So definitely not a daimyo in itself.

These are alpha screenshots so many things seen here were temporary and has been changed.

Nice. Will you also appy whatever voodo magic you used in Vicky2 1.3beta to significantly increase speed? Or was that just V2 specific work?

Was V2 specific stuff, but alot of knowledge went into it.

Clausewitz looks really outdated.

What part, since the map part of the engine shown in the trailer is new...?
