Will the multiplayer be restricted to Linux vs Linux forever, or is that just now on release?

Good Question

I'm not even a strategy fan, but I'm so excited. I have fond memories of the original Shogun: Total War. My money has been flung. =)

Played through a tutorial, seems to be running great! (Nvidia blob)

Thanks! Are you going to port any other Total War games to Linux as well?

[76561198140997333]

Thanks for the question Kony, right now we're focused on making sure everyone is successfully enjoying Empire. :-)

As for the future Feral's magic eight ball tells me I should ask again later...

What about AMD GPU? In steam story i see is "AMD 6000 series+", so HD 5000 gen is unsupported? I have HD 5850 and in laptop 5650 so i can't play?

Great news! Can we expect other Total War games to be ported in the future?

[76561198140997333]

You might be able to play Damon, however it means we have not tested your specific hardware so it is not officially supported.

Working great so far. Big thanks for that! :)

Is it normal that the font is very small and hard to read?

[76561198140997333]

The font is the same as other platforms, dropping the resolution if you are running super high might help you. There are also a few mods that can bump up the font size with only a few side effects.

I'm on 1366x768 so not super high resolution. I'll try those mods then. Thank you for your answer. You did a great job porting that gem! :)
