Well, if it's the same as in previous TW games, particularly the first Rome, I understand that if you play on hardest difficulty the AI aggresively flanks you when you're entering their cities or climbing their walls, which supposedly it doesn't on normal or easy. I don't think it's too much more than that though. And I understand AI in battles has never been impressive in TW games.

Yeah the TW series has always had kind of crappy AI. Rarely do they surprise you in battle. But that is okay because the world map strategy game part of it is my favorite part and the battles look cool even if they aren't exceptionally challenging. It still makes for a fun game.
Plus I will often just do the auto-battle thing...I usually only play the real huge or important battles that contain cool units and mostly just because it is fun to watch.

Reviews are pretty much what I expected
- Poor AI (to be expected for a TW type game)
- Overwhelming for newbs
- Too complex for newbs

I don't remember Shogun 2 reviews to really hang up on these notes. |

To be Fair shogun2 was possibly the most simplistic and smallest of the TW games

 Wot? The introduction of "real" ressources, research and char development were one of the greatest innovation in the series IMHO. Or what exactly did you mean with "small"? |
Perhaps he means in terrain size? I am not sure. I wouldn't say it was small, especially with the additions of Fall. Napoleon was much "smaller". |

They forgot to block beta access so there's two options there, "ceg_test" and "day1" though since the preload updated yesterday the update should already be part of the game.

Looks like the game is around ~20 GB when unpacked according to Steam, it hasn't quite finished decrypting so I can't check but that's what it reports.

Yeah I use this -> http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/19461-Windows-Hotfix-repository/page831?p=786956&viewfull=1#post786956
It uninstalls all existing ones and keeps the latest version, updated regularly too. 
(Unpack with Winrar or something and run x64.bat)
For Steam I delete the redist folder before starting the game, I also use steam_appid.txt so I can start the exe directly. |
No because there are differences in API and if a software uses a specific version, it will break if the API it expects is missing. Worse, some software check DLL for specific versions, and gives up if specific DLL is not found. Microsoft |

I believe its the same as COD 2 one no?
If it is then yeah StarForce (ActControl) in additional for sure.
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D / MSI Gaming X Slim GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER / ASRock B650 PRO RS / Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360 / G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo 2x16GB DDR5-6000 CL30 / Samsung 980 Pro 2 TB / SeaSonic VERTEX GX-850 850W Gold / Lian Li LANCOOL 216

The newer versions of Visual C++ covers the older versions so they are not needed what so ever, if you used a older version with something needing a newer one you would get a "side-by-side" error message pop up however.
(You do of course need 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012 and eventually 2013 in both x86 and x64 but you do not need different versions of them together, only the latest of each.)
EDIT: Oh right, with the WxS folder structure there's of course no harm in having multiple versions installed, it just clutters things a bit but you don't get any problems or such.
