Very disappointed with the game. And the only reason I bought it was cause some of you were raving about it upon its release!! :mad:

I liked it until the the flaws drove me nuts. Caveat Emptor, Carpe Diem, Ipso facto.

QED.

I want to buy this game, but I fear to do so.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Don't bother. I'm still waiting for a patch/mod that works.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Maybe the new patch makes things better.

You might want to go see one though...

I read this on Wargamer.

QuoteWell, having not bothered with ETW for a while I thought I'd  start up a new campaign now this patch has downloaded itself (one of the things I like about steam) and hearing all this stuff about better AI and all. Playing as Britain the first diplomatic offer I get is from Prussia, offering me a trade agreement along with East Prussia, so long as they get Scotland and Ireland ...
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh Kaaaaaaaaay.

I'm telling you guys, ditch the grand campaign.  The only good TW grand campaign was in Shogun (ironically).

MTW's was actually pretty good, though the focus on CONQUERING EVERYTHING was a little silly.

I'd agree that Shogun was best though. I think it might still be the best TW game, though obviously with modifications I'd take RTW.

Yeah, I'd agree it's the best.  It would RULE if they remade it with modern graphics. :mmm:

I disliked Shogun because I didn't know what any of the provinces were or who the factions were.

Just play the Takeda. They are the cool ones. Takeda Shigen is the coolest of them all.
