Tim: do Austrian line units have 100 men in them, while your's only have 80?

Here:  http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=235729

The numbers are on "large" unit size settings.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Thanks. I hoped that it wasn't just me going crazy.  :)
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

Légion étrangère--Foreign legion.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

My saved game folder is up to 4 GB.  :o

Looks like each file is about ~50 MB.

How do you find that? I'm looking in the Empire Total War folder and I don't see it. What's its name?

It's hidden for some unknown reason.

C:\Users\Your login name\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Empire\save_games

I use Vista, so I'm not sure if the file tree is the same for XP.

Like Fate says, it is hidden. As part of Games for Windows (and ebcause the Program Files directory is access controlled) all save games have to go to your user data folder. For some reason they are hidden.

6 Russian Ships of the Line, vs a Moroccan frigate, bomb ketch and a batch of  4 gun galleys. First galley fires on a 74 guns SOL, Ship of the Line explodes. I figure I'll practice the naval portion of the game.

Me= Quit game, reload.

It is every damn battle with me. Land battles, I kick ass. Naval battles and my ships explode, take each other out, ram each other, catch fire and surrender to galleys.

The biggest problem with this faith-based auto-update is there is no way to tell if the game is already updated or not. 

With your "My Games" window open, highlight ETW, then click on Properties down in the kinda bottom right.  On the updates tab, there's a link for "view update history."  This latest one came out on the 10th, and has like 6 bullet points.

This is the only way to check to see if it updated that I've figured out so far.  This is my only Steam game though, so maybe someone who uses it more knows of a less clicky way.
