    That sums all the mistakes made by CA on Empire Total War

    Personally, i'm surprised CA didn't ditched Rome 2 for something else already... especially considering their behavior with ETW and NTW...

    I certainly think that Napoleon was the better game and I even enjoyed it more. But Napoleon needed a bigger map, not just Europe and the fact that it was just Europe I think really hurt this game. If it had included at least the Mediterranean basin (or even India and the Americas) then this would have probably been considered the best game yet.

    I want NTW map to expand and include the Americas(Google war of 1812 between Britain and US) and to include India just like what ETW map did we can also have this event http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana_Purchase

    Personally I think it is a tie.

    Empire Total War:
    Has a larger campaign scope.
    Has more number of factions.
    Has more variety of units due to more factions.
    Has Trade Theaters that make things interesting.
    Has Religion included.

    Napoleon Total War:
    Smoother Interface.
    Better battle animations and performance.
    Longer years so a nice feel to the seasonal changes like autumn, winter, spring, summer.
    Attrition is nice and makes perfect sense.
    Long building times means longer wait period (disadvantage rather sorry for the mix up)
    Larger Campaign Map. More regions in Europe. Travelling across Europe isn't quick. (prevents Blitzkrieg which is nice).

    That's my thoughts.
    Cheers

    I read precedently AI was better in NTW. I think ETW AI is harsher (or less dumb) :
    I played couple of hours with the Prussians in the Allied Campaign in 5/5 difficulties - French campaign appears to me too much "corridored"
    Most of the battles happen in the same way : I put my artillery in the middle with line/ligh infantries on each side, in a kind of funnel formation.
    IA never attack my artillery and always approaches its infantry very calmly to be at side of schrappnel. What convinient it is, but not very challeging.
    Does exist a mod who takes the best of ETW to put in NTW (and vice versa) ?

    I'm quite ok with the general opinion between both games, like more reactiv engine for NTW or more evolved features in ETW. Why didn't CA make a big fusionned pack of both ?
