    Icon14 E:TW - another long wait for patches, thank god there is XGM

    Do you own E:TW? I don't have much fun playing it. The bugs and the time era. I missed the Greeks after a week of playing E:TW and am SO HAPPY there is XGM! Maybe after all the bugs are removed from E:TW (sure to take a year ) I'll enjoy it more. But most of all I would like SEGA to go back to Greek/Roman times for their next release.

    If the Demo hadn't frozen on loading I might have considered buying it, but so far the feedback has been rather negative and CA released another leaky boat. The oh so hyped 'improved AI' seems to be as retarded as it always has been in the TW series. At least Alex AI isn't that bad..

    It's a (very) rough diamond, potential is there but it will take years for the modders to harness it... For now I'm still waiting for an XGM-style mod for M2:TW.

    I think they took a huge step forward in economics, oversee trading, and research. But the AI is still stupid and bugged. Very fun though.

    ever wonder why Total War players return to XGM after trying the other Total War games?

    I think ETW has huge potential, but CA needs to get some more patches out, stabilize it, and then the modders can go to work.... Its got lots of negative sentiment around it, but I'm buying it anyways.

    Well it's fun to play, but nothing can ever be better then XGM and DTW.

    i wouldnt mind if ETW added in the phalanx feature purely for our sake. playing the hellenistic age ETW would be a killer

    M2TW+k would also be a great modding platform, the potential is all there...

    I also agree with you, Zarax. There are many system which could adopt to XGM if Dime decide to port system there.

    I think They should take more time to develop the game even when they think its finished they still need to test it like play it for hours to check for any problems or anything. Its roughly 2 years after a release but i think they need more time to do it efficiently.

    It's a budget problem, they cannot afford to pay programmers if the cash isn't coming in... and TW is a big project.

    And programmers are greedy bastards too. They get a lot of money for all the sleepless nights.

    If you work overtime every day, you're not greedy for being well payed...

    ETW was fun, but the 18th century is boring, and it still needs fixes.

    Bought ETW and regret it , too many bugs , runs terrible on a half decent PC . Some of the bugs have lost my faith in CA and i won't be blindly buying there next game for sure.

    I mean having the AI unable to make landings from the sea is inexcusable . And thats just one of a thousand bugs .

    I dont see how anyone can look at ETW and see were all the time they spent on it went , all they did was make a new graphics engine and tack a game on .

    Actually making naval landings is hard enough as player.
    Very, very unintuitive and a step backwards from the other titles.
    Gotta wait for the expansion to see things improve i guess.

    Any feedback on the multiplayer aspect? Does it still fail as much as in previous titles?

    Define "fail" ? I havent had any problems yet.

    As far as I've heard, the multiplayer is a downgrade from RTW and M2. Check out this thread, it sounds like CA didn't even try...

    Imho this is a huge departure from the previous battle systems, it will need lots of refining before being truly enjoyable.

    On the other side Darth Vader already released a mod to improve things...
