Worst feature?

Reinforcements has my vote as the worst etw feature. It makes no sense at all. I had an army attack me with 1 unit with the rest of it in support making it a full stack in total. So I deploy my men to face their lone cannon and when the battle starts the entire army comes into the field right on top of me. So the mass melee begins and we both lose roughly all of our men. I no longer felt the urge to play etw for the day.

Anyone want to tell a story about their etw experience?

This is one of the worst bugs, IMO, after no naval invasions by the AI. I was heavily outnumbered deep in enemy territory once, so I setup on a bridge to give me the advantage since I had the elite units. It didn't really matter because in the end, one whole AI stack came at me from behind. Instead of what should have been a force multiplier, it was a force divider.

Aside from the naval AI? The horrible diplomacy between you, your allies and enemies? The quircky placment of renforcments?

I would say the fact that Battles do not happen on the battlemap anywhere near where your characters are on the Campaign map.

Loved the fact in Rome and M2TW where you attacked is where you fourght and bled (p.s. bring back the crossed sword for epic battles)

My vote go to the forts made more or less completely useless. For reasons we all know.

Useless forts
No naval invasions on a map where its NEEDED
Re-enforcement

Take your pick, the yall kill the immersion

I noticed that if I attack with the main army in the middle and reinforcement on the right and left of it then the battle map can be completly different.

It seems that the reinforcement troop are placed at a random position. Patch Needed.
