I just found this when visited on totalwar.com. I hope this hasn't been posted before.

What a funny people. After reading that i think i bought different game then they talking about. This is really sad. Headkick to all of them...........

It is interesting that it reads like it is prior to release...

I know the top line states "now that ETW is flying off the shelves", however in the text someone states "It’s not everyone cup of tea but the demo seems to have gone down really well in the community" referring to Naval battles.

The language implies that the dev is question is either unaware of the feedback or that this was done some time ago...

I can even picture it done as an email around the office. Everyone answer these five questions and we will pick the best answers for the blog...

Hmm played it to death myself, about 88 turns with the a lot of minor strokes on the way.

Dead as a doorknob now and waiting for resurrection day.

Its a great find, +rep well deserved, although i had hoped it would be abou the patch delay and whatnot.

And at the end of the Q&A it seems CA states they left factions and parts of the world map out specifically so we could mod them in.

That just seems like really lazy programming:

"We dont have to put this in the game, our customers will do that work for us"

That sounds lame, anyway

Cheers,

same here, for second i though it was released march 4th or at lest in that time frame... march 24th and they sound like there is nothing wrong with it at all.

I was hoping a mention of the patch or what not...

Looked like a company Q & A to me.

Lol I rly like the sentence: "We dont have to put this in the game, our customers will do that work for us"

Ah, so I at least know now the name of that guy who is responsible for the bad bug checking. James, I'll follow you into your dreams!

"Your comment is awaiting Moderation." Yeah, I'm sure they'd moderate my comment before they ever let it on that house organ

So did anyone else comment? I don't see any comments posted yet. I'm sure there will be some positive, happy-go-lucky ones added eventually, I suppose.
