They made me buy 'Napoleon' with a spromise of an awsome horse unit :(

After reading about how kool the extra horse unit will be , I will have to admit, I hastely rushed to to the Steam and pre-bought the darn game. I hardly belive I am unique in this position and wonder how many of the critics will quietly shell-out the money for the paid patch. Rule of the economics is to chage as much as the market is willing to bare. If people buy their games- rip-off after rip-off, they will just keep making them. If people don't, then it's the end of total was series. In any case, fans loose.

Man, that is one interesting post. You are an enigma wrapped in a mystery, shrouded in something shroud-like.

You present as a dilemma something which isn't. You appear to be well aware of the situation and the potential downsides. If you like it, buy it. If you don't enjoy Total War, then you shouldn't lament its demise. If you are worried that the product won't meet your standards, don't buy a pre-release copy for a single unit.

There is no angst here.

No one MADE you buy the game. CA didn't hold you at gunpoint and told you to order it off steam now! So its your own fault for being so gullible.

You were fooled by the kool horse unit.

Lesson learned: beware of horses bearing gifts.

So you read a description of ONE unit, and you immediatly bought it?

Do you mean "Rambo" one?

Impulse purchases is caused by the costumer, if you feel the desire to quickly buy something after seeing a flashy advertisement, you may be suffering from impulse purchases.

There is no cure. (except going completely bankrupt)

I just have this picture of Sonic smashing your head into a mirror repeatedly, while Kieran laughs and repeats "Buy ze game and zis vill all stop!"

CA going for the "full monty"?

Fortunately I know CA enough to don't trust, I'll wait to buy NTW only if they will release tools for modders and a new patch for Empire.

you are aware that you can cancel pre-orders on steam right?

Never knew that, care to explain?
Just wondering out of curiosity.

you preordered to get a reskinned horse unit with the same stats?

You pre-ordered a game for one unit, and want to semi-lament it?

Yeah...

By the way, I've got a bridge to sell if your interested. I've got one picture I hope you like!

I just wish more of you people would have some BACKBONE. This is why CA ignores those of us who try to get them to fix the REAL problems and listen only to people like you who are so easily moved by pretty uniforms or nice animations.

Truly, those of us who are strong stand alone.

And, by the way, you were not forced. After Empire, everyone should be able to resist if they don`t really want to purchase.

fans lose only because of impulse buyers like yourself which consist of a large portion of ca fans, and probably any consumer base.

but yes, fans do lose.
