    Don't get your hopes up for Napoleon as I feel it is going to be much of the same stuff as Empire. I have a feeling it will be Empire with slightly better effects and a little less bugs. The things they brag about don't seem like much incentive. "Ships will have the ability to repair themselves at sea". I have heard this one so much that I think maybe they will put it on the box. "Drop in battles for the campaign mode" tells me the bai is much the same as Empire and this is the solution. How many people do you think are actually gonna want to get online only to fight a battle with you where they are outnumbered and playing a faction they do not care to play. Even though I have my doubts, I will probably end up buying Napoleon. I just hope that there is more mp maps to play on and that units will fire before every unit gets into formation. There is nothing worse than watching my skirmishers facing the firing squad of the enemy and not returning fire because they are reorganizing their lines. I don't expect much from this game and I'm a little upset at paying full price for beta Napoleon (Empire). Oh well!

    I agree with you on the whole drop in battle idea, I mean maybe if you were given a certain amount of money and could choose the makeup of the AI army
    In the garb of old Gaul, with the fire of old Rome,
    From the heath-covered mountains of Scotia we come;
    Our loud-sounding pipe breathes the true martial strain,
    And our hearts still the old Scottish valour retain.

    because it goes against the whole point of doing a drop in battle vs. a normal mp battle

    Well without the bugs Empire total war would have been a fantastic game so if NTW fixes a lot of the problems then it should be worth my time

    I think they made it so you won't drop in as a single militia unit vs a whole SP stack, but when both armies are more or less equal or at least quite numerous, the option will appear.

    i think Ryangreenleaf probably right i mean has ca even fixed the melle bug yet

    but ill buy ntw for the campaign (bored with etw)
    how to fit in on twc:
    1. constantly complain about etw, 2.talk about the good ol days of m2tw, 3.constantly complain about etw, 4.complain about too few buttons on soldiers in Ntw screenshots, 5.constantly complain about etw, 6.use wikipedia to find historical inaccuracies then pretend you have a degree in history, 7.use wikipedia to debate unquantifiable things such as "who was better saracens or aztecs, napoleon or alexander", 8.post so many times in a thread that it eventually becomes either offtopic or so intricate nobody understands, 9. alway remember that sega and CA are evil, corrupt, idiotic, greedy, whiney, corporations and they used to be kind, pure, intelligent, hardworking people who loved their fans.

    Agree with you. I have ordered ETW 2 months before the release. For NTW i will wait a few weeks while reading impressions of people who buy it on this forum.
    Try the Napoleonic Mod for ETW

    You're not alone.
    The extra development time will allow us to finalize and polish Empire, making it the most accomplished and epic of the Total War series." said Kieran Brigden, Studio Communications Manager at The Creative Assembly. "There is a great deal of anticipation around Empire: Total War and we want to ensure that it is the benchmark for strategy games upon its release.

    I believe I've seen not competely formed units fire in videos, and there are alot of new MP maps that are fair instead of giving a giant hill to one side. That should give you some hope! That being said, BAI will suck. BAI for all rts games will suck for at least 10 years. CA can't really change that... Deal with it and use drop-in battles, which should keep the battles fresh and more unique than AI ever can.

    Since ETW, I have learned never to get my hopes up with CA\SEGA. NTW was and is just ETW 2.0, what all purchasers of ETW should have had.

    This is really off-topic, but why exactly is steam ethically wrong? And when will you ever find a better way to say this?
