As per the thread title, I think the one thing letting NTW down is the lack of an epic soundtrack. Most of the music in-game was borrowed from ETW and there is only a few new original pieces.
As I'm sure most of you know, Jeff van Dyck did the soundtracks for Rome Total War and Medieval 2 Total War and did a fantastic job. I don't know if he still works with CA anymore but they need to get him back for the next TW game for sure.
