So how is it?

Im debating with myself this game after how much I hated ETW, and have no idea if I should get it. So I'll ask. Is it good? Is it just as lousy as ETW? Should I buy it?

It's like ETW without most of the suck.

Its a pretty awesome game. You'll think its leagues beyond ETW.

Its bloody brilliant! Its exactly what Empire should have been. It has a few little issues but what doesn't?

Buy it, you won't be disappointed. I assure you, and I think your poll says it all.

Erm, if your expecting a huge improvement on empire then u will be dissappointed but its a better game overall. Expect to be stifled by a lack of gameplay options though compared to other TW titles.

Stifled how? The map is bigger strategically, there are over 200 turns, there are mods to play as most factions and it is a huge improvement over ETW.

It is a huge improvement over ETW, much more playable and quite fun. However it still isn't perfect and does have its faults.
It really depends exactly what you hated about ETW as to whether NTW is worth getting

By god yes get it!

Vanilla NTW is better than ETW but it's still not very good. However there are mods appearing that improve it. I can't see much replay value and I'll go back to ETW darthmod after a few campaigns.
