This may be unethical buuut....

I would pay a dlc fee for them to retro fit empire with NTW even though it was promised. While I am not made of money, make it cost 10-20 bucks and I'm in. And yes I am fully aware that Empire was the biggest stinikest piece of that could be thrown upon us. with things like DMUC and a retro fit it would be spectacular.

I'm not sure I'd pay for that. I'd pay for them to totally redo Empire's campaign maps with the level of detail seen in NTW, though.

they released a very unpolished & unfinished product, we bought it.
they released a better version of that product as a stand alone game instead of an expansion, we still bought it.
and now we're offering to spend more money on a facelift of the original product when it was supposed to be released like that in the first place.


my god, consumers are naive.

(or rather.. the TW community)

To be honest as bad as it may seem I would pay too to have Empire up to par with Napoleon. It aggravates the hell out of me that it is this way....but damn I want a GC like in ETW with the play pretties of NTW

Yeah, that would be me.

I am hooked on TW games since RTW, but despite my faults (and CA's,) never once have did I feel I didn't get my money's worth from any of their offerings, ETW included. At the end of the day I know I will get in excess of a 100 hours with NTW for the price of a couple movies. A few bucks for quality DLC? Hard for me to say no. I have no skin in the game beyond a desire for cheap entertainment.

It would be unethical as hell but most of us probably couldn't resist anyway.

Total War is my crack.

Indeed, I think many, myself included, would be very tempted by the idea. I would pay even more if they released proper modding tools, though. Not because I myself would use them, seeing as I am no modder, but simply to support the modders, who have created many extremely good mods, some even outshining the original game.

Hang on... they let Empire lie in it's early grave, wich will happen anyway. But .../drumroll, they announce: Empire: Total War II

How's that for a proper nightmare

Yup, would be happy to pay good money for this.

' totally redo Empire's campaign maps with the level of detail seen in NTW, though'

Yup, has to be up to the same standard.

(option of 3 month turns also please for all the seasons)

Even buying Napoleon feels like feeding cash to scammers after I bought Empire, I'd still buy a DLC for a grand campaign in Napoleon. As much as I hate CA releasing unfinished products and blowing me off cash I can't resist it. I'm addicted.

Same. I would pay good money for a perfect ETW..... or a NTW with an ETW map
