My goodness, I hope that wasn't a question! http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/wink.gif
Well, I find myself playing STW instead of MI all the time. It must be the tension that I lack in MI. It is all so straight forward. I remember my military training, the principle was that no matter how good a plan is, it will never survive contact with the enemy. In STW that holds true, in MI, well....

I no longer have STW,but I do miss it.
If I were to explain the difference,STW had a certain character to it,MI seems nothing more than a bar room brawl.Although some of the added features in MI are better ,like being able to train and top up your units.
Waiting for the patch.

yes, the MI units are probably best suited for multiplayer at this moment. I find myself playing the shogun campain timelines and special campaigns over the MI.

Are we comparing STW with STWMI here? Or are we comparing the Sengoku Jidai campaign (7 clans fighting for the shogunate) and the Mongol Invasion campaign?

Well I have STWMI (or rather, STWWE) and have been playing it a lot, having left STW behind. But I am having more fun playing the Sengoku Jidai campaigns (1500s) than the MI campaign (1274) indeed. I find that with the additional scenarios (1530, 1550, 1580) plus the additional units (Kensai, Battlefield Ninja) and the lower construction cost + shorter construction time, the Sengoku Jidai campaigns in STWWE is much more fun.

The morale problem which people are mentioning is mainly for online play and custom battles. Single Player is not affected.

WE definitely is better than STW. Port attacks, new units, ++political features.... I gave my old STW to a friend.

Like Soly, i find myself mostly playing the sengoku jidai SP campaigns. I feel that it is the best part of the game by far.

Playing STW only.

Mongol Invasion.. been there , done that , don't like it , it is nothing like the old STW , the morale has been effectively canceled , for me ruining all the fun the game has to offer , it slides to the levels of click-and-rush games , thus i stick with the (IMO) tacticaly more challenging STW. Granted , MI single player campaigns (mongol invasion excluded) are far superior to the one found in STW. but for me , that doesn't justify getting the game myself as MP beats SP hands down. And MI lacks in that department.
