The following is a letter sent this evening to CA regarding a possible patch for MTW/VI. I have looked for information stating yes or no to a possible patch in the future but haven't found any. Maybe someone here knows and can post some info.
I fully expect no reply to my questions but if one doesn't ask one will never know. However, if each of you who has the same question also sends a well constructed e-mail to CA at info@creative-assembly.co.uk at some point some response will be given and I encourage you to do so. If you wish to refer to my letter (sort of like a vitual petition) feel free to append it intact to your e-mail.
I will follow up this thread with any information I recieve.

Hello,
First let me say ‘thank you’ for the TW series of games thus far. They have been generally well thought out and we all look forward to the new things planned for RTW. I myself have supported and played STW since its release and both it and MTW along with their expansion packs are among the few games I have purchased at full price without waiting for them to be sold at a discount a few months after release.
However no game is without flaws and MTW is not an exception to this. As you are aware there have been some ‘issues’ that have been raised with the latest expansion pack. Most notably the ‘King dies at 56’ and not being able to play new factions in custom or campaign battles. In the campaign it appears that battles must be auto-calculated to prevent a crash to desktop. There have of course been other complaints (i.e. Spies and Assassins) but these two seem the most prevalent.
Of course there will always be people who complain with a product no matter how good it is and also some point at which maintenance on any project must give way to new products. My question (and I believe I speak for many TW enthusiasts) is whether or not there is a patch planned for MTW/VI in the future? Many have also raised concerns that fixes will be bundled up with a forthcoming ‘Warlord edition’ which bundles MTW and VI and was released for STW forcing those who currently own both MTW and VI to purchase yet another edition. I am not asking for a date or specifics as to what may or may not be addressed in a possible future patch, but there are many of us who would like to know if this is it for MTW support in light of the development underway for RTW.
I eagerly await your response. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
(name withheld in this post)
