My thoughts and questions.

Finally my copy of Rome Total War came to me. My precious has finally arrived. As I tried to descripe my feeling about it I said to my friend who is obsessed with cars like I'm with RTW. I said to him:"This is like you would buy a new BMW X5 for 25 pounds" After that he didn't say a word after he called me a nerd ~D

I've destroyed the Macedonians and the Greek City States. After a talk with my real family members I agreed to have a dinner away from the computer. Soon after I returned to continue the massacre :charge: While I was loading the saved game it crashed and I tried few time more and it always crashed. A cry of horror and anger came out of my room. I'm now playing as Julii hoping for a patch to fix that bug so I can keep slaughtering those who are in my way to glory. :duel:

Over all this game looks amazing. My questions are 2.
1. When is there a real patch going to come out?
2. How do I turn the battletimer off?
