What state is the game at?

Thanks for the replies guys.

So, in effect- a game that was released in late 2006 still has fundemental flaws in it such as pikes not working properly!????!...and for all intents and purposes is still pretty bug-ridden...

Just to confirm- I am correct in saying that 1.2 is in fact the latest patch for vanilla MTW2?

Is vanilla MTW2 not likely to recieve any more patches, ie- only Kingdoms is 'supported' now?


Seriously CA...wow. Is CA in reality one lonely guy in an office somewhere? If it were I could perhaps understand such shoddy and slow game production. What possible justification is there for such lacklustre product support? Are you guys really that busy?

Well, there is a 1.3 patch for vanilla MTW2, but it does nothing but make the game compatible for MP with Kingdoms users.

The newest patch is for kingdoms only, yes.

The pike bug is fixable by modding as most, if not all, mods remove the pikes secondary weapon which arguably makes pikes too powerful. But my worst peeve is having to move units out and back into a settlement to get the retraining to take and if you forget to do so you waste more money and then the fact that some guilds don't give the initial bonuses they are supposed to give.
