I am very excited about ETW. I love the era and the opportunity to finally play out tactical sea battles within the context of an empire building game.

However... based on the condition of RTW and MTW2 when they were released, especially with respect to the incredibly mediocre AI, I am definitely going to sit on the fence for a loooong time until ETW is patched and modded to acceptable levels.

I'm still hoping it's the greatest thing since sliced bread...
