next patch update...

i. The next patch is coming shortly, this will fix a number of critical code issues.

ii. Following the next patch a massive gameplay update is being prepared which will address: balancing, naval units, AI behaviour and other issues.

iii. This cycle of 'fix-upgrade' will then continue.

I must say that I am impressed both by the promised level of support and the approach.

I think we all can agree that the game was released prematurely. But...CA is committed to fixing the issues and making this one a classic.

Looking forward to these updates.

Oh - and here is one annoyance that is going away soon.

Are you guys going to fix the bug with User Interface options settings never persisting at all between battles? (floating flags over units to 'never' or 'mouse over' and uncheck selection, paths, etc.) When I do switch them, on the next battle I have to switch them back and accept before I can switch them again to the setting I want and I have to do that each battle.

Yes this one is fixed in the large patch

So basically, after the next two patches ETW should be one great game if they manage to deliver on their promises.

The approach is excellent and the fact that they have enough resources to correct game code issues AND a second team to handle game play issues is impressive.

That requires a lot of resources.

That by itself should not be overlooked by the doubters amongst us who question CA's intent.

It's certainly there.
