The Daily Update at the Com

We've also corrected the bug whereby reinforcements entered the battlefield from the wrong direction.

If that is for real, then fighting manual battles with multiple stacks will be fun again!

With Steam, you don't have to ask that question.

Awesome . . . now if they would just let us bring multiple stacks on the field at the same time, again, as in M2TW.

April 20th

Today we're putting the latest build of the gameplay upgrade patch through internal testing having gotten feedback from the beta group. The mod issue has been fixed, as have a raft of other bugs over the weekend.
We don't want to give a specific date for fear of getting hopes up unnecissarily but the gamplay upgrade patch is almost ready to go, so you should all receive it shortly.

Loading battles from a savegame have been fixed and we're doing another build now to see what there is left on the chcecklist for this upgrade.
As a note, please do remember that this is only our first planned upgrade, more will follow.

Thank you all for your continued support and patience.

Kind regards,
Kieran

I'm really interested in seeing the patch notes for this patch.
By the sound of things it seems like they fixed alot of bugs(hopefully).

I have to say that, while I'd love it if I had clear info on whether the cursed unit (my name for it) bug is fixed and a fixed release date, I still find comfort in these daily updates.

It's odd for me to say, but I almost don't even remember M2TW. I remember playing it for a while, being bummed that England's billmen couldn't take cavalry anymore, and getting a bit tired with castle vs. city decisions, I just stopped playing. I can't even remember when I stopped playing, so I don't think I ever got mad at what I understand was very poor post-release support on CA's side.

What CA is doing with ETW does seem to be markedly different though. While we can all bemoan the fact that the game had any bugs on release, my heart is lightened by what appears to be significant dedication to post-release support. We'll see how useful it is once the patches come out and we know for sure if bugs have been squashed and if any new issues have been introduced by the patches, but I'm still okay giving CA the benefit of the doubt for now.

I've been a total war series hardcore fan since the days of Shogun and my inability to run Empire without crashing has left a bitter taste in my mouth. My interest in getting this patch is more an obsession with just being able to run Empire without a consistent crash. Once that is done, this game is likely going to find itself back on the shelf.

This is one fan that has learned his lession and will only buy new CA products when they end up in the bargain bin.
