Last night I tried to pick up my game again - 2 turns - 2 more nations on the 'at war list'

meh tell em to take a number and get in line

I didnt click a third turn

nothing wrong with this game? then why arnt I playing it

And with Anno 1404 (dawn of discovery), HOI3 on the horizon

TOO SLOW!! CA
I'm exactly the same. After 1.3 came out, the frustration I had with ETW just made me give up entirely with the game. I tried reloading a new campaign last week after work, and almost instantly I was at war with half the world. I was clicking "quit" shortly after.

Empire (and MTW 2 to some extent) just lack something that Shoggie, MTW 1, and Rome had. The latter 3 gave me thousands of playing hours, replayability, role playing, and satisfaction. ETW, and MTW2 have been incredible disappointments for me and I will have to consider any future purchases in the total war series very seriously.
