Worth getting now?

I got a native American turn ctd, so having games just frozen pretty much sucks greatly.

I would at least wait a few more weeks for the next patch. then check these forums to see how it is performing in terms of both stability and AI. If the reviews are generally good, give it a go.

given the info coming out of CA it is possible that Napoleon will be completely separate from ETW. In addition, given their stated plans to continue to support ETW and add downloadable content I am not sure it will be discounted quickly. A bundle will probably not come out until at least 6 months after NTW launches.

Its also worth noting that with the NTW launch, ETW will probably be considered a pointless purchase by most wargamers, so the price of ETW is likely to drop rapidly. In fact, if you hang on long enough you will probably be able to pick up ETW and NTW as a combined set for the price you would pay for ETW now.

So, if I was in your position I'd hang onto my money a bit longer, or actually purchase one of the Excellent MTW2+Kingdoms sets instead to keep me going.

Well there are some mods that fix ETW and when more tools come out more bugs can be fixed.
