I know alot of guys are excited about the new patches and DLC, and are getting back into the game.

I thought about playing again and then realized I couldnt be bothered starting another long tedious campaign that I would get bored of and not finished.

Im bored with empires

Im bored with fighting 1000's of battles that have little or no context

Im bored with the predictable moves of my AI opponent

Im bored with the sameness and clonelike armies of all the nations - playing one nation feels the same as playing any other.

What about you - is your interest in playing ETW reinvigorated or are the patches etc too little too late and trying to play ETW is like flogging a dead horse?
