Shogun Total War for the win

The last game they did with at least reasonable AI was RTW: Barbarian Invasion. I had high hopes for ETW but since I bought it at launch I have yet to finish my first campaign, in fact I havnt played it for about 6 months. I thought that perhaps the AI would improve over time with patches etc. but if that is going to happen it looks like I`ll have a long wait...

I have gone back to playing Shoggy again and even after all this time it is still an engaging all round experience. I actually lose battles from time to time
