    After I see what the BAI changes are, frankly that's all I will be buying it for. If it doesn't translate to the ETW style campaign, I won't purchase it at all. I couldn't care less about Napoleon or some kind of story driven campaign.
    And when the brazen cry of achilles
    Was heard among the trojans, all their hearts
    Were troubled, and the full-maned horses whirled
    The chariots backward, knowing griefs at hand...

    I said after the first few patches, but on second thought, I'm waiting for mod tools. If those come out, everything will be hunky-dory in my book.
    "You must know, then, that there are two methods of fight, the one by law, the other by force: the first method is that of men, the second of beasts; but as the first method is often insufficient, one must have recourse to the second. It is therefore necessary for a prince to know well how to use both the beast and the man.

    I can't vote :(

    I would wait until I have read enough reviews and if they are negative ones then I will wait until the next patch and hope that resolves most of the major issues.

    Well, I guess I may preorder it. Someone has to write a review so everyone else knows how it is...

    That is if I can manage.

    Otherwise, I would be seeing what the rest of you think of it.

    The Amazon reviews for ETW look like someone did a hit. I don’t think they can be trusted.

    Preorder here! From amazon.de. I trust CA, they will make the greatest strat game ever! With all better AI, stunning graphics and replayability until 2012 (when the world we know will perish)! Believe them, they never lied to us!

    And i will support Fisherking at the review with screens and tons of rabbit pics.

    Seriously, i did the preorder. Cause i like the period, like the idea of a "story telling strategy game". Even if i know how it ends ... but there will be the "grand campaign", and the better AI, the stunning ...

    Pre Order. Imperial Edition. Will wait to play until the final patch is released.

    I started collecting TW games.

    I've decided (like someone trying to make a deal with God) that if CA fixes MTW to work with modern nVidia graphics cards I'll preorder NTW (the most expensivest edition, whatever it may be).

    ETW was unstable for me, so won't be buying it...
