How many people are still playing?

One month vacation for me and I'm playing ETW like crazy. Started an unmodded, fresh, 1.5 campaign with Prussia on normal/normal to see how I can create the German Empire and so far I'm enjoying it... :)

So, anyone still playing ardently despite NTW out and running?
I prefer the variety of ETW though.

I miss the scope of ETW but at the moment I am still working through NTW.

It is not to say that I won't pick it up again; I still have it installed, but there is a lot to like about NTW even without the extra theaters.

NTW's map is pretty much the MTW/RTW/MIITW one without N.Africa... So I think people are just spoiled with the size of ETW's map :-p. Its plenty enough though the faction count is a little low.

I'll probably will start playing again once patch 1.6 is out.

I started a Prussian campaign a few days ago.

15 turns in with 8 or 9 regions but I’m hotly pressed by the Austrians, Poles and Russians.

Squares have been my salvation as I have seen a lot of enemy light cavalry.

After a long break, I fired up a GB campaign last night. The BAI does behave differently now. At times, it can even keep a line...
It seems, interceptions have been retweaked now too. I was intercepted by the AI and, on battle open, I found myself in column formation thrown directly into the combat with no time to arrange troops, almost like an ambush situation. I think, it makes it much more realistic.

Having just received the game yesterday, I must say I am totally impressed. Graphics stunning, gameplay (so far, started RTI and am at the French and Indian War) absolutely amazing. Think I'm gonna hold off getting NTW for awhile.

Not buying NTW -may do when it hits the bargain-bin - not too sure yet.

Still playing ETW - just getting to the end of a N/N Prussian campaign myself - 1796 and mopping up the last Maratha provinces (taken almost all India, 'Liberated Portugal, Persia, Jamaica etc) - those Maratha's really do get around

What's 1.6 rumored to contain?

**Fisherking** · 03-15-2010, 07:51

Ah! Rumors and speculation!

Let see;
Rumor #1 a BAI fix,
Rumor #2 drop-in battles,
Rumor #3 the Holodeck from the Starship Enterprise.

(be advised, some people will still complain that the BAI is no good unless they wake up in the recovery room of a local hospital with a bayonet wound in their guts.)

I'm going with that one.

I found DarthMod and enjoy it. However my Empire experience left a pretty bad taste in my mouth, and I'm not really interested in NTW so I passed on it.

Still find the mid to late game pretty dull regardless.

I don't mean to imply that I won't purchase another CA title in the future, but yeah I'm done with the hype around these releases.
