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.

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.
I would also be impressed if I just started to play ETW just now but with all the former versions of it under their belt most 'veterans' are a bit jaded. I'm still playing it though and I'm still enjoying it immensely.
