How many people are still playing?

*raises hand*. Can't afford Napoleon just now, and besides I'll let it be modded more thoroughly, for a year or so, before picking it up in the bargain bin. That's the soundest policy when it comes to CA games from Rome onwards, it seems.

Plus, I never really got the time to sink my teeth into Kingdoms at the time, so there's that to consider as well when I'm tired of Empire + DarthMod.

bargain bin for me to with Nappy, I won't buy another totalwar game on release again. Fool me once...

**Fisherking** · 03-29-2010, 22:02

Yep, well the fooled you again!

This one actually worked on release.

CA has written its own Aesop myth.

Gents, don’t look for business as usual with CA.

I have been buying these games for ten years, and Napoleon breaks the mold for many, many, different reasons.

My guess is that you will be seeing this same engine applied to every conflict from the American Civil War, back to the warring kingdoms of ancient China. And every one of them in full working order on release.

CA will be the mod masters, cranking out a full new product (same engine) as fast as they can be produced, and they will all be great!

You don’t have to believe me, just watch

The above sounds good! I'm still playing Empire, currently doing well on my GB campaign. Though the AI does seem alittle weak at times, its still enjoyable. Might even give Napoleon a go when I have more money. I've been playing TW games for years and yes, I do like M2TW! Hopefully they continue to produce more games, though I would like them to me more 'sandboxie' and less like the mission based rigidity of Napoleon (at least in my opinion). Total war is fun, looking forward to continuing my multiple campaings on multiple titles!

I certainly stated some time ago that CA needs to scale back and consolidate for a period of time. As Tomisama just stated, I expect them to do far more defined periods which have more detail to them and allow them to focus on stability, look and game play. N:TW has got me hooked and the game looks amazing. I certainly don't mind the narrower scope as it's been executed very very well.

So to answer the question, no I have not been playing E:TW because N:TW is taking up all my time.

I just reinstalled after hearing v1.6 being out. I hadn't played in a while so thought I'd see what changes there are. No plans to try NTW at this time.
