But for the casual SP player it does. Me, I don't care about any multiplayer feature at all; far as I'm concerned CA could axe the whole thing. All I care about are interesting game mechanics, a good AI and some docs so people can mod the game to new heights.

Anyway, is it just me or is the 15th of march a nice play on the popular wish for a new Rome?

Because we can all see how much better the mods are becoming from RTW/M2TW to ETW/NTW.

But it is what I personally, as a casual SP player care about. Since right now neither Empire nor Napoleon offer anything compelling in that regard I do not consider those titles worth buying.
It will not be particularly disastrous to me if Shogun proves to be a poor SP with little replay/modding value: I still have EB 2 to work towards, and AUH to look forward to. (Plus I might give PKH a try because of their awesome castles.)

So with a release date does that mean the AI is perfect already?

Ignoring the sarcasm

, it may be when they think the AI will be perfect according to the plan. However, as I said previously, I hope they have the ability and the courage to move that date if it or other parts of the game aren't.
