i didn't like , and it was the only thing i didn't like in stw, was the habit of the factions dying out as the game came to conclusion, ya know finishing the game with only rebels to fight, no grand scheme. other than that i love everything about the game. the ai is intense, i would say the best in the series. mtw hit the ground running and didn't look back, except for missing the throne room and the mini movies and such, but i like the fact that the factions could reappear.
