    Depends what you look for in a game really. My copy came in last monday, I browsed around a bit and started a Chosokabe campaign on hard. Each TW title has room for improvement (played all except ETW, NTW apart from the demo) and being a fossil I might insist the original STW was the best. But I expect TWS2 will force me to revise that POV. The AI has quite a bag of tricks in both the campaign and the battlefield, the auto calc works nicely, it has nice weather effects, the RPG and movies helps you to really get into it, the encyclopedia is nice.

    I'd also say it is worth it, even at steam's full £30. IMHO this is what TW should be like -a near constant balancing act under fluid pressures.
