Enjoy :)

I'm sure you remember Puzz3D, also known as MizuYuuki. He, CBR, TosaInu and others actually contributed time working with CA about the unit stats for WE. There was a heck of a lot of debate back when people were still playing STW:WE online (2001-2004).The general opinion was that WE was better than the original for multiplayer (almost everyone who played online used WE) . But there was always some debate about the finer details.

But this shouldn't affect single-player campaigns much. IIRC, it did mitigate the problem with many, many stacks of armies building up by late game though.

Well, I guess I need to find a CD played then and find a way to play it, so I can see if the credits list our esteemed Orgahs in there (I hope they do, would be amazing to see their names) :)

Also purchased Rome 2 Total War Collectors Edition, which I never had, I guess eBay is good for finalising my TW collection. Once I get Warlord & Rome 2, I have every historical TW in physical, Collectors Edition format.

And I finally received the package - took about a month from the ol' US of A, but I finally have it. Shogun Total War Warlord Edition, all nice in a big box, all original.

Sealed. Fresh, never opened. Probably going to be breathing some 2001 air if I open it, but no need, I will keep it as a nice memento in my house of the old days of gaming.

Thank you @caravel as well.

Couldn't help myself - I got also a sealed, fresh, original Shogun Total War. It's the US edition box, which is somehow in a way brighter red than the European version which I got back in 2000 (25 years ago...), but it looks very very cool.

Ah, eBay.

Hi caravel. Good to see you. Hope you've been well.

Congrats, edyzmedieval. Hope it runs smoothly and the battles are epic!

Good to see you all.

.
I still have my original STW (big box) and original MI (along with MTW and VI).

You see originals on ebay over here and theyre relatively inexpensive. Compare that to original Doom or Quake for example...
