Re: What's with all the whiners?
I think Beergator has a point. There has been a lot of whining about the game. Some of it justified some, some defo not. All you have to do is look at the opening pages in the Forum and see complaint after complaint.
Beergator was rather witty in his opening para. I would not count this as trolling.
The game as it stands out of the box is an excellent game. None of the bugs are show stoppers. Some of them may be very annoying (group run anybody) but there appear to be ways around all of them The game itself is massive both in scope and the level of detail and is bound to have some teething problems.
By the way I am not acting as an apologists for CA. Sure the game has some bugs, but I think the amount of work that has gone into this stands to the developers very well.
Sure the AI is pretty crappy in certain situations. However looking at one thread (SLYSYP’s one) giving out about the AI not attacking or the computer giving a “doubtful courage” vice to me seems to be a fairly petty complaint.
Sure the AI is predictable, but that is only after you have played it lots of times. Think of the amount of different situation s the game can have. Sieges, Defending, attacking, terrain, moral, HP all these are variables in this excellent game.
I don’t know what MP is like (dying to try it, but alas no broadband). But then the possibilities will be endless in battle.
Anyway having played all the Total War series, I must say that this is by far their best edition yet. All I can say is (to coin a phrase from the Home World boards) WILL GIVE LEFT NUT FOR EXPANSION PACK…………
