Turbo,

As I've said before, CA knew about the bugs. It's impossible to work on a project like that and not know about the more obvious ones. The decision on the release timetable was probably arbitrarily made based on financial desires and not at all in the hands of CA.

This second patch is comprehensive. It won't fix everything, but it should fix the major stuff. They will undoubtedly have an expansion pack, which is really just a glorified patch that they charge you for. It's SOP, so we can accept it or not, as best suits us.

There's alot more to RTW than "eye candy". The algorithm of using many factor influenced morale to determine routing conditions is a huge step forward from the "fight until we get X% casualties and then automatically flee" algorithm used in previous games, for example.

I find it completely unfair of you to make judgements against CA BEFORE the freakin patch is even available for evaluation! Can't you wait to complain until you actually have complaint content???
