Although I must confess I removed RTW from my pc quite some time ago, with the intention of coming back to it when the 1.1 patch came out. This was of course asuming that the patch solved all the horrible problems which in my opinion were making the game far from enjoyable. But what CA have done now beggers belief. What however i fear they have done now is paint themselves into a corner, remincent of my mates four year old arguing with his dad the other day who had knocked something over playing in the house. In that they, after claiming that which is obviously (from reading the posts) a major bug is a "feature", cannot back track and say sorry folks we lied without further eroding the crumbling fan base and consumer backing of us the dedicated TW fans. I'm not sure of the solution to this but what really worries me is that if the TW brand is so blackened by this SEGA will choose not to comission any more in the total war series :(
