    Without a doubt yes! Sure there are some bugs but it's really good and the mods are good and after Blue Lotus and Europa Barbarorum come out the game will be about 50 times better.

    due to the save/load "issue", if you can afford to spend consistent 1-2 hour sessions and commit to playing consecutive turns without ever saving and loading, it might still be worth it for about 25 USD. otherwise, wait and see if the expansion fixes the bugs.

    Wait for the expansion because it's the third patch.

    AI sucks bad...the graphics are cool and the game idea is nice.

    Don`t buy it! You might get dependant! At least I am.

    It`s definately worth your money, I would strongly recommend you to buy it.

    The load/save game bug is bad, but don`t let it ruin your game experience, RTW is a great game after all.

    If you're unsure - wait for the Expansion.

    With mods, it's playable - but even sometimes with them it's rather tiresome because you can't mod out some of the hardcoded problems....

    I certainly think it is worth it. I have spent many many hours on this game, but the mods are what make it even better. Good old RTR.

    But yes, I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

    "Specifically, are there any major bugs still left? (What's this about a save/load bug?) Exactly how bad is the AI? (Is it better or worse than MTW?)"

    In my latest campaign i used toggle_fow to watch egypt. They have been trying to take the same city for like 10 years. Load/save is nearly game breaking. The battle AI is awful in vanilla, but is medocre if you istall SPQR or DARTH MOD.

    The ai is not very aggressive in the campaign map, .*most* of the time they don't really come at you that much.


    That said i stll play it ALOT and it can be a challenge if you install a mod.

    IMHO, you should wait for the X-pac, which might fix the problems listed above.

    Hoped that helped
