That's precisely what i was thinking. No one else seems to realise that because there'll be no more senate, it'll open up hundreds of modding possibilites.

If RTW expansion has the same price than VI (more or less) I think is a bit expensive.

BTW I am very upset with the postsale support offered, I don't care who the guilty is, sure costumers not. So I don't have any good reason to buy the expansion despite I still play a lot the game.

we live in a world were money is almost if not EVERYTHING, if they won't go for the moneymaking style, they'll be bankrupt in a month

I have played both TW expansions. A lot.

I enjoyed the new features in each of them although IMO none of them represented an especially dramatic departure from the game play of its predecessor. The Mongols don’t build troops and that was the big difference from other factions. A new map and new factions in VI were excellent but the other changes were minor. The reinforcement tweak was nice but was hardly a sea change in game mechanics.

Night battles and river crossings sound like significant tactical additions to me but deciding what are major and minor features is a very subjective undertaking. One man’s delicacy is another’s gruel. The migrating barbarians in BI could be very interesting and different. I’m not sure we know what all the next expansion will include.

Very true Nelson, I think it is a sad reflection of society in general these days that people just love to moan about how bad things are. As you pointed out, it is an expansion and not a new game. All the negative comments really are unfounded until there is proof that the expansion is rubbish. Personally, I cannot help but laugh because all these whingers will buy it as soon as it hits the shelves

That's a rather silly comment. If it was a new game, why would we be expecting it to have any impact on the original game? RTW didn't affect MTW, MTW didn't affect STW. So anyone who is commenting about the effect a RTW expansion will have on the base RTW campaign obviously isn't expecting a new game. Suggesting otherwise is just plain foolish.

How many people have said anything about the expansion being rubbish? That seems to be wishful thinking on your part. What people have said is that the announced feature list doesn't sound terribly impressive. Does that mean the expansion won't be any good? Who knows. When it comes out, everyone can evaluate it at that point.

As for laughing, if that makes you feel better, by all means, laugh away. However, your comment is perhaps the only unsubstantiated comment this thread has truly had.

I guess the 'Featureless Expansion' thread title and the negative replies using the 'wonderful' VI as comparison just passed you by then. As for laughing...Yes I am LMAO. 'Featureless'......How is this 'substantiated'? I stand by what I said, since there has been any amount of moaning about BI and what it is not
