The Save Load bug has been fixed. This I am almost 90% sure of.

Mumm... well looking back on things I guess I was outright rude. Really it was more of a joke than anything else, especially with Kraxis (love the interactive history thing that you do). I suppose a smilie to denote the insincere nature of my remark would have been appropriate, but then again I was never one for smilies.

Well what I'm really trying to get at is this: remember when you first started playing RTW back almost a year ago? Remember that "OMG there's this this and this to do and... OH! wow!" and so on and so on. It's not till a week or two in that the defect start to get to you. It's the same thing for BI. The "Oh wow I'm playing BI" feeling wears off REAL fast. For me it didn't even last into the first battle.

I mean, have you all seen the Sassanids? Their units are basically a set of barbarian units (the same set that comprises 90-100% of Western barbarian faction retinues) reskinned with a terriblly bright blue!

Even more blasphemous, the "Virgin" units for the Sarmatians... has CA really degraded itself to selling its game with SEX APPEAL???!!!

In summary, BI is a poorly made expansion that goes against the very spirit of the Total War series. Shame on CA and Sega.

Oh and Frog, sorry, I thought that the connection with MTW (in a very remote way) qualified it as a fanfic. I was mistaken on second thought, my apologies, keep up the excellent work.
