Do the current TW speeds and/or AI detract from your gameplay?

Sadly when you start using a mod or become a member of a TW forum you are a hardcore player. So when a majority votes for option 1 then it only shows that the hardcore players want a change. CA is not targeting the hardcore players, so the outcome of this poll is not important as who would in their right mind think that a forum population would present the average buyer; surely only hardcore buyers go on the internet!

This logic is flawed and I know it.

Yes, well, it puts you in the same group as Puzz3D, who is convinced CA does not cater to the hardcore gamers anymore. While this might be true with respect to historical accuracy (makes the Egyptians more boring in my opinion) and realism (come on, don't tell you don't like what Elephants do?), I cannot imagine it being true for gameplay. The better your gameplay, the more your game sells.

The total war series can be played in more than 1 way while having fun: the slow tactical way, or the fast arcade way. RomeTW obviously favored the latter, while STW and MTW only had the former. Perhaps CA got bored with the old speeds, and wanted something faster themselves.

What they learn from browsing these forums though, is that some gamers just don't get used to the fast arcade way. According to this poll the majority of forum members prefer the slow tactical way. They will therefore probably adjust the speeds to accomodate them. They might not, but to say 100% that they won't before hand is bigotry.
