I'll be sticking with EB, if for no other reason than that I'm a Roman history freak. I never played the prior TW games, and until RTW I hadn't played an RTS (whew, them's some acronyms...) since Starcraft. That said, if 0.8 doesn't precede MTW2 by a decent margin, say a month, I fear it'll lose a large part of its audience.
