This is a purely MP based reply.

For what it's worth and even though I am sceptical, cynical or whatever (though this is mainly caused by RTW) I would love this new game to be truly superb. The tactical possibilities of STW married with the wonderful commands and smoothness of MTW, plus the graphic splendour and the left/select and right/command of RTW. Something like that WOULD be a step in the right direction
