Heh! Now thats what I call optimism

Well I really cant think of a single game that has ever been released without bugs or gameplay imbalances. Granted this thread is jumping the gun just a little but its only a matter of time until we start getting a steady stream of threads purporting real or perceived bugs.

Seeing that this is likely to be a lively thread, I thought I would offer a somewhat organized way to manage the data. I humbly offer the Binary Incident Totalwar Capture Hierarchy, otherwise known as BITCH. Old timers may recognized this as a updated refinement of the Handy-Dandy whining system from back in MTW days

Please refer to located bugs using the following classification system:

1. In combat, units die (a. too fast, b. too slow, c. without benefit of counsel)

2. Missle weapon ranges are ridiculously (a. short, b. long, c. curved)

3. The AI's diplomatic skills remind me of (a. Gandhi, b. Stalin, c. Bush, d. Benny Hill)

4. My diplomats cannot negotiate (a. trade rights with the Aztecs, b. right of passage through the Black Sea, c. sexual favors from an Italian princess, d. sexual favors from the Pope)

5. Units from [insert faction name here] are fantastically (a. overpowered, b. underpowered, c. dressed, d. endowed)

6. Death to the CA facists that left out (a. Poland, b. Lithuania, c. Texas, d. Middle Earth)

7. [Insert faction name] should have (a. Capriolatian hoplites, b. orcs, c. B-17s, d. laser tanks)

8. When ordered to attack, units move (a. too quickly, b. too slowly, c. without asking, d. without weapons)

9. Yo dude - can i pre-order a l33t PS3 here cuz i rAwK!!!!!

10. The %*&^! game won't run on (a. a processor without SSE2, b. Windows ME, c. a FORTRAN compiler, d. a graphing calculator)

11. Units in the [faction name] are wearing inappropriate (a. armor, b. surcoats, c. secret decoder rings, d. codpieces)

12. The game is ruined, and my life is over, because (a. [obscure city] is on the wrong side of [obscure river], b. Trebuchets were NEVER used after October 18th 1226AD, at about 11:30 in the morning, c. I can't destroy an entire army of [enemy factions uber-unit] with one unit of [my uber-unit], d. &(*#! this history stuff - I wanted Fantasy: Total War)

Forgot one:

13. I cannot name my (a. faction heir, b. Duke of Northumberland, c. hunting dog, d. imaginary friend)

It might be better not to report any bugs because ignorance is bliss, and CA isn't going to fix half of them anyway.
