I guess there's no money in patching a game that's two generations old.

Not only that, but the first two publishers for Total War were never very good at supporting patches in the first place. Both EA (for Shogun & Mongol Invasion/Warlord Edition) and Activision (for MTW/VI & RTW) allocated money for exactly *one* patch for each game and expansion, but that was it. (In fact, I believe CA ended up patching the Viking Invasion expansion on their own dime; Activision flatly refused to fund a patch to fix the 56-year bug.)Originally Posted by gunslinger

It wasn't until Sega bought CA that we started seeing better post-release support. RTW/BI was the first--and so far, only--TW title to receive multiple patches. Those of us who play the earlier games kinda got the shaft in that department.![]()

Martok is right. There are loads of unpatched issues in both STW/MI and MTW/VI, and as for Rome, well that's probably been one of the worst, though it has had alot more patching than STW and MTW had.
