is M2TW kind of crippled?

[Slug For A Butt]

Sea battles? Why for god's sake?
Surely they would be cumbersome and boring.
They have never been included in any Total War game, and for the forseeable future I'm happy for them to leave it that way. It's absolutely no loss to the game, and they can concentrate on what TW is good at... land battles.
I suppose the game is crippled in a way, but it sure as hell is nothing to do with lack of sea battles. I don't know how long you have been playing TW games, but I think you are missing the point of them. Sea battles are insignificant enough to be left out, look at the overall beauty and depth of all the TW games... it's enough for me.

y'know if you're too sissy to tackle a naval battle, if it ever is designed, then just auto-guess as you do now. i think actual naval battles would be great and for those who think they're boring, you know nothing bout history. go watch the history channel or research naval warfare before you condemn something.

Holycow, I think you need to understand what people are saying before you act in such a pompous, patronising manner.
Reread and digest what people are saying...
I do watch the History channel at times (is that where you get all your knowledge from?) and find it mildly entertaining, and I do know something "bout" history, and I do think naval battles are not what TW is about and they would be cumbersome and boring.
Do I have your permission to condemn the idea now?

The main land battles have problems and bugs that need to be fixed. If you added on naval battles then only God knows what will happen. I think CA has enough problems fixing current problems. There's no need too add something that would give them more in the future. Not to mention the fact that Medieval naval battle pretty primitive(ramming, boarding, etc.) people would lose interest fast in that sort of thing. It's not worth CA's time or manpower to try to come up with a system like that imo.

[pike master]

surely you are kidding me guys.

sea battles would be awesome. especially with broadside exchanges. boarding actions. ships mast falling over and ships listing and sinking and fires raging when the powder kegs get hit.

cool!

[Csargo]

Maybe with gunpower ships, but before that it's not really interesting

Could we please keep this thread clear of personal attacks and CA-bashing?

Talk to the topic, not to the person.

I really want CA to put Naval battles in future games/expansion becuase i'm sick of not having any control over them.
