I do like the new Campaign map style but everything else well its just not Total war and the whole squaler things just sucks ass . I have been playing MTW since it was released and upgraded to VI day it was released and I have never looked back, in my eyes MTW is like a ugly Girlfirend that does everything for you, she may not look great but by god you love her.... and I have recently started playing my first ever Mod which is XL and its awesome and really sorted out some of the minor discrepencies out for me like the english channel is actually now a Barrier I love you XL

so all in all you really need to play this game. Oh and dont play Medieval without the VI its not that great and auto Manage on tax is AWFUL. MTW VI is far superior.
One more quick thing if you are really into your diplomacy then you will be disapointed as there might aswell be none In MTW thats the one thing i can say RTW did get right
