    Well to me it's seems like CA is trying to make a Space Shuttle while they couldn't make a car work as it should.

    The era itself is interesting, they new tactical and strategic possibilities seem nice, but adding naval battles when they couldn't make land working as intended... It could be that they have bitten of more than they can chew...

    If we judge by how M2TW didn't improve much on RTW, if anything, it introduced new problems and bugs than ETW could be a serious mistake. New engine, new type of units, naval battles... I don't know...

    If we get land battles like they were in M2TW and naval battles that are equally buggy, than all this has been for nothing.

    I really hope I'm wrong and that CA UK will finally make a finished game. Good luck...

    Just a warning to all who post from here onwards. This thread is getting close to CA bashing. I do not like CA bashing. The Moderators and Admins do not like CA bashing. Please do not bash CA.

    Bashing is a no-no. But criticism, expecially argumented and constructive criticism is a good thing.

    M2TW looks more like a RTW mod than a new game. Considering that they had an engine (RTW) and most of the research done (MTW), they way they made the game is a disgrace for such an acclaimed company like CA is, IMHO.

    I hope that ETW will be taken much more seriously.

    Please don't ask that we all shower CA with praises they don't deserve. It'll be counter-productive. I'm sending happy thoughts and hope that they will learn from their mistakes and make a game that will make gamers happy and which will in turn earn them good money, which is the point of every game.

    If we're gonna limit ourselves only to praises than there is no point in this forum...

    Constructive Critisism, yes. Bashing like we had for M2TW (The only one i was here for) is no. Everything so far is ok, but it is tinkering on the edge. A few trolls can do some damage.

    I'm happy enough about the new era, I would liked for it to have started earlier though, so we could have had some good old English Civil War action with pike and musket.

    Still, it gets my thumbs up as a good direction for CA to take, especially with the inclusion of naval warfare.

    Yes I am satisfied with the era, but as with the previous post, I would have loved seeing it start earlier too. Say around 1520 LOL

    Don't worry, I'm sure the mods would step in if anything bad were to crop up. Thus far, I've only seen legitimate answers and opinions with regards to the opening question of this topic.

    Anyone here ever play Sid Meier's Gettysburg?

    If this game is like that on the battle map, coupled with a campaign map, and naval battles, it will be awesome.

    Off topic: I think you're better off just clikcing report post on the offending post, that way Tosa won't get spammed quite so much.
