Re: Kingdoms Update
I posted this elsewhere, but it would be good to have it here, so I'm re-posting it. As always, my own concerns are for the main game which, IMO, still has not received the attention that it deserves. I hope you've all learned a lesson from rushing to buy Kingdoms before the main game was properly fixed; just because something looks awesome, doesn't mean you should get it ASAP.

I was pleased to see the patch announcement today, but I'll still not be buying either Kingdoms or Empire--unless they wind up in the $5 bargain bin. I still very much enjoy R:TW, but I've been so disappointed with the M2TW experience overall that I'm really wary of spending any kind of money on future TW products until it's proven to my satisfaction that we won't have to deal with this crap any more. M2TW had some great stuff going on, but it was also all half-assed--hell, I couldn't even command any battles personally for the first week I had it because the shield bug (I think that's the one) screwed with them all, making battles take 6+ hours to complete. Furthermore, I expected some serious differences from R:TW beyond the time period, and the game just didn't feel different enough. Part of that was probably simply due to the similar engine, but I digress--the point is that I'll not be buying any TW games on faith any more. It simply can't be justified--you spend forty bucks on a game that your new computer can't run properly on the lowest settings, and it's so buggy that even I notice it. =/
So there it stands. I'm overjoyed to see the patch announcement, but I urge you all to proceed with caution when considering your next TW purchase. Don't get fooled by the same tricks again (Naval battles! Graphics! Yaaaaayy...harrumph.), because then we're back to square one and the complaints will never end. At this point, we're just as much to fault as the developers.
