Fills me with profound sense of joy to know you guys are working so hard to get EBII up and running.

Keep up the excellent work as I'm sure everyone on these forums will join me thanking you for slamming your heads repeatedly against a hard surface whilst trying to bring us the next version of the best Total War game yet made.

On a slightly different note however you should know that your amazing efforts in EB v1.0 have totally ruined all other incarnations of TW for me and basically made me waste lots of money buying them all and the expansion packs.

Vanilla Rome is un-playable compared to Eb, MTW2 is also unplayable, just looking at the campaign map in MTW2 and then comparing it to EB1 makes me quit the game in disgust. Kingdoms is no better, EB still looks and plays in a much superior way but it's not even about looks. The campaign map in EB makes for a much more strategic game than the bland, flat, featureless sea of green that MTW2 offers us.

I'm really looking forward to the EB2 now, with battles being as good as they are in MTW2 and the campaign being as challanging as it is in EB1, it's likely I will still be playing EB2 over Empires when that finally arrives. Knowing CA they will make Empires a walk in the park for seasoned TW players and I will be forced to go back to EB2 for the challange it (crosses fingers) presents.

You are the future of TW, thanks to all involved in the project and I'm looking forward to getting my hayasdan on when the game is ready for us plebs to play.

PS. Touch the cavalry stats for the hayasdan family members and I will find you and pull off your fingers :).

I guarantee you that all stats will have to be redone for EB2, including your precious. The lethality factor doesn't work in M2TW you see.

NOOO!!!!!

Is there any new ways introduced in MTW2 (or kingdoms) to make the combat system more complex, or is that just a step backwards?

From what I have seen, but I haven't played some much, it is a step backward.

i disagree. whilst its not as advanced of a step forward as we would have expected it is certainly not a step backward either. it does have many improvements and new features. and AI is more moddable.

So how is the MTW2 system a step backwards?

Overall worse Unit Cohesion, mostly.
