Im actually surprised by how positive the verdicts have been so far. I asked the exact same thing many months ago and there were maybe a couple of people who had good things to say. I was just curious to know how opinions had changed after the game has been in its final state for a few months.
Then of course there is always the point to be made that most of the people who love the game are too busy playing it to voice their opinions
Im surprised by how much you damn Rome: Total War. It's true the cavalry were overpowered (rather oddly given the time period) but I still managed to have lots of fun with the game. That could be because it was my first Total War so when I read the "old skool" fans talking about how the battles were too fast etc, it didn't really matter to me.
Having since bought the original Medieval, I see what they mean. But I still love Rome.
Now that Ive got Kingdoms Im making an effort to stay away from any Kingdoms buglists because if I don't, it might taint my enjoyment

I'll wait for the update and read all the things it fixed and then go, "ah so that wasn't working properly eh?"
Because again, if I hadn't come to this forum, then I would never have noticed the vast majority of bugs in M2TW.
As for patriotism, that is a great quote. I like the old Oscar Wilde quote, "Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious".
