    Purchased, including all DLC, and the pre-order code I kept it for myself, so now I'm enjoying Napoleon TW.

    The wow factor went away blindingly fast, after 2 hours of playing it I got bored. Will resume tonight, the main campaign with France.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    I'm hoping, hoping hoping to get what I want at this years E3, when they announce the new TW title. They say they're going back to basics.

    ROME ANYONE?

    Did you like M2TW? I started a new Venice and am having quite a good time. At war with the Byz and HRE. About to take Florance and Theselonica. Haven't used the add_money cheat yet and I am beyond 25 turns. So proud of myself! I've always been a big fan of the medieval period too, wouldn't mind a M3.

    I still think M2TW is the last good title CA ever made. STW, MTW (the best) and M2TW are the only ones worthy of praise. The others are plain bad (RTW) or just meh (ETW). Can't judge NTW yet.

    I didn't really like RTW either. I had some fun with ETW, even before the series of patches. I always get a good campaign going in ETW when something halts it though. GB, new patch my save games weren't compatible. Russia, new motherboard and OS had to reinstall. Had a great Swedish campaign though, Swedish colonies in America was great!

    I got Imperial Edition on offer at Gamestation for £14.99... I never bought ETW, so leapfrogged straight from M2TW to NTW.

    My machine gets very hot when playing NTW. I haven't yet started a proper campaign (just got it this week) but the battles are much better than I thought they were going to be... when set on "normal" difficulty, set your line of battle to fire-at-will, then go away and put the kettle on - but change the setting to "hard" and you will lose the battle if you don't gain local superiority.

    The sea battles are brilliant... I got my butt kicked 3 times in a row, but still loved it (I really gotta learn naval tactics, hehehe).

    Worth the money? Hell yeah... no glitches or bugs yet, just runs hot.
    When an evil masochist dies, does he go to hell...
    ...or would heaven be a better punishment?
