Will you be leaving M2TW behind when Empires is released?

Just as the topics asks.

I, myself will still be playing m2tw for a while yet. Firstly because I love M2TW and secondly I don't think I will have the computer to handle Empire TW.

I imagine I will probably stick to Empire for a while, but I imagine I will be back to M2TW at some point. Some of my most enjoyable campaigns in any Total War game have been in Broken Crescent and Stainless Steel. Also, I suspect the medieval theme and melee-heavy combat will make a nice change for when I want a break from the primarily ranged combat of Empire.

Of course, this is all contingent on the system requirements for Empire being vaguely manageable.

What PBI said. I maintain skepticism about suffering firearms. I like a good old sword and shield battle. Then again, I said the same about the move from Rome to Medieval, but I ended up finding it difficult to go back. There's something about the interface of Rome I just don't like...

Probably won't get Empires. I'm still not too happy in which state RTW and M2TW got left in.

I waited for the worst MTW2 bugs to be resolved before I bought it, and I'll be waiting for the worst of the inevitable Empires bugs to be resolved before I buy it as well. I want to say, however, that I appreciate all the beta testers who buy it at full price as soon as it's released and fight through the frustrations and annoyances of trying to get a developer to finish a game so that I can pick it up out of a bin a few months later when it's at least somewhat closer to finished.

Well Said.
