Yeah, yeah, yeah... we've all see the Hitler subtitle videos before...


But as someone who was so excited about E:TW only to be spoon fed a broken pile of rat feces, this video puts my frusteration, as well as everyone else who ownes E:TWs frusterations LIGHTLY.

It got good reviews. I read that the sea battles can get tedious and are better skipped than personally seen to each time. I guess they omitted the graphical and AI probs. I noticed it to some extent on teh demo. I kept trying to get my horse drawn artillary to dismount and they just kept getting all thier fucking horses in a straight line. And sometimes both my unit and the ai unit would just stand face to face, maybe 25 yards apart and nobody would be doing any shooting...I would command them to fire and they would just stand there like it was some xmas day truce they had going on.

We're all miffed by the good reviews. Either they played a stripped down version of the game or they were influenced.


The game doesn't work on the majority of the players computers. On a game that advertised the naval aspect so much as a selling point, the AI doesn't know how to transport armies via naval transport. If you play as England, you can't lose. The AI never invade.

Pathfinding might be worse than M:TW. There is no (promised) Mplayer campaign.


This is scratching the surface. The game is a train wreck... but somehow it still manages to be fun... for the 20 minutes I can play without crashing. Good thing it autosaves.
