In short, the game isn't finished yet. Myself and a lot of other people have had endless problems with the campaing crashing to desktop. I'm now stuck on my campaign about 40 turns in because something the United States does on their turn causes a crash, also wiping out the US to prevent that causes a crash.

A lot of others having similar problems, esp with the Indians.

That said the campaign map looks great, and has upped itself from the previous TW games. I want this to be fixed, because then it will be great!

On the battlefield i can't really have any complaints, its good fun. Multiplayer quick battles tend to be a bit unfair usually as one side always seems to be better weighted than the other.

Naval battles are a bit of a novelty that soon wears off, and even then they are slow and the ships just don't seem to do what you tell them.

This needs a patch, and urgently. It feels like a beta, but a beta of a very promising game.
