CA stated that 1.5 is the last major patch for E:TW.
I don't know about y'all, but this game is still a minefield of bugs for me.

-I can't trade some techologys because the icons are broken. Seriously, how did that make it through testing?

-Diplomacy is still broken. I try to send an offer to the Ottoman Empire and they ALWAYS reply with "Peace for East Prussia." Nations still value all of their technology/land more than yours.

-Fort Battle BAI is still completely broken.

-Still no multiplayer campaign, which was supposed to be out shortly after release.

-1.3 CTDs are back. Any siege battle for me results in a CTD while trying to load the campaign map after the battle (I basically can't expand unless I auto-resolve).

/beginrant

I wish I could tell steam to revert back to 1.4 because 1.5 is such a trash update. I can't even believe that CA had the arrogance to come out and brag about their amazing code. Sure, it's got to be long and complex, but if it doesn't ****ing work... it DOESN'T ****ing matter!

I still can't believe they screwed this game up so badly. CA has to make this series better in the future or I won't buy it again.

I bought this game anticipating the multiplayer campaign... Will last time I ever buy a game until I see what they promised... I mean I played the singleplayer for about 20 hours or so because it was fun but I really wanted the multiplayer campaign so me and my friend/cousin can play against each other. Kind of bs that it sounds like they aren't going to complete this feature :(

What are they? UBISOFT?!

"Derrr we arent supporting this game any more, we've done enough"

what the hell man, you make a product, you fix it...we paid money for it.

This is, imo, call for legal action to be perfectly honest.

I don't know about you guys but multiplayer campaign sounds really boring. The game takes a long time for each person to have their turn so I think it would just be a lousy snooze fest.

And I must be lucky or something but I haven't encountered any sort of bugs when I play Empire Total War

The biggest tragedy of the Total War series is that the game is so beautifully crafted (bugs aside) and allows for such epic campaigns and battles, yet it's all squandered thanks to terrible AI. There is so much potential that I shed a tear everytime I boot up E:TW and mow down army after army of AI-controlled idiot soldiers.

I was looking forward to ETW, but it did not deliver and it is still not a complete game (or enjoyable). Instead of trying to fix it that release an expansion.

Really when it comes down to it whenever I hear about TW games now I just wonder how much of the game will be broken, instead of thinking about any shiny new unit that might be there.

I didn't even know there was going to be a multiplayer campaign. So, not really missing it. ;) Otherwise, only bug that was annoying for me, early on, was when the CPU nations couldn't transport troops. AI's not perfect, no game is perfect, don't nitpick, have fun playing.

well need to somehow force people to but N:TW after the piece of **** that E:TW was -.-

"I had 6 copies of Empire: Total War sat on my shelf intended for close gamer friends that I didn't send out because I was too embarrassed about the flaws. Old friends are the harshest critics. Well they've gone out now. I think the game now meets my personal unreasonably high quality threshold - not just good but great. Hopefully my friends will agree."

that's ****ing retarded, how the hell do you charge 50$ for a game that you are embarrased to show to your friends?

bah, I bet they will add the mp campaign in Napoleon. Tbh, I never cared for that mp campaign, since I prefer to play alone. I still like the game a lot and now, it's even better. I mean I played Poland on very hard yesterday and I was getting owned pretty badly. The campaign map ai is really challenging now, making good alliance and attacking you on your weak spot. The combat ai is still meh, especially for siege, but on open map, it can still give a challenge. For 25$, the game really worth it.

I said ETW has been poor technically since launch and just got flamed by the PC fanboys, guess its finally sunk in after all these months.

Well, some of us have friends (I have probably 5+) that I would absolutely love to play Total War games with on multiplayer - but the only way to experience the game is with the campaign map. Multiplayer campaign would be exactly what the doctor ordered. If they said multiplayer campaign wasn't going to be added on - I would not have bought the game.

I found the game utterly boring to be quiet honest. And I'm glad there isnt a multiplayer campaign. Jeez when you just play a battle online you have to wait for ages for people to ready up and thats just a battle could you imagine how long a gampaign would take online ?

This is true. Playing with random people would fail, but with friends and family it would not be as bad.

EDIT: Random people would rage quit or some thing. Your friends and family are ganna stick it out.

Things that are annoying me about it at the moment would have to be how they totally gimped the puckel guns for some reason, I used to love them. And how they somehow managed to replace the Ottoman Organ gun with the mortar (the model is still the same but it's charactaristics aren't).

I also love how they released the Special Forces content as DLC on steam with bonus units but won't give the bonus units to people who payed moreoriginally for them on release.
