Scots The Scots are a Highland ex-patriate infantry used by the United Provinces, renowned for their deadly charge. haha, i like that part, apparently the dutch are the only country (exept denmark and norway) crazy enough to use scotsmen for warfare xD |

i hate how CA are making it out as if they are being gracious and giving the comm free units when they should of been there in the first place. ffs, "mob" formation... ###### that circle ######, just allow all natives light inf abilities from the get go and you have the problem fixed, they didnt fight in a ######ing circle anyway. instead of releasing eeurotrash units they need to diversify the natives, im sorry i didnt realise that the inuits were half naked and fought and looked like eastren natives :/ ^ is allmost as bad as rtw eygpt. |

All excellent changes, it seems.... unless the new units are overly spammable. A bit concerned they didn't mention anything about maps.... |

Depending on the date (and your definition of "mercenary"), that'd vary greatly. But the point of it is true, scots were widely hired.

They've released "large" patches before, and all they did was make new bugs! |

I get the impression that if CA gave melon £1 million he'd be complaining about the change.

After purchasing one copy of shogun, one of medieval, 3 of RTW, 2 of MTW2, and 1 of ETW, I have the right to complain. |

Yes ofc, but with the contact with the community and the patches that actually try to improve MP balance, CA are making far far more effort than they ever did for any of the previous games. They are basically trying to do what we asked for (within limits, yes some features aren't there, and maps are sorely needed). ETW as it stands is quite good and they're actively trying to improve it. RTS games always require a lot more work to get right than FPS. Maybe I'm not so negative as I just didn't bother with MTW2 online, I dunno; but I am optimistic that the game is moving and moving in the right direction. |

i still want the dismemberment and blood they promised. or at the very least units getting dirt effects like in m2 to cover up that shitty bloom effect that makes white pants glow brighter than the sun. |

If ETW is so good, why are there even less people playing online than...RTW? Why are there so few community competitions? Why is Jack Lusted the person we are talking to instead of their MP programmers? Yes they have taken steps, but they have taken strange steps.

Seems to be quite a lot playing, just spread out over all the servers. I never have trouble getting a game. I've no way of comparing numbers with RTW, they do need to ditch the regional servers thing though. It hardly draws people in if there are few playing on yours. Why would we have cause to talk to the MP programmers? All they need to know is what the bugs are, feedback through Jack Lusted involves balance issues, which isn't something quite as obvious as working/not working. |

Not in evidence. Xfire currently logs ~2x the RTW hours for ETW. http://www.xfire.com/games/rtw/Rome_Total_War/ http://www.xfire.com/games/etw/Empire_Total_War/ Apparently, those who want to play, get to play.
1st four months of the game, and RTKs have played in 3 team tourneys that I can remember, and some 1v1 competitions that I don't mean to remember, including yours I believe.
I suppose those programmers can't put up with whining as easily as Jack.
So you're the guy sitting in the middle on the wall on his own, refusing to use the steps and get to his friends

You know I mean multiplayer, xfire does not distinguish. If you include mine in that 4 month span (a 1 day event) that is sad. ETW revved up with several tournaments in mind, and not even CCS wants to put the effort into this one. ETW has the same MP problems as before: having connection issues with people, uneven maps, and a lobby system that makes no sense. Even if I wanted to play in my prime time, there are only 4-5 games being played. Not very good for a game that was released in the past few months. |

So? It does not distinguish for RTW either. And it's a helluva lot more solid comparison than "some guy"'s personal opinion Xfire users are typically people who play games online.
been spreading the ill will, have you Don't you worry, if there's nothing else, Abs will whip up a tourney sooner or later
Yawn router firewall mappack invite. The less than brilliant lobby design doesn't have that much to do with being able to play a good game.
In that case, europeans must play the game online a lot more than americans, as the list usually filled the screen whenever I looked. I'd say too bad, but you don't wanna play anyway. You also could be on the wrong server. |

tune* Perhaps my problem with ETW stems from my overly optimistic attitude prior to its release, and when I saw the end product, it was filled with lies and the same old crap. When I tried to run that tournament -- which should have taken 4 hours -- it took almost 10. I saw the same issues arise that I've seen in every TW game. I seriously wonder what shape the game was in last fall when they decided to delay release. |

Come now, surely you can sing a toon with all that creativity of yours? ![]() Yea, 1v1 would mean problems between 2 specific persons can be an obstacle. Was the most of the extra 6 hrs actually due to technical problems? |

i guess when they are riding they can't reload. it would be a little difficult to reload when trying to ride a horse in formation. |
