I loved all of the Total War games, I mean, I worship them 
However with Empire I'm really, really struggling to get into the game. It simply feels soul-less. I can't quite put my finger on it, perhaps it's because my commander, Monarch etc feels dislocated from the action.
I love playing the King, having him in the fight and really putting his life on the line along with the other generals, who you've built up over time into killing machines but with Empire the generals feel disposable and frankly I've played a lot with none of them leading my armies.
Empire looks stunning but I find myself still going back to MTW2 and playing the Stainless Steel mod
Anyone else not getting into Empire the way they thought they would? Surely I'm not the only one!
PS as a side note - anyone know of any other good mods that work with MTW2- kingdoms and Steam?
