**EMPIRE TOTAL WAR**

I just noticed that myself

- Basic fix for AI being unable to move army by fleet.
- Aggression of factions in campaign improved, as well as tweaks to diplomacy.
- Improvements to campaign AI relating to its waging of wars, recruitment and movement of armies.
YAY :)

- Economic tweaks have been made to campaign to reduce amount of money made in later part of campaign.
- Land unit recruitment cost in campaign has been increased, with higher cost on higher difficulty level.
- Ship recruitment and upkeep costs have been increased in campaign.
:(

Logged into steam just started to update and hard drive with the games on has gone bye byes i really just cannot get a break lol let me know how it works guys :).
 
Yeah they are saying if your at the point of a critical crash in a save this patch may or may not resolve it but it isn't likely as too much old code will have created the problem and that the best thing to do is start from scratch :(. So when i get the new hd in i will be starting from the beginning and if i still get issues then it really will be time to bin it as any game is only worht so much time before others are calling you to play them :).
 
I might actually try and play this again. I didnt get very far tbh but I found the early part of the game way to easy (which is normally the harder bit). After that its just slogging it across the map with an unstoppable army, more time than skill.
 
I am still not sure whether to bother with the patch, I might just not use it.

I've never had any crashes so the crash fixes arent an issue to me, most of the AI and gameplay fixes are ones which I have already got from Mods anyway. Doesnt seem to be too much in the patch which would be of benefit to me, so I probably wont bother downloading the patch and will carry on playing as I am at the moment.
 
I've given up playing this game now.

I've started a new campaign 3 times and it crashes when in the last third of it. Can't get past to the next turn.

I'm waiting for someone to tell me a patch is released fixing all of these problems before starting new campaign.

My worst experience of a game since gaming for 20+ years.
 
still no decent patch for this yet?

i bought it on release day, just waiting for a decent patch to come along so I can install it... :(
 
RizlaKing, no not the latest patch.

I don't want to go through installing the patch and then playing two-thirds of a campaign to realise it still crashes.

So I'm holding fire until it becomes stable (not holding my breath) before starting a new campaign.

I cannot believe I was duped into believing the hype around this game. Waited many months for it's release. The previous games were true classics Shogun, Medieval and Rome. Shame.
 
Well sadly to anyone that bought med2 this is all too familiar and thats half of my problem here they made so many promises on empire that they would take their time not release it until it was properly sorted and they released it in the state it is in. While i acknowledge there are some people that for whatever reason have been able to both play and enjoy the game they are well and truly in the minority.

It simply isn't good enough and i am a real fan of the total war serious i own them all and that was part of the reason i ignored my gut feeling and bought empire when it came out but i can say for damn sure i will not be buying the next one until it has been out a very long time i got bit again with empire i don't intend to make it a regular thing.
