I'm not going to get the special forces one if it's more expensive. I'll be grabbing the game once I'm done with Dawn of War 2, I'd better get it in a bit before I pop off to America.

Is it me or are games getting harder and harder to install, Fallout 3 was ok (probably because I didn't install GFWL) but GTA IV and Empire were absolute nightmares

I think its all to do with the heightened pirate protection these days m8. It just make sit all more complex and therefore a greater quantity of things that can go wrong. I'm giving serious thought to jaking it all ain and going back to Win 98SE tbh Smiley

Just visited some of the better unofficial TW forums (thought they were the genuine articles but no, just came up on Google first), actually some very helpful strategies there and a minimum of trolls.

Having no crashing or save game issues (there was a patch that apparently addressed the save game issue) but I do have to wait a while (about 30 secs) when selecting stacks of naval units, especially stacks with 3rd rate or larger ships.

At the moment I have 6 full size armies on 3 continents and a couple of stacks of naval vessels and I'm getting some serious slow down on the campaign map.  I blame the French.

I've got the game now, btw, and I will eventually play it (give or take more multiplayer DOW2, finishing off Chrono Trigger, and TF2...), I'm really happy waiting for more patches, some of the issues hopefully reported earlier in the thread will be solved Smiley

HUGE patch just landed. Fixes most things I've had an issue with (in theory), plus some I had no idea of but is nice anyway. Full details here. Highlights for me:
Quote
Armies now placed correctly on battlefields in relation to campaign
Units with limits on how many can be recruited now show how many are available
Fix for problem relating to artillery unlimbering after being ordered to limber (about damn time, most annoying thing ever in the heat of battle)
Fix for missile cavalry not reloading when out of combat
Jaegers now have muskets instead of incorrect rifles, Prussian Jaegers keep rifles (hell yeah about time I had some worth to researching the damn technology)
The entire section on AI and balancing, most notably: 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
Land unit recruitment cost in campaign has been increased, with higher cost on higher difficulty level

Patch is out with some new units and fixes, which has pushed me into sorting my install of this and I am going to properly do a full campaign sometime Smiley

I also have spoken with the AI developers of the series. They're doing the patching (of course) and said they'd hope to drastically improve some parts of the games AI - such as replanning strategy in the RTS bits and also doing proper diplomacy and coordination on the map level. Sounded like they had their heads screwed on right after being assigned the work (most of them got it around the time of release since people left, so they didn't do the initial AI).
