SEGA of American confirms a four week delay for The Creative Assembly's latest Total War title...
After setting its sights on an early February '09 release, SEGA has today confirmed that The Creative Assembly's highly-anticipated Empire: Total War will now launch in March.
News of the slight delay will no doubt disappoint the franchise's loyal fan base on the PC – there are several here at TVG – as they continue their wait to play what promises to be the most revolutionary instalment to date.
Set during the 18th century, Empire features some of the biggest changes in Western history, including the Industrial Revolution and the American War of Independence – together with 3D naval battles for the first time in the franchise. Speaking about Empire back in the summer, Mike Simpson, Studio Director at The Creative Assembly, commented that, “This will undoubtedly be the biggest and best Total War game we’ve ever made.”

'Where "should" reenforcements come then?'
Wherever they were placed on the campaign map should be indicative of where they appear within the battle. A secondary army placed directly behind my main should not spawn onto the battle map directly behind my enemy's army, though this is widely the case.
"And I've had plenty of occasions when the AI has retreated."
This is either a lie or a misunderstanding of terms. The AI will "rout" on the battle map when defeated/overwhelmed. The AI does not retreat in campaign map situations; like 20 full assorted units meeting one half strength unit.
"Empire: Total War has been universally acclaimed, but individual complains will always happen"
As far as reviews from those paid by a larger company (gamespy, gamenet,tvg, etc) you're right, they're overly positive. Player-written reviews, as far as I have read, have been littered with the comments echoed here - bugs, broken- and missing content, permanently-corrupted saves - take your pick.
The only game i've ever seen that compared to this one's level of buggedlybrokenness is Daikatana - woe betide purchasers thereof.

Oh yeah? And where did you get that juicy morsel from? Can't see it myself, seeing as no Total War game has been released for a console.

bad update since then i cant play online when i give orders it takes ten seconds between them to be followed so now my cav wait until everyone fire at them or mly troops dont move they wait to die. This is the worst update I ever seen i am totally desappointed and feel that i cant play it anymore... before everything worked just fine... so now it is just a waste

Where "should" reenforcements come then?
And I've had plenty of occasions when the AI has retreated.
Rarely had an issue with CTD, perhaps once. It's unfair to label this as a fault, as this is most often caused by problems with individual setups.
Empire: Total War has been universally acclaimed, but individual complains will always happen.
Sounds like you should just take your copy back and get a refund, as you're obviously not happy with it.

What the hell kind of awful review is THIS? Did you even play the game, Mr. Reviewer? Did they pay you with freebies. Did the shine blind you?
1. AI can`t do sea invasions. You are invincible as England.
2. Reinforcements don`t come where they should on battlemaps.
3. Diplomacy is useless.
3 Loads of other AI uselesness, like the enemy never retreats even if outnumbered10\1.
4. Loads of cTDs, sounds issues etc.
Plus a helluva a lot more, too many to write here. The only good stuff are the land and ship battles, but alone it is not enough if Campaign Ai is crap!
And if you rated the game on what it might be like in the future, WE want to know what it`s like NOW! It`s our money we spend, not yours.
The game deserves 6\10 and you deserve 2/10 for the review.

This game is a disaster full of game breaking crashes and errors. I don't know how a positive review can be justified.

Why can't you play it, admitedly STEAM has issues but I can't see why it's stopping you from playing.
