the group must be changed to "PLS, CA must fail and go home" or "CA is a complete fail"

The groups name should be change to 1.4 and 1.5 are fail

I appreciate that this is formally meant to be a protest site - against 1.4 and 1.5 ETW mods and the damage done to Naval games- let's hope they are all working on late fixes for the upcomming NTW and get Naval battles and munitions ranges and effects correct there.... BUT... as you are all good Navy players (otherwise you wouldnt have the wit to be here) I'd like to take the opportunity to ask if any none claned members would consider a life as a Navy Officer in the Kings Own Royal Navy - (a subsect of the KO clan)

The Indians are gone, only reason I joined this group.

So bye.

In 1.4 pack the ottoman turkey is so powerful if you control it well I played it in very hard game and wars but I am controlling all europe and I m doing wars in america.. In this pack the less powerfull empires are strong most powerfull empires are very hard and awful

well at least the red scren has gone.

WHEN - please telll me when the vanilla game will have double-shot non- aero-dynamic chain with shorter range than ball AND fast light ships with small calliber and hence short range (at least not longer range) than slow ships that can never catch them.

it's a simple fix to put back what wasn't broken until 1.4.


I suppose until then we all have to continue to resort to using Mods or dictating rules to games saying NO 5th rates or Under? (and NO Rockets)

the indians i think are a good idea with some major BUTS . they > along with ottoman empire and maratha confederacy . CANNOT stand up to a regular army . its just impossible . ive not once seen a guy win with indians or ottomans or maratha . hold up > maratha can win siege battles with hindu/sikh warriors lol . but why the **** dont they balance the units out ? make the indians possible to use ? same with india and turks ? make them able to win . nizam credit infantry and sikh musketeers have about as much chance of beating a line infantry squad as i do at sleeping with paris hilton . and ime damn sexy so .......

The game, especially the naval battles are not fun anymore! Lots of aspects of the game that made it so good are ruinded... And wich ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game "them" the idear of putting indians(?!) between the major powers/nations of that time!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, there have been improvements made but it doesn't add-up to the fun things that are completely destroyed!... It's sad, simply sad and i wait untill another patch is ready to make it "fun" again!

I play ETW mutch less now, simply because almost the whole game is ripped of its lovely spirit :(

sad...

OH MY GOD WE HAVE A BUNCH OF PEOPLE

1.5 is an improvement. It has become a bit more challenging to play the 5th. I can still manage to demast heavier ships but it takes more work now, which is good. I agree that 1.3 was fine and its problems could've been solved with a few changes in costs. Fleet composttion rules should be added as a game host option. It is another beef of mine that a game host can't set rules for play like # of units, composition rules, custom money allotments etc.

Well I have to say - after quite a few games that 1.5 just made the problem worse... yes masts are tougher or chain not so effective and games are a tad more challening but the range for chain is still too long. so Naval games now take an eternity. 5ths and under can still remain out of range of the big ships and eek away the masts - lilttle by little - eventually the big ships are sitting ducks allowing the little ones to position themselves at the rear end of the biguns and eek away at the hull and crew morale.

Worse the new rocket ships have an evil rate of fire and ruin most games.

1.3 worked just fine - Yes people did take heavies (expert players mixed in 3rds and some 5ths for speed). If the "wisdom" of the fix was to encourage mixed fleets it failed. The better option would have been to up the costs of the bigger ships.

And /or put options in for the game host screen to set Max numbers on unit types for the game for all players. Say no more than 2 / 3 / 4 of a kind

WTF?!?!?

I just lost an battle in the campaign as prussa because i couldn't get in the house full of austrian soldiers... This patch is an deception... I mean, what the hell, they've just ruined the game with that american native screen at the menu, and they also added some MAJOR bugs...

The former CA which made Rome and Shogun and Medieval 1/2 are not the same as they used to be, now it's all about the money, they spend litlte time on the game but they promise much, advertise much and tell wonderfull stories that's just propaganda. I don't trust CA anymore and therefore will not buy any products from them for now on, till i'm convinced with the real reviews from the gamers who play the game.

...rant cont'd
As a consumer it is in my best interests to combat such things and only in numbers does the consumer achieve results. I recognise that this may not be a developer issue and that the problem may lie with pushy publishers and those that set the deadlines. Regardless though where the breakdown in quality occurs, it ia occurring, and someone must be held accountable. I don't care about the who's and whys. I care that I blew a hefty dollar on something that came broken and not only that, was made worse. To the CA? I salute what you have achieved but also need to know that I am getting what I paid for.

C'est ca.

It is true that there is much to be amazed at in all of the TW games. They are the closest to what I've always wanted in a strategy game than anything else on the market. It saddens me therefore that I do have to go for the throat with such an innovative group of people. Unfortunately for me it isn't about that. It's about the increasingly persistent and age old problem of software being forced out the door without proper quality control simply to satisfy the bottom line.

test

even if 1.4 is a bad patch you all turn on CA too quickly, they make amazing games, you love them, soon as they make a mistake you're at their throats =/

well, I won t play etw until that thing is fixed ... maybe cu in 1.5 :) thx for forming up this group

I didn't even know you could block people. There are so many games that I can't join it drives me nuts. I don't know of anyone that would intentionally block me and I have this problem with people I play with and am friends with. Which begs the question: How do I check who is and isn't being blocked? I spent hours scouring forums and there was never an answer.

@Weird ''No Response From Host'' this isnt a bug or problem.If Someone blocked your account,you cant join his game.

The 1.4 patch did NOT make the game more realistic. There's no way a frigate would out-range a full ship of the line considering it increased capacity for cannons and cannon types. The ease that a ship can have its masts knocked down is also bunk and now makes for long drawn out battles where the first guy to have his ship demasted has to sit and watch with his thumb up his nose as the battle drifts away from him. No thanks. The paper rock scissors format does NOT work in a historical strategy game.

I also want to mention that I'm not going to buy any more TW games or upgrades until they fix the 'No response from host' problem. Not sure how many of you it happens to but I can't join a vast number of people out there because of it. Steam problem? CA problem? I don't care. I bought a brand new computer, run full graphics and have a solid connection. Somebody is gonna have to fix this or no more $$$ from me. Which sucks cause I love the TW format.

Wow ! - 90 members in 48 hrs - pass the ammunition sister.... Keep sending out invites chaps.... and Ocean you are correct when you say 1.4 PATCHED some bugs But it was at the expense of BREAKING the entire Naval game.

Naval games had some issues but it wasn't broke - 1.4 has put the boot in - dropped the family glass, smashed the truck - it's broke.

Cummon CA unmonkey it - put it back together again. And while you're at it put an option on game set up screens for the host to specify 'Unique Units'- so players can only select 1 of each special / elite e.g 1 Swiss Guard or 1 HMS Victory etc. Not limiting the selection of multiple others but limits on specials - hey you could add a deselect option for the common hates - How many games say No rockets or No fixed Artillery? And then along comes a few cheats to muck it up and waste everybody's time. How hard would it be to add some Unit restriction options for the Host? Now that's a patch I'd like to download.

as well red screen is temporary,c.assembly'll make new interface after the warpath campaign

i think 1.4 patch isnt fail,its patched a lot of bugs and some errors.Now game is more realistic than 1.3 patch.

people, i know that you hate the red screen (native amarican) i know a forum where you can patch up back to the blue screen and it hold the version 1.4 it works realy i use it too .... who wants it need to answere

instead off annoying that doesnt help an idea here to optimize:

why not taking the good work of many modders suggesting it for a new offficial patch:

aum is agood suggestion... 20 historical balanced ships... does creative know these?

I personally don't think Ads should be placed into games , I won't install software with Ads in which I refer to as Adware so why would I want Ads in my games. I can't stand the red screen, makes it difficult to read any text in higher resolutions. I can't stand the increase of costs in particular units, almost one year later is a little late to start changing around the fundamentals of the game. It completely throws a monkey wrench into strategies and makes all previous game plans die in vain. It's unfair and just not right to the hard core gamer who now has to, in a lot of ways, start from scratch. Two thumbs down on the latest patch for this immaculate game.

dragoon is too strong absolutly no balance on the earth

BAD BAD patch 1.4(((((((

1.4 Patch is the fail of the year 2009! It makes the only good things in E:TW worse, Unite and Protest!!
