How much has Empire Total War improved since launch?

[Phrancheyez]

I think that game is the worst pc war game ever made. Every iteration of it ever. My instructor at ITT loved that game, so we played it from time to time after class (usually and mostly Call of Duty), and I hated it. I honestly could not see what anyone would like in that game..it was soooooo slow, and on top of that, after spending 30 minutes getting within range, half your damn army runs away. Improved? Maybe..but what's an improvement on shit? Fertilizer? I dunno man..
