This is my opinion of the newly released emperor edition (at first release this game deserved what it got). Many of the problems raised by other reviewers have been fixed, including the bad AI. The battles feel visceral now and are (kind of) challenging at times. The new campaign is pretty awsome and actually fairly historically accurate at the start. Essentially it feels like a good complete game to me now, which raises the question: Why didn't they just wait and release it in this state to begin with? Anyway I think it's a much better game now and a least worthy of the total war series.
