Release date pushed back to March so they can add:

Significantly the additional time will also allow us to implement the underlying technology for a much desired feature (thanks to your feedback!); a multiplayer campaign mode. An opportunity to participate in the 1 versus 1 multiplayer campaign mode beta will be made available to all Empire Total War buyers post release.

Same, more so when I get into the MP campaign.

Loving the TW games like I do, so much of my time is going to be spent conquering the world (again!)

Just got an email from Amazon saying this will dispatch earlier than expected - 4-6 March.  Which, given Amazon's ability to deliver games after release, means its probably already available :)

Given up on any demo being released.

I'll wait until the game goes live in 2 weeks to play it.  Makes the anticipation all the sweeter.

blame Dawn of War 2 requiring steam for installationand activation took me an hour just to be able to play the game, methinks they servers are straining with the patch and release of E:TW demo ;)
"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." Josiah Stamp (Governor Bank of England 1928-41)

Played it. Jesus, ETW is going to be epic. Amazing detail - admittedly i played on high settings with my rig, but seeing crewmen board ships and fight ont he decks for control is just droooool worthy.
