too often, FP, too often 
As to nursing drinks in dark corners... nah, that's not me. I only go to bars when in the company of friends, I'm not someone who will hit the bottle alone.

my guess is there waiting for the patch or something.
the euro version will be something like 1.15 instead of 1.01. Just a guess

I have PTW.The greatest delight for man is to inflict defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their horses, to crush in his arms their daughters and wives.

I have PtW also, and might be interested in an intramural PBEM game if someone wants to start one (although I'll probably be doing some traveling next week, since it includes the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday).Comment

Maybe we start a PBEM with all the East-coasters? The European group is already making their own game, and lot of us not involved in a team PBEM are relatively close geographically.

I don't want to get my hopes up, but I'm going shopping in Oxford tomorrow anyway - to get Xmas pressies for family and g/f - so I'll poke my head into EB and see what's there.
My brother works for EB (actually it's called GAME here now), but he started a 4 day break today so I can't ask him if it's in yet.
Hopefully it'll be out soon (tomorrow seems like wishful thinking, though), but I've already DL'ed the 1.14f patch. Fingers crossed.If I'm posting here then Counterglow must be down.Comment

FP, your brother works for EB, and you have the patch already? how comes you don't own the game too
I'll be searching it tomorrow as well, however I don't think I'll be able to play much the coming week. If I find some free time, I have to invest it into CB...

I played my first PTW game all the way out to a SS launch this holiday weekend. I don't often get to play with Modern Armor, so I enjoyed that (8 4x MA armies pack quite a punch).
One new feature I'm not so fond of: at the end, after the replay (which now shows Golden Ages and Great Leaders generated - very cool) it tells you how much time you spent on the game. I really didn't want to know that I played for 18 hours, 31 minutes and 23 seconds, thank you very much.
I played as the Celts, and had a blast. Those Gallic Swordsmen are pretty badass units. The new buildings (stock exchanges/commercial docks) are ok, but I was already rich at that point. The Internet is an awesome wonder if you have a large continent (and I did).
The barbarian tactics aren't all that bad once you adjust to them, though I play on "roaming" usually. I guess on "raging" they would be a true pain in the ass.
Anyway, I just popped on to see if the Demo game was starting, and it looks to be a tad disorganized, so I'll check in again later.
