I've been a huge fan of TW franchise since the very first shogun. Shogun 2 was the first one I prepurchased and damn that launch was horrible. Terrible UI design, bugs and crashes all over the place. Figured I'd never prepurchase CA game again and I'm glad I didn't. I thought that it couldn't get any worse but after seeing videos and lurking forums I realized I was wrong.
Some problems I've noticed:
- Horrible performance on some setups
- Some units are game breakingly bugged (or even worse, designed in this way)
- AI is either retarded or just bugged even on hardest difficulty
- Simultaneous turns on coop is not possible
- Ladders are bugged
- Team matchmaking is bugged
- Crashes after battles
- Save games getting corrupted
etc.
Perhaps I grab it from sale 6 months from now.

Just do not buy it. Wait for it to be 60% off some time in the future(Because it will be, that's how shit this game is), and buy it then.
For me, I will definitely be pursuing a refund through Steam on the basis that this game is falsely advertised.

LOL those screenshots are fucking epic
