I think a September date would be reasonable but Im more then willing to let them carry on making the product to as good a perfection as possible. Rome total war was delayed by a year and my god was that an utter disappointment when you got down to the basic mechanics of it.
I love CMBB all this waiting for CMC has got me to make my own campaign system using BB and AK to fiddle about with while im waiting using a combo of robos qucik campaign excel file and my own grid map.
I will be playing CMBB and CMAK long after CMx2 and the next total war engine is released. This CMC was a suprise development that came out of the blue so really even if its cancelled tomorrow i can live with that. Its all a bonus as far as Im concerned if its pulled off and I get it delivered to my door and installed.
