Are we paying more for less?

Shogun:TW would have been more interesting if

- it didn't require very particular and sometimes quite dated drivers when played with an nVidia card
- it didn't completely break when I upgraded to Win2K from 98
- it allowed the disabling of the extremely absurd geisha super-assassins
- the AI didn't blatantly cheat with respect to knowing what your moves where going to be when it "simultaneously" planned its orders, getting information that was -impossible- for the human to get through any amount of spying
- one could both build and recruit in the same province at the same time
- cavalry archers could actually... shoot when moving
- they ever fixed the widely-reported and serious bugs with completely inexplicable routs
- it mattered what direction one attacked a river province from -- even if you attacked a province from ALL SIDES AT ONCE you still all started on the wrong side of the river at defended bridges

But I'll agree that the video sequences were decently well-done, and that the smoke from a simulated mini-Gettysburg with 1600 muskets was impressive, if completely FPS-demolishing at the time.
