Trying to answer your question constructively as I have played both and must admit I tend to agree. The MTW battles though similar to Shogun have too many 'factors' about them. They are still fun when they work and this is where the main problems lie. There are so many silly online bugs that after sitting at your pc for 3 hours you'd be lucky to have played a single game. As I already stated when things run smooth there is great fun to be had. I was counting on having fun playing as Golden Horde but they have been made so weak its a joke.
In MI we are lucky because we all have the same unit choice and therefore we have the same chance. As we all know MTW has strong and weak factions http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/dizzy.gif and I still can't work out why. So I would just say a working MTW is fun but STW/MI is more fun.
The next thing I would suggest is that people try the 103 stat Mod. If you want to see epic battles this is your passport. Many times we have been battling for an hour or longer in 3v3 and 4v4. Everything is so well balanced and there is no need for the 4 max no Ashi rule. I guarantee you will like it

I don't know why but some people seem to be reluctant to use 1.03 stat Mod.
It's as if 1.02 is the only playable stat.
From experience I can confirm Orda's comments.
Some battles have lasted an hour and been quite mind blowing.
Personaly I would like to see more people using the 1.03 stat.
Perhaps this will answer the players who keep asking others to join their games and getting a poor response. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/idea.gif
I play both stats but prefer 1.03. I also enjoy 1.05 stat for Mongol battles. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I'm always going to read it Mist http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Have no fear though - STW/MI are still my favourite However, I have to get some practice in on MTW right now... big things coming up http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

[dragonchi]

WOW great response already ...... glad Im not the only one .... hopefully there will be many more. Jochi I knew I would see you here.

I think one of the reasons why people dont use the 103 stat is because they either dont have it, dont know where to get it, or dont know how to use it.

So everyone if you dont have it, download and instal it (Stat Swapper 3)

Stat swapper 3, click here to down load (http://www.totalwar.org/Downloads/STW/stats/StatSwapper3.0.zip)


If your useing Windows XP then you will also need this

Bat file reader, click here to down load (http://www.totalwar.org/Downloads/STW/stats/WinXP-Bat.zip)

Installation instuctions are provided.

Lets try to convert ...... if for any other reason I getting tierd of have to ask "Rules" .... "4 max what ?" blablabla http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

(thanks to tosa)

If any of the above is incorrect please let me know.

I'm a "Sunday Sam", but I always check the Sword Dojo and I will keep promoting the game.

I love to play a few 1.03 battles this Sunday http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Great to see you post here Kas http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif ..... lets liven up the sword dojo ....... Great work with the Sunday Sam

[NagatsukaShumi]

I prefer Shogun because of it's setting and the opportunity to fight as real Daimyo like Uesugi Kenshin etc., MTW is good but I just prefer Shogun, mainly because I like Oreintal/Asian warfare.

[Vlad The Impaler]

i like SHOGUN more than M:TW too for the same reasons with
NagatsukaShumi;
also i think that this game should be sacrosant http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[Orda Khan]

Just to let you know I've uploaded 14 maps to the Org http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif They are not all new but they are the complete list of my maps........to date that is http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

IMHO ...

there are players who love STW(MI or not),
there are players who love MTW,
and...

there are A LOT of players who think that they love
more MTW only because it is a new game.

I don't see big differences between the two games, but :

- for me, Shoguns animation and battles are better.
- strategic map is better : I don't like having an army of emissaries, princesses, spies ... on the str. map. bah
- I LOVE samurais and Sengoku Jidai, and I am not a fan of European Middle Ages (of course, my opinion once more).

I have played MTW for 1,5 week only, then uninstalled it and reinstalled STW:MI.
Nothing more to say.

(I have reinstalled MTW now, but still play/prefer STW)
