Hello everyone,
I just joined the forum, something I should have done long ago, being a hardcore Total War fan when Rome Total War first came out. I felt in love with this game, finally a strategy game with a realistic combat mechanic. Since then I completed campaigns with various factions (Scipii, Brutii, Greek Cities, Parthia, Carthage) and played both expansions (Alexander and Barbarian Invasion) and played MTW2 completing a campaign with the french (being one myself :P ). When I became a hardcore fan of the serie I started to be curious about the real tactics used by generals in ancient battles and I discovered a world that still fascinates me today. I mastered various type of combats (the infamous anvil and hammer, the full out missile attacks, the horse archers tactics, etc) and I always keep trying to find new ways of defeating an ennemy on the battlefield. I hope I will be ressoursful for people in help and I'm sure I will find new strategy to employs with the knowledge from this forum. I currently have nearly all games of the serie (RTW, MTW2 and ETW) and quite frankly, I'm not sure which one to play now. I liked MTW2 but this game kind of miss somethings that was cool in RTW ( got to hate the stupid pope thing and experiencing everything the campaign has to offer just take ages to complete one). I just saw that most people are still playing old installements of the serie so I might go back to RTW and play with the Europa Barbarum mod to complete the Baktria campaign I have started.
