TW in your dreams

[crazyviking03]

A strange thing happens to me sometimes, and I was wondering if it happens to anyone else. I am in college, and majoring in History and Music Education = no time to play TW, except after midnight. After playing till around 1:30 or 2:00, I go right to bed. I will then sometimes wake up in the middle of the night, mumbling to myself about damn horse archers or giving commands to my nonexistent fake generals like watch the left flank, they have men at arms in those woods. I know it is just because it was the last thing I did before going to sleep, but I was wondering if anyone else experiences this kind of thing? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-computer.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-zzz.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-speechless.gif

[Aelwyn]

Yep, I've done it. While in class, I was falling asleep of course. Through my half closed eyes I could see the teacher walking to my left side. I tried to send some units I thought I had to the left flank to protect it from her attack. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-jester.gif

You are not alone

[vlad_demstra]

o god.. I thought I was alone.. funny how it happens tho aint it... makes u want to play the game more and more.

[AqConsul]

I usually just think about it in class. But when I am taking cold medicine, I have the TW Dreams. It is very wierd.

[Sociopsychoactive]

I don't do this myself, when I'm asleep atom bombs could go off and I wouldn't stir, I've regularly closed my eyes, opened them again to find that 8 hours have passed, and I didn't even flinch in the meantime.

My g/f, however, talks in her sleep. SHe generally plays the viking map, and several times I've decifered what she's mumbling as 'Hah Take that' and 'Beserkers CHARGE', but the funnies had to be 'Noooo, my mounted crossbowmen keep falling off their horses...'

She rarely knows about this in the morning though...

[lancer63]

I love that. Weird as it is. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Have you got 2 PCs ? you could battle together in MP.

[Mithrandir]

I dream of TW sometimes, not a fun experience.

I got up early one morning cause I HAD to play with my new russian army, was tired whole day http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wacko.gif

[crazyviking03]

Haha, Nice to see I am not alone. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-dizzy2.gif

[AqConsul]

So I guess you all play alot...

[crazyviking03]

Yeah, I play a lot, probably more than I should. When it comes down to sleep or MTW, MTW usualy wins... By the way AqConsul, nice tag http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/bigthumb.gif

http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif Welcome to the Org crazyviking. Sweet dreams... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-zzz.gif

[AqConsul]

Do you like the Bush one, or my Sig, I am guessing the Bush one. I may not always agree on his view, but not only was he wat we needed, and he is Texan. Thus you cant go wrong, with Bush for President in November 2004 (I dont mean to change anyone's views)

I dreamt i was playing RTW early.

and then i was playing Battlefield vientam early.


i almost cried when i woke up and realised it was just a dream.

[crazyviking03]

Thanks for the welcome Gregoshi, and yes, I meant your Bush tag AqConsul. I dont always agree with him either, but hey, no one is perfect. But, dont want to go OT. One time I had a dream that I was seiging a castle in MTW and I got killed by a shower of arrows, and then the crazy STW victory music started playing, hahaha. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wacko.gif

[Basileus]

[AqConsul]

I sometimes cant remember my dreams, but when I can I usually dont want to, or sometimes I do...I mean this when I look at Basileus's previous post...

HEHE :p

[Voigtkampf]

When I had to fight through all the battles from the Longest Year, I spent one entire evening fighting of rebels and reemerging Turks at Constantinople, and defended Ireland from the rebels. Went to sleep at 02.00 hours and woke up four hours later (back to work), all the time I was dreaming how my cavalry charged the enemy handgunners downhill.

The best thing, it was in color and a fat 3D dream, and I knew that while I was watching them, I was thinking There are more than just thousand of my soldiers. Much more.

So, that's my M:TW in 3D. Talking about weird dreams; times where I dreamed of bare-bosomed girls are long forgotten…

[R'as al Ghul]

Hey you sleepwalking berserks

Since I started to play Shogun Online,
I picked up the habit of gnashing my
teeth in the night again . http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
My Girlfriend hates it. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-furious3.gif
Guess I'm tryin to grind the last
Enemy troops. Chewing heads off, so to speak.
Cheers
(*gnash, gnash* http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-zzz.gif ..have to kill..*gnash*..all..)

Wow You have a girlfriend to play around with? I mean play MTW with ;)

[Sociopsychoactive]

Yep, she's the one who ought Medieval TW in the first place. Somehow I manage to mix lots of TW, talking to whole bunch of people online untill 3am most nights, AND having a g/f and two 3yr old boys. I think I might occasionally sleep, but I can't remember last time it happened. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-zzz.gif

[[DnC]]

I think I sorta had dreams about MTW and sometimes when going to sleep I also think about what I want to do next in my current campaign, complete battleplans so to speak, or which thing I want to add/alterate of my own personal mod (which is to my own liking). It's actually MedMod v2.04 with units added from v3.** plus many other alterations and additions (as in other new units) I've made myself. The unit stats for example are completely different from MedMod v3.14 and for example the Italians don't have Feudal nor Chivalric Sergeants, but Pavisiers and Italian Infantry (why use Chivs while Ita Inf is almost the same?).

I didn't like certain things about v3.** and decided to take what I liked about it and put it into MedMod v2.04 plus I've implemented many of my own thoughts and also ideas I've read from others on these boards. Though I do have (a) certain unit(s) that isn't/aren't historically accurate (fictious (Dutch Arquebusiers f.e.) - correct word?) mostlikely, but I might take them out later.

Wow I seem to ramble on about something it wasn't about http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[nightcrawlerblue]

I've never had a M:TW dream but I've had dreams about several other games. I guess I shouldn't play PC so much... Nah

[TheSilverKnight]

Yes, and Mum says she can hear me from 3 rooms away. I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night screaming No William Wallace defeated my army again http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/angry.gif and Mum says I am usually muttering something about my longbowmen. Oh well. Must've been from all the times I've played Stirling Bridge and Bannockburn in the Historical Battles http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[Monk]

I seem to remember waking up one night in mid sentence saying Their on the Right Flank as i realized that i wasn't playing TW but only dreaming i felt really stupid, seeing as how i woke up everybody in the house http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-embarassed.gif ...

[Goofball]

AARRRRGGG http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-furious3.gif If I have to look at that Bush/Cheney tag again I'm going to vomit.

AqConsul: Let me suggest a little light reading for you:

Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them by Al Franken and Dude, Where's My Country?, by Michael Moore.

Both of those books offer a perspective not often heard in North America anymore, given that Bush et al have done such a good job wielding 9/11 as a bludgeon with which to smash all unflattering media coverage of their administration...

By the way AqConsul, this is not meant as a personal attack on you, but when you have a tag like that, you have to expect some fairly strong reactions. Also, please allow me to apologize to everyone else for being so off topic...

[The_Emperor]

I have been heard mumbling about Longbows and charging cavalry myself... I was told that One time I even cried out Talar Intentity in my sleep. (I guess I have heard that just too many times)

Don't compare Bush to Hitler...


I had a dream the other night. I was playing MTW, except the campaign map was of Western Europe, and I had pirate units http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-dizzy2.gif Too much TW

[Sociopsychoactive]

Appologies in advance for going off topic, but I'll come back to it honest.

No, you shouldn;t compare bush to hitler. Hitler shaped a battered and recessing country into an economic and military super-power, and had the devotion and often love of the nation at times, aside from killing over 6 million jews that is.

Bush is far worse than hitler, while he may not have kileld 6 million (though he's still signing execution oprders for prisoners like they were credit card reciepts) he also hasn;t shaped a battered country into a superpower, he's taken a superpower and used it as he and his dad saw fit.

Anyway, back on topic, I don;t want to start a flame war honest,

I had a TW dream last night. I had looked at the sneak preview screenshots for Rome:total war before bed, and then chatted to my g/f about the battle of pelinor fields in LOTR 3 in bed.

Found myself leading a charge of war elephants against a vast army of orcs and goblins, very strange. We won though, but my elephant got a rock on the head.

[katank]

I had a dream last night that I was commanding a huge army of Turcomans and Armenian Heavy Cav. It may have to do with the early Turk game that I was playing.

Hmm. It was kinda bad in that my turcomans ran out of arrows though having thoroughly tired out the enemies.

then cam the weird part of my AHC charging into the enemies' rear and cutting down virtually everything in their path but then I met the kat general whose units never seems to die. For every one of them that I cut down, two seems to pop up and then everything became blurry as the field filled with angry kats and my AHC was forced to withdraw.

I was said to be heard across the house yelling no, damn kats multiplying GAH and woke everyone up.

they thought I was delusional but I knew better. Those kats were real, man they are real, I tell you http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/rolleyes.gif

LOL, so now you have seen into a crazed mind who plays way too much. wait a sec, no such thing as too much MTW, LOL.

[nightcrawlerblue]

Oh no... The dreams, they've started What could it mean?

Now that I've gotten over the shock that I dreamed about Total War I'll tell you about it. It was actually a dream about RTW and wondering what the General's view would look like. I commanded a band of Royal Knights. My opponent had a catapult that hit me then I woke up... It was very strange... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-anxious.gif

[Ludens]

Sociopsychoactive, please refrain from discussing politics here. Do it the tavern, that what it is for. You may not want to start a flame war, but if you keep repeating your point about Bush, this might end up in one.

AqConsul, I do not know if it is forbidden to have signatures with a political message, but I do know it rather large, so you may want to remove it.
The Org tries to be a non-fire zone and although I doubt that any Iraqi's are visiting this forum, they are not the only ones who dislike Bush.

[Iga]

Happens to me all the time

[Accounting Troll]

Yesterday I read a book that contained a picture from an early 15th century manuscript showing naptha archers being used in seige warfare, and I spent last night dreaming about using them in M:TW battles to rain firey death on my enemies. Maybe I'll try modding them into the game.

[HicRic]

Considering the silly amounts of time I spend playing Shogun I'm quite amazed this hasn't happened to me yet Who knows, maybe tonight I'll see sweeping cavalry charges and spearmen marching in formation in my dreams...sounds entertaining. ;)
