[Ben]

Hi. My name's Ben. I'm English but live in a place called Mauritania (immediately south of Morocco on you MTW campaign map). I played STW when it came out but seem to have lost the CD. I now have MTW on my office computer here and am hooked. I have a soft spot for the Almohads as I live in with their descendants, however at the moment I'm playing a campagin with the Spanish and trouncing the Almohads in the desert. I'd like to try RTW although I'll have to wait for someone to visit from England or the US so I can get them to bring it with them. It could be a while.

[Ottos]

Welcome at the .org Ben ~:wave:

[Microwavegerbil]

Hello! My name is Eric, but my online alias of "Microwavegerbil" has remained the same for a good many years now. I live in Winter Park, FL and currently attend University of Central Florida while also working as a waiter.

I played a bit of Shogun and enjoyed it pretty well, although MTW was the game that truly captured my heart. Although I eventually became bored with the ease of the SP campaign even on VH, my discovery of the medmod a year or so ago kept the game fresh for me and keeps me coming back after I wear out on my new games. I own Rome: TW but even with RTR I couldn't really get into the campaign, the AI just doesn't handle the campain map like it does in MTW.

[The Darkhorn]

Hey everybody,

I've actually been reading this forum for 6 months and never got around to joining (how wude). So, I'm familiar with some of you already although you don't know it. I've finally played several games of MTW and then VI and am itching to post. So, I play MTW:VI with no mods...and always GA. I was a History/Bible major in college so I prefer a historical type game. I actually bought the game on a whim knowing nothing about it...and now think it's the most entertaining game I've ever played. It even beats out my vast collection of boardgames.

I'm 32, live in Jackson, MS, USA and work for the US government. As to the name "The Darkhorn" ........well, if I remember correctly there was some Avalon Hill game by that name (actually only "Darkhorn") that I saw in a catalog as a teenager. It was some type of RPG I think. Anyway, adding "the" sounded menacing, so there you have it.

My favorite factions to play are the French and the Poles, but I'm currently in my first Byz campaign more or less getting ready for the GH. Well, that's the intro. Nice to finally get off my bum and join. Y'all (imagine my suthin' accent) are an entertaining bunch of folks!

[The Darkhorn]

I forgot to add that my first campaign was with Denmark. Elmoheads overran almost everything and kept turning my people into good little Saracens. I understood little about conversion at that time, but I did slaughter tons of them invading my territories (never actually lost one to them). I also didn't know what the heck those little scroll thingys were for. ~D Once, I figured it out I thought that gave real color to the game. The Danes would be my favorite faction (Huscarles with bronze shields and a +1 weapon upgrade will kick butt all the way into the Late era against most anything as long as properly supported) if they could Crusade. It wasn't till I read some stuff on this forum that I figured out what the friggin' problem was. So, the Pope can kiss my sweet putushki....I go on Crusade anyway!!!! I don't need him to conquer outremer. My lads know what we did!

[Antagonist]

Welcome, The Darkhorn ~:cheers:

I also read this forum for a long time before joining, it seems strange but it also makes things a bit easier and more familiar. Nice description of your campaign, too. ~:)

[matteus the inbred]

wow, thanks very much. i've only been playing MTW for a couple of months but already i have a nervous twitch whenever i hear choral voices (the Pope, the Pope, he's coming to get ya!). i'm english, and am a ShogunTW veteran as well as Cossacks and anything with tanks and soundtracks by Frank Klepacki.
i look forward to posting my many misfortunes (mainly involving crusades and an adamant refusal to use cheesy tactics and unit spamming) for the amusement and dissection of such worthies as yourselves...
remember, no one expects the Spanish Inquisition

[Ottos]

Welcome to the org matteus the inbred.
Btw do you mean STW multiplayer?

Hi, Darkhorn!

Hi yourself! I would like to thank everyone for being so friendly and accomodating (or is it acommodating?.....a comode dating?).....~;)

[Microwavegerbil]

Yes everyone is quite nice, though my only disappointment is that most of the topics I want to reply to are in the Medieval section of the forums. It's not a problem, I just don't wanna spam pointless posts or anything in the other sections.

[Proletariat]

Gerbil, although it's kinda frustrating at first, that's the Org's way of keeping the riff-raff out, I believe. You should be promoted to member soon and then you can wander about freely.

In the mean time, you can ask your M:TW questions around here and if you don't get your promotion fairly soon, just clamor a bit and someone should take care of you, since the mods are very reasonable around here.

[Seyfullah]

Hello, I'm new to the forum(only 2 days) but I have been reading the threads about RTW. First of all, I would like to welcome those who joined before and those who will join after me.
I am from Turkey but I live in the US. I came here 4 years ago. I am 16 and an 11th grader in Houston.

I like to play soccer,basketball,volleyball,table tennis, and especially TOTAL WAR Series(even thought I didn't get to play STW yet).:charge:

[Kickius Buttius]

Hello, new to the Guild. I bought Rome Total War about two weeks ago and don't think I have slept since. I rarely read forums on the web or worry about mods, but have found myself into both with this game!

I'm looking forward to reading more of everyone's ideas on strategy and tactics.

If I can manage to eek out a win with the Spanish using the medmod on hard, I'm going to make a post documenting my empire's rise to glory. :medievalcheers:

[Julii Josh]

Hi, No new posts in here for a few months but I'll introduce myself anyway. My name is Josh, Julii Josh. I'm from Atlanta Georgia. Had Rome TW for about a year now, but just started playing it heavy for the last month or so. I'm addicted to it I'll have to admit. Got a few questions to ask but here is not the place and I cant post yet in the other areas, so I'll wait until I become a member. Never played multiplayer yet, I want to beat the single player first, but when I do I'll be sure to look some of you up.

Thanks

Josh

[Craterus]

Welcome Julii Josh ~:wave:

Until you become a member, you can post any questions here in the Entrance Hall. :rtwyes:

[Julii Josh]

Thanks Craterus

I'm playing the Julii faction on normal difficulty and things are going ok, but I've got several disturbing trends arising. I think the year is around 207 BC. I've wiped out the Gauls and the Spanish. Scipii and I have taken most of the Dacians out and I just took my first Briton settlement.

The cities around my capital, which I haven't changed the location of yet, are very hard to keep happy. I must keep my taxes at low and even give them monthly games sometimes to keep them at 100 happiness. Squalor is pretty high because of population but I dont know of any other way to reduce it besides train peasants and march them to low population settlements and disband them. I've built all the sanitation buildings I can, but these people are almost impossible to please.

Also I'm not getting nearly enough decent governors, and some settlements could benefit from a governor with good management skills. How do I get more governors?

Lastly all the settlements I took from the Gauls in Western Europe are losing money to corruption big time, that and I've got a rebel Army hanging around somewhere causing devastation. I'm going to try to move my capital a little to the West to curb the corruption, and would building watchtowers keep rebel Armies away? Also does enslaving settlements as opposed to extermination and occupation cause rebel armies to appear?

I've found a ton of information in the guides, but just wanted some help with these specific questions.

Thanks for your time.

Joshua

Not a problem, my friend. But you might want to "duplicate" most this post in the Julii thread in RTW Guides.

Your peasant training/moving/disbanding trick is very useful and effective. Another way to treat squalor is to knock down all the farms in your settlement. These only increase population growth and it means more and more people to contend with.

You can get governors from Man Of The Hour (MOTH). MOTHs occur when a captain led army achieves a good victory against comparable opponents. These won't always get you MOTHs though. The more effective way of getting governors quickly is to bribe them. Bribe all generals in sight, I'm sure you're probably quite rich at this point, so go for it. They'll be worth the money, I hope ~;)

To combat corruption, move your capital to the most central point of your empire. Watchtowers won't stop rebel armies appearing, they'll just let you know where they are. I'm not sure about the effects of "occupy/enslave/exterminate" on rebel armies, but I think that might just be random.

Hope I helped. And once again, welcome to the forums ~:wave: I hope you're enjoying yourself.

howdy, one and all. found this place after getting MTW a while back, and it's gotten me through some of the worst times (Parthia...). i'm chris, known to friends as 'Old Man'. as a historian and strategy gamer, i've been an avid total war fan since i bought the medieval collectors set two years ago...i think it was...:P

anyway, before i ramble more and bore you all, i'll just say that i'm here to jump in on some of the strategy threads; but also, i'm hoping that, eventually, i can get some help tweaking rome's unit roster. even with the guides here, i've only succeeded in crashing the game after god knows how many hours failing. so this is me in a nutshell

I`m a new convert to MTW,and addicted.Simple as that.
Only on my second campaign(BYZ) I hope to complete some of the harder factions on higher levels and then ideally play online.
Grand site by the way,I`ve read some of the tales that people experience with different factions so obviously i`ll be boring you with a complete history of my first ever campaign on easiest level very soon.(in right section!)

Thanks everyone! Onor`e valore:knight:

I have to give credit,I`m amazed by the content of the forums.
I was unaware of the golden horde`s impact on the game until I read the relevant thread(I`m byzantine and it`s 1213) so I could count myself lucky.
Unfortunately haven`t mastered the basic skill of saving the game regularly yet and late last had one of those "just one more year" moments and was sucked into a hour long battle (pause happy) and therefore later to bed than I already was.................ok enough!

Hope to see you all soon.

I can try to pursue a few other "Shogunists" along who would like to try MP...I'll stay as active as I can as a junior member on the forum and I'll let you know immediately when I'm ready try fighting as a punching bag! :bow:

p.s. Have a nice weekend everyone!

[Ottos]

Ok vjana ~D

What you've got to do first for mp will all be in the subforums and there will be plenty of info. I'll just give you a simple explanation, first you've got to patch v1.02, that will change units stats a bit, we use it in mp. Then you've got to go to the file: program files >> totalwar >> shogun tw >> internet.cfg. This is a notepad file, you've got to delete all text in it and copy:

ChatserverIPAddress = ShogunTW.no-ip.info
ChatserverPort = 8793
NewsserverIPAddress = daphne.eagames.co.uk
NewsserverPort = 8797
ShogunTotalWarWebsite = dflw.2ya.com

this in it... It's got to be done because the official server isn't running anymore so we use Shambles' fakeserver. Then you can go multiplay in shogun. If you can't get logged in the server (could happen, especially with windows XP I think) then you've got to tab 'enter' all the time when clicking on proceed to log in. When this all doesn't work you can read the threads handeling this, or ask the experts. ~:)

I hope to see you in the foyer soon ~:cheers:

Hello all,
I am 42 years old going on 14(according to my wife). I have children older than some of you, so I guess that makes me an old geezer.I work as an equipment repairman for an electric company. I live in Louisiana in the USA. I love MTW, haven't played RTW. i have been lurking around the board for a while now but never had a question that wasn't already asked by someone else( usually better written than I could have). i usually check the board while i am at work programming a control for a piece of equipment. This is a great board.

I live in Australia - grew up in New Zealand but moved here a few years ago. I'm in my late twenties. I work in IT (as a computer operator on S/390s). I love computer games, especially strategy, but most other kinds as well. I only recently got into the Total War games. Medieval Total War is great, but Rome is even more fun IMHO... can't pull myself away for the computer when playing it ~:)

Hi all,

I'm a 26 year old grad student in Iowa. Been playing MTW for almost a year but haven't bothered with Rome. Right now I'm playing unmodded 2.01 after taking a break from the game. I've found lots of good information here in the past, but just got around to registering today.

[Bohdan, Lord of Courland]

Hello,

I am a 16-year old who currently does not have a working profession (school student I suppose?). I am a Pole but I currently live with my family in the southern part of Sweden known as "Scania" (you can conquer that province in MTW XL ~;) ) ). I have a very deeply rooted interest in history, and my favourite "era's" include the medieval era, the Rainaissance and post-Ranaissance eras (though I enjoy classical history too). I'm a semi-veteran of the good ole' game MTW ~:cheers: . I also enjoy playing some of Paradox's games, such as Victoria.

I've been lurking around here for a while, but I decided to register just yesterday. I hope that this little spam post didn't cause too much trouble :bow:

Welcome Bohdan, Lord of Courland,

We have an abundant resource of Poles and Swedes over here.

[The Darkhorn]

Welcome to all new members. It seems that many of us lurk around the board for a while before bothering to join. Like RebelYell said, a lot of times you can find the answer to your questions. But eventually, you just can't stand it and want to contribute to discussion and participate, etc. So, welcome, welcome, welcome!

~:cheers:

A round for everyone! Well, for me anyway I guess, but y'all can pretend too.

Welcome to the Org, Bohdan!

Hello,

You can find a better intro of me in my 'intro/questions' topic in this folder. Basically though I'm British, and will get my first taste of rome total war on December 25th :D

[teja]

Hello @all:

I am using that forum since a couple of days already, but missed to use the correct entrance which I want to correct now. Sorry for the damage I made while not ringing the doorbells.

I am a bloody German which loves to play historical strategy games. I am a fan of the TW-series since ages and use to play the Sassanids now after some Barbarian fractions in RTW:BI. As you may see at my nick I love the setting of BI. Teja (or Taia) had been the last ancient king of the Ostrogoths and got killed in action against overwhelming Byzantine armies. Now its time to pay back that old bill

PS: Thanks for becoming a member now. I wrote this yesterday just as the forum went down :)

Ave, teja,

It`s never too late to introduce yourself. Have fun with your promotion.

Hello All. I have been looking at this mod for some time and it has been showing some pretty good progress, so mush so it made me even go out and get RTW -BI.

I wish each and all of you a happy holiday! Happy Gaming!

Warm greetings and well-met to all. ~:wave:

This thread is 40 pages and over 1,000 posts long, making load-times longer than they need to be - especially for our dial-up bretheren.

So we will cut it off here, and start another 'Introductions' thread.

To the hundreds of new members who've greeted us here in the past 6 months: Thanks! - we're glad you've joined us! ~:wave: New blood keeps our content timely, and our outlook fresh.

And to the dozens of regular members who have 'given back' to the Org by greeting our newest members: our profound appreciation and respect:bow: Helping new guys learn the ropes has marked this community as special for years. You enhance that legacy.

Mouzafphaerre,
That would be the Age of Vikings and Fanatics Total War. If it shapes up like RTR that will be quite a repectable feat.
