Rome Total War official forums

[Taffy_is_a_Taff]

for the first time in months I decided to look at these.
Once upon a time they were full of entertaining and intelligent discussion.
Now they aren't, how did that happen?
Did CA crack down on forum members who dared say that CA were not the greatest thing since sliced bread, they could have been but they blew their chance?

I read a few posts, rolled my eyes alot and came back here.

I'd just been checking for official news of BI, nothing much at the moment.

They cracked down to the point that there was no reason to post there. People that actually knew something about the game quit posting there, so it is mainly the newbie masses. It never was really "highbrow" anyway.

As an example, I just looked and people don't even seem to be aware of the genesis of the 1.2 horse archer fix or its solution. Sad. The same old tired questions, and not many informed types to answer them.

[Steppe Merc]

Heh. Yeah, the 1.2 horse archers were a mess. Thank god you can trick them into thinking that they're javilen throwers, so they can work properly.

In the forum it's like a competition to see who can kiss CA's ar*e the most.

[Blodrast]

are there any prizes ?! ~D

[Taffy_is_a_Taff]

you could join in, win and tell us all.
I imagine the prize will be disappointing.

[Red Harvest]

are there any prizes ?! ~D

I've heard 1st place is a used thermometer (rectal.)

2nd place is a used tongue depresser.

3rd place is an old sock.

I used to be an active member there and when rome came out many, of the senior members left. There was just a huge influx of new members. People made threads to say hi im new here and stuff like that.

I stopped wasting my time with RTW ages ago ~;) I'll stick to VI if I'm going to play any totalwar.

Good one Blod . . .

Why is this in the backroom!!!!!???! ~:eek:

I see no politics or religion!!!!?!

[Papewaio]

Potential flamming of a group hence backroom.

[Beirut]

Because if it was purely peace, love and the joy of existential harmony, it would be in the Frontroom. :angel:

[bmolsson]

CA is a ethnic group, I guess...... ~;)

[Mongoose]

Yes, it is true. When some one says "Is there a fix for the horse archer bug?", some one will answer "Learn how to use them you n00b"

"Why do you have to unlock factions?" "For the same reason that you have to unlock characters in action games"
:dizzy2:

Or they might say "Stop cheating and unlock them the hard way"

:wall:


and every day some one asks the question "How to unlock fractions?" (Yes, they do spell it "fractions")

:dizzy2:

[Ser Clegane]

I see absolutely no reason why this thread should be in the Backroom. As we already had enough threads in the "Colosseum" complaining about RTW, CA or totalwar.com, I also see no reason to move it there and duplicate existing threads.
