I am a player who like challenges and tried many different approaches with many factions. I started my first campaign on VH/VH and had not tried anything less than that difficulty since.
At first I was just browsing the forums for quite some time. Then, as I read more posts about how single player campaigns are "difficult" and some players giving wrong advice to other players on how to play a particular faction. That had my blood was boiling and that made me register and immediately post the most "efficient" way to play a particular faction. The few factions that I consider worth posting were NUMIDIA and PARTHIA. You can see most of my postings there.

Well I had bought the game Rome and wanted to read various opinions on how other people played certain factions.

And so while looking for a guide of some sort I arrived here and found all that I was looking for.

First thing I ever read here was froggy's guide, after that I signed up and started posting in the guides section, after that moved on to the colosseum and then moved on to the tavern where I post up to this day.

Typed RTW guides in a google search. I found Quietus' Guide to RTW, and from there found the Org. I read Frogbeastegg's Guide to RTW and was hooked immediately. I enjoy talking with the great folks I've met at this forum.

Found Quietus' Guide on google, and I then noticed that not every comment underneath it was misspelt. Rare for an internet forum, so I joined.

I joined to ask a question about the LMM for MTW modding. It was my first post on an internet forum, let alone a modding guides one, and when I didn't get a reply in one day I decided to sulk, checking back every so often to see if someone had replied. Then a few days later someone else asked a question in the same thread, I replied saying not to bother, ask at the .com instead they actually respond. :smile: That certainly brought the down the Thunder of the gods:

Sorry I know how frustrating it can be to have no answers so I'm going to say:

I don't know

(try posting at the .com forums they answer more often there) http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-jester.gif

Really? did you find topics like this over there? oh I guess not thats why your here, I dont like statements as immature as this , this community of modders is the best around bar none again another judgemnt form a patron with 8 posts, spend more time and get to know people here and you will find them to be most helpful indeed, dont prejudge ~:angry: ...LOS

Yes I really was an ignorant brat :evilgrin:

Since then I learned to appreciate that the Modding community here was (and still is :wink:) the most skilled and helpful out there, and I've been hanging around ever since.

I came here following a link from the http://p223.ezboard.com/bshoguntotalwar site

I like the many pictures. Perhaps a bit more play oriented than the other three forums I am active on.

What I really like is that good research has its permenant place. It doesnt scroll away to be lost forever like it does on other forums.

Quick question when people talk about “the .com” do they mean totalwar.com

Yes. "the com" as against "the org"

Also, much as I'd like to be able to be directed to websites with prophetic dreams, I'm afraid my actual explanation is a bit more mundane. I found the link at the com. *cough*

I think I was at the .com and someone mentioned this forum. Then I came and saw it was way better than the .com and way better than any other forums really, so I stayed and here I am. 2000+ posts and loving every minute of it!

I find it amazing how I can find friendship in all these elders. *cough* rotorgun *cough*:2thumbsup:

For the life of me, I still don't remember how I found this place. I probably stumbled across the link while I was visiting the .COM, but I'm just guessing at this point! I just know I'm glad I decided to pay a visit; I liked it here so much I just hung around all the time. ~;)

A reference in a German RTW forum. International forums usually have a larger audience - and therefore are more likely to contain useful information. That aside, I like keeping my English in use.

The fact that I wanted to get Sith into some 'larger' TW communities. (I acutely signed up in all TW forums, though, the .ORG was the only one that sticked me here. Mature people and forum's organization just puzzled me).

i started posting in the colloseum. and after some mayham and havoc they tightened the rule with a new mod. so i moved to the frontroom and from there to the the backroom for a short period. when the rules also tightened over there i decided to take a brake. and now I'm BACK :D

05-03-2006, 22:41

I wanted to see if there's some new stuff with the game. I was also bored on a weekend and wanted something new to do, so I came here and here I am!

I came here following a link over at totalwar.com - as far as comparisons go, this forum is definitely prettier, but I've received great advice (and hopefully passed some on, also!) in both forums. I regularly read and enjoy both.

I known .org for ages, I came here to go to a MTW clan site I used to go to in March 2004-Setember 2004 (when RTW came out,and March till then was my MTW career dates)

Lurked here for a while linking from totalwar.com. Only joined last October after at least a couple of years of just viewing the forums. Haven't exactly set the world alight with the number of posts I admit :embarassed: .

Seems to be the sort of place to talk intelligently about the games rather than resort to random whining which I've seen on plenty of other gaming forums.

Well you all have a point.
But the guild is so much more my friends.

It’s a place were people from all over the world give their views on matters at hand or past.
When you have the patience and right interests you will find a whole other world laying at your feet’s.
And when you feel you have explored the game forum well enough, I’ll be delighted to invite you both to the tavern.
Watch out for the backroom though.
You must always be prepared before entering that place.
:bow:

This is what happened to me anyway.
I came here because I had a problem with Rtw.
Now I can’t stop myself from entering the org.

I came here via Google after a technically inept friend showed me the game but also informed me that he could not figure it out and that it was "impossible to play".

So I aquired the game (just vanilla MTW) and a quick search on the net

:book: :book: :book: :book: :book:

Trial and error and now the is not impossible - just really hard.

Soon the world will be mine... *evil laugh*

What made me come.... uh... oh... ah yes... what made me come here....???

I lurked around at the Org since STW, but only been active when MTW came out. The .com site used ezboard and is a mess (sorry, but it is true, it is my personal opinion) and the later .net was also a mess. This is the place for total war gaming community :)

Now am returning to this community after 2 long years of absence (with intermittent posts).

I was lurking a while back looking for game info on MTW VI. When I got back into the game after being on other gaming forums I found their was a wealth of information about MTW. I also had a CTD to glitch that I solved and wanted to share with other members who were having the exact same issue. I wish I could say it called me from vision.....

I've been lurking here since 2003. I joined up in 2004 but have hardly posted anything. Got into a spot of bother with the mods due to a few of my, not so subtle, posts in the backroom and elsewhere then disappeared for a while. I've been at .commie ever since but I'm finding the deluge of spam, the M2TW mania, the ridiculous word filtering, and the constant closing of topics for no apparent reason, a little wearing now. I may hang about here for a while and see how things go. :2thumbsup:

I'm not exactly sure how I got here, but my intentions were to browse the forums for advise, eventually I couldn't get all the answers I needed just by lurking and using the search function so I set up my account and started asking questions.

I haven't played MTW or RTW in a few months and lately I've probably been posting only once a week, but for some reason every time I turn on my computer I have to check the .org forums.

I ran into SCC some time before the .org, mainly because I was looking for Civ related stuff. Somewhere I ran into a link to the .org, which I immediately took a liking to, as it lacked the l33t crowd ... and so, after several months of lurking, I decided to join.

At least, I think that's what happened, I don't exactly remember.

I went to the .com and found the patches, got the link to frogeggbeast's excellent MTW guid (Ever notice how all her guids are called excellent. Sort of like Alexander of Macedon being remembered as Alexander the Great. ~D)

Anyway, I got the link to this place form the guid, or form the .com. I can not remember for the life of me. And I started lurking for about a year year and a half. Reading up on tactics and how to use units.Finally decided to join and post my thanks to BKB for his spiffy mod, but had to await the day till I can get full membership before then.. I still need to do that. :sweatdrop:

I was aware of the Org as a powerful presence in the STW/ MTW/RTW world and I was a little intimidated by the forums size and (apparent) complexity being new to the computer.
I came over for a few downloads, chiefly the excellent Bushface-FrogBeastEgg sheets.
Then the Gold Edition thing came up and barocca sent me here via another forum. I decided to help give it a push from here.
Really glad to be here now.
