M:tw/r:tw

I miss those massed assaults by AI (Mongols...and others). Im playing with byzantines. Its normal that they attack u with ultra large armyes. 900/4000 soldiers battles but in Rome...nooooo, they are attacking with only one army while other armyes are walking around trough the mother nature, enjoying.
Battles are also much more strategic and tougher on M:TW...Im always in fear of Mongols, Saracens but in ROME...there is no fear because enemy armyes are battling themself most of the time:)
In ROME I like graphic(3D units), movements trough campaign map, sieges and battles (if I ignore very very and very stupid AI and 7500-7800 bugs).
I also like revolts in M:TW and faction reapiring...

I fear that patched ROME will still be full of "bugs" and bugs!!!

i take it you havent found the egpytian horde yet?
be scared...be very scared.

I must say that Shogun (TW1) is still the best game experience from the TW series. Everything was new and the concept took you with storm. Even if the game has been improved, the "wow" feeling will require some pretty nifty innovations.... ~;)

I do think there are less of the massed horde opportunities in Rome - i remember defending rome from the popes' troops and filling the breach in the walls with his dead, mmhahaha (or at least I would have, if M:TW had the advanced graphics of Rome and bodies were able to pile up...quite an impressive sight) i guess we will have to wait for a patch for some of these problems, which I am sure are fixable
