Do you play GA

My first post http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/smile.gif

The GA is great- i like the way everybodies GA's mean they end up conflicting with each other at some point. I just wish there were more, or maybe special acheivement buildings/units? eg after three crusades build a super cathedral or hardcore knight? ... now that would be great - btw has anyone managed to complete all the GA's for the French?

Hi Dr_No welcome to theOrg http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wave.gif

I thought I had all the French GA's done once, only to discover I'd done 'cathedral' in Flanders (instead of IledeFrance). Gotta be more careful, I do. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif

Hi Dr No, welcome to the ORG http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wave.gif
I have played French in early a lot, try to build the krack of the crusader a lot of time (bloody egyptian&#33http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif, until my last try, I wich I was doing real weel until... well my hard drive crash, lost everything http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/mecry.gif ... Got to start again...
I managed to achieve a lot of goal jusr missing the krack of the crusader, I see some new GA apear, after like building a reliquary so I guess some new GA will came for each period, I didn't manage to go to the late stage a the moment

I assume you mean Krak de Chevaliers (sp?).

I just finished a GA game playing the Polish and every 25 years or so, an extra province seem to get added to the list with most of them belonging to someone else. It was a fun game though.

I only play GA, because i think is funner than nonsense conquests, buts its annoying all the bugs they have; it seems that a lot of the GA's don´t work properly, i cant get points with some factions; Also, some factions have more to do than others, i mean, french, english, germans, etc, have variety of GA, while others only can achieve points conquering or defending their mother country.

krak de crusaders is the tough one, glad to hear i'm not the only one with that problem (atime frames and egyptians don't make this easy)... currently heading to the holy land with a 2000 strong crusade http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ons/smokin.gif ... see how they like that http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/cool.gif

No I prefer to conquer the world

I know it is unrealistic but who cares if you have some fun http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif

fun for u, terribly boring for others... at least in GA conquests have a purpose...and u can conquer all the world in GA if u want; try it and u'll see its the same http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/smile.gif

Judging from the results of the poll, CA added a very good and popular feature to the TW series with the Glorious Achievements. A big thumbs up to the folks at CA Aw, what the heck, let's give 'em a head pat too http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/pat.gif

Now all they need to do is fix the infantile mentality of the AI.

The possibility of the AI accepting a ceasefire is directly proportional to it's chances of defending if you invaded. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...s/rolleyes.gif

I also prefer the Glorious Acheivments path , though as I play the 1092 mod now , that doesn't work with the Aragonese , Hungarians , Sicillians nor Novorogods {they have no actual goals and often CTD when you click on the GA botton , so world conquest for them ... unless Paladin has changed it since I downloaded the mod} .

It is still a little limited in scope , but I understand there are real limits to what can be done with current technology . What the creators of this game did , is take quite a few steps in an excellent direction .

Big thumbs up for GA and an end to having to be a power-hungry, violent warlord in order to win a game.

At last my byzantine emperor gets to lead the quiet life (if he's not a power-hungry, violent warlord- there's a time and a place for everything http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ons/tongue.gif )

Definately GA for me as I prefer more realistic and historical gameplay and having to attain targets within a given time is equally if not more challenging than bludgeoning your way across the world map

I pretty much play GA exclusively now. I'm trying it with the Brits right now, but I'm getting pretty depressed cuz they've got pretty lame achievements....WOOL MONOPOLY?? come on it's more like wool LAME-opoly

I said no. I don't play GA, but I'm not fond of world conquest either. I think MTW should borrow Europa Universalis' victory point system. It would work perfectly. The GAs could be used as a nother means of getting VPs though, so they could stay. For those of you unfamilar with Europa Universalis, the way you get Vps is just by successful gameplay. You get points for taking provinces, forging alliances, etc. This system would appeal to those interested in historical accuracy and those only interested in world conquest.

I played twice the GA perspective but i think the faction i choosed got some really difficult achievements so i gived up. Since then i've always play conquest the worls as it gives me pleasure to smash all the others. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/cool.gif

im trying one now. But how do you get more then 5 points as the danish. all the other factions are far ahead of me now

I always play GA mode now, but the Byzantines only get Homelands and Conquest points http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/frown.gif I was hoping for getting bonus points for kicking the barbarians out of Rome and restoring the old Empire http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif

Actualy I'm on the Pope's doorstep in my current campain so I might conquor it anyway and award myself 100 Glorius Achivement points http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/joker.gif

my first GA campain crashes all the time in 1233, I wont play GA anymore, Its so very annoying when you spend time on something that you cant complete.

And I havnt had a crash on a very long time in the normal campain.

Maybe you think its stupid not to play GA just cus first try crashed. Well I rather play in normal campain without crashes then i play GA with the risk that it crash.

Its only a waste of time with crashes and the life aint long enuff so i can waste my time like that.
