Only if the battlefield AI can give my generals fits, while keeping me happy.

I'm sticking with MTW/STW until I've seen all the reviews and comments. RTW was disappointing for me, so I for one will be waiting. Also I'd probably need a better graphics card as RTW is slow as it is.
By the time MTW2 comes out, I might be able to get a new rig.
Though I don't think I'll get it immediately. I'll wait for others to bravely go forward first. Need AI first and foremost, followed by... more AI. And a few niceties.
MTW AI isn't awesome, but I find it easier to overlook its flaws compared to RTW. :sweatdrop:
Yeah, if you want more information on MTW 2, I have the PCGAMER article. Just IM me and I will send you a copy of it. Due to powerhappy admins, I can't post it out here anymore. Personally, I had my doubts until I read the article. It looks like I will be an early adapter.
Those powerhappy admins! What do they think they're doing, trying to keep the law all the time? Gosh!

Lame
I have Shogan TW, Rome TW & Medieval TW all installed, but i only ever play Medieval TW. If I play Medieval TW II all depends on the campaign map, ill wait a couple of weeks for the game to come out, if it has the RTW style maps, then I probably wont get it. If it has the same style map as MTW has then ill be straight down to the shops!
I Hate the RTW Maps :furious3:
No
I was soo disappointed with what they did in RTW that I will wait til the reviews, bug reports, AI evaluations, etc. are in. As someone said above, after an ex pac and bug fixes I'll keep an eye on the bargain bins.
I gave VI a try after a year or two of not playing it. It was sort of embarrassing. I'm very much looking forward to MTW2.
I'm convinced that CA won't mess it up.
Your optomism is refreshing. I didnt go with RTW because it would take a new rig to play it. The way the Total War series has gone you really need high end rigs to play. I can live with STW graphics for enhanced game play(diplomacy) and better AI.Quote:

I think what will disappoint me the most is if CA listens to much to the crowd at the official forums. Everytime I go to take a gander of the suggestions being put up my eyes bleed.
Well iwill get it and if it runs ok on my PC i would definatly switch.I`ve played 64 games of MTW/VI including some of the BKB factions and i have never won on normal!I am doing much better on RTW/BI and have won a lot of games on medium/medium.I dont want to win every time but it seems pointless slogging away at MTW since i`ve had it since oct 2004!RTW is a much better game i think because the battles dont depend so much on how many stars your general has and you dont get the situation where 500 janisary hv inf take 30 minutes to kill 1 khataphract.Also in RTW a better equipt/armoured army can some times beat a larger army even with a 5 or 6 star general.when i was a table top wargamer 100 years ago i was into the ancient period especially the Greeks/Persians.However ive more intrest now in the medieval period so i wellcome this new game.Of course the big question is will it run.To run RTW ok i`ve set the virtual memory to 1.5 gb and lowered the building detail to lowest although im using the "quality setting with normal unit size.I dont have a 16mb sound card and only 128mb ram so i doubt it will run if they`ve upped the minimum requirements.Still ill get it anyway and when i can afford to upgrade my PC i will.Currently playing my 1st imperial campaign as Macedon and its mindblowing.Have Greece ,Asia Minor,Syria,all the scythian territory.At war with Rome,Germania,Dacia and Carthage.Hate those smug romans with their artillery and pretorian cohorts etc.......thats enough rambling
the kalifah of watton.:2thumbsup:
i'll buy MTW2 just for suport the TW-series(Don't like so much...)
I Wait & hope for STW2
:)
STW 2, now thats a great idea considering how good the first 1 was, it made the total war series.
Same here, Shogun 2 now that would be awesome. I have RTW... plus 5 or so mods to make it interesting after a month. I made the mistake of getting MTW a year after it was released, and then VI also a year after it was released! :embarassed: I regretted that deeply...Quote:

One big Hell Yeah. I will buy the game when it first comes out. After reading the PCGamer article (If you want to read it as well, just PM me) as well as other online articles, it would be lame not too. Even to support CA would make sence and you must love the MTW game, if not then why be on this forum board?
Don't get me wrong, I almost never buy a game when it comes out but the idea to have one of YOUR bishops become the Pope, that alone is worth some foodstamps down.
Yeah, that's right, but it has no chance whatever, unfortunately.. Only a few people (I mean just a small percentage) are interested in the "dark" middle ages, especially if only Japan is gonna be represented.Quote:
