Hi All

total war games :charge:
it´s very impressive what you guys did... well i never tried out a mod and i guess i have to read myself thru your posts to find out how it works and i can´t await to play a shogun mod with the romeengine.... since i spent almost tooooo much time with those awesome total war games.
if i can help out with an "almost" objective opinion on new mods :book: let me know
:bow: to all the clever posters and modders ~:)
take care
Welcome. You will find that this si a pretty friendly place, except in the backroom, don't go there.Quote:

Some people may remember me from the MTW MP lobby, I did have an old account here but I cant retrieve the password or use my old name "Dhore".
I was in +ToD+ for a short while, but I frequented the MP of MTW quite a bit. RTW MP doesnt have the same feel at all and Ive only played there less than 5 times, too many abusive spammers and without an ignore button it pretty much makes the experience lame. Aside from that - I like RTW enough for it to take half my life away atm.
So ello all. :)
Hi all,
I Harald and I played a litle MP in MTW (clan BOD) under the the name of Hardrade - had a nick before this here on the org but there was a problem with the PW.
I am (not surprisingly) Elmar Bijlsma, I live in The Netherlands and have been posting intermittedly at the .org back in the days the Hojo Hordes first got discovered but damn me if I know my log in or password from them days. I could've sworn I posted here before without restriction with this membership though. Odd.
Oh well, could my account please be validated? Thanks!
Hi All,
Always been more of a lurker than a poster but still, here goes. I've been gaming since way-back-when: Darklands, X-COM, CIV, Colonization, BG1+2, IWD1+2, NWN, CoD etc, as well as all the Total War games. Now totally addicted to RTW.
It's good to see such an informative and well administered site, which seems to have a good atmosphere as well! (Which is why I stopped lurking and figured I'd show some support.)
Take care all...
Welcome new folks! ~:wave:
C-lingus: please check your PM inbox right away.
Elmar Bijlsma: if you will PM me with your 'old' username, we'll see what can be done to reactivate you.
Leporello: thanks for your support. We try to appeal to lurkers (readers), as well as the more active members. Still, it's good to get feedback, positive or negative, so we appreciate when folks who usually only read the forums, also speak up and introduce themselves.
I hope you all enjoy your time here.
I will like to introduce myself since I never did...or did I??
Well here goes, I am AggonyKing, previously known as IPainI_King, but I have succesfully achieved the tittle of Aggony. I been playing TW games eversince they came out, but due to my 56k, I never got into MP in Shogun, but I did in MTW, and RTW one day. I plan to go back to shoggy and play mp, so I'll be cheking out Tosas fake server instructions. Anyway that's me, and for some reason I cannot see any smilies :( to the right of the reply window
Hi, i have only just found this site, and was intested to see such a dedicated and active group of total war series players...
I have been playing total war for ages, single player on shogun, and then MP on mtw and sadly, due to having a less than good comp. i am yet to start rtw.
My mtwe user is {ME}Scurvy{G-II} although i dont think i know many of you "well" after looking at some of the posts
Just to say hi, and thnx the single player guides has been very helpful and enlightened me to many good diplomatic and subtle tactics (i prefer a more....aggresive foreign policy :charge: )
Welcome Scurvy :bow:
Hello i am new to mtw but have played many games similar to both the campaign and the battle just thought id introduce myself :scholar:
welcome, I have seen you in MTW ~:cheers: I hope you like this site :charge:Quote:

An ex-newbie ~;)

One more new member to the forums. I've been browsing for awhile, and thought I finally ought to join up. First time joining any forum, actually.
Currently a sophomore in college, planning on a degree in medieval history as that's always been my passion. Past experience with RTS games like Warcraft & Age of Empires, but in 2002 I got ahold of the demo for MTW and was amazed by the realism of the combat. Unfortunately, circumstances prevented me from going any further until October 2004, but I finally got my fix. It was a hard learning curve at first, as I didn't have the manual, but I got a lot of help from the forums, and hopefully now I may even be able to contribute something. Thanks to all.
don't you mean, an old newbie ~DQuote:

Take care all ~:cheers:
Hail, Just joined, thought i should drop in and Introduce myself. im not very good at this type of game so i may be visiting these forums quite a bit in the near future.
Hello ajaxfetish, Scarab, RedDragoBat! Welcome to the .Org ~:wave:
We're glad you're here, and look forward to your participation. Feel free to ask any questions you may have here in the Entrance Hall (where no topic is off-topic). Or just dive right into any of the game-related forums.
Cheers.~:cheers:
hello people of Rome (and visitors from faraway lands ~:) )
well I am from Miami , am 19 and I plan to visit this site very often ~:)
Greetings everyone,
Guess I better introduce myself, I've already derived a great deal of benefit from these forums.
I am a 46 year old, divorced, father of two (son 16, daughter 13). I love all kinds of games, card, board, rpg etc (played D&D when it first came out nearly 30 years ago lol).
I play a lot of PC and video games with my son (he's much better than me at the video games ~sigh~ I taught him everything I know when he was growing up and what does he do to repay me?? LOL)
Besides RPGS and such (2 everquest accounts) I love strategy and tactics. MTW has quickly sucked up most of my spare time *grin*
I am currently playing the initial release of MTW - and my first game. I started with the danish on normal. Been using save games a lot - trying different things and seeing how stuff works (tried killing the pope once...)
I just purchase the battle collection. As soon as I finish this game I will install it.
I've learned a great deal just by reading these boards - thank you all for the cumulative/collective knowledge you have shared.
So far I have been really amazed at this community - I've played lots of different games and used forums and newsgroups etc over the years - and so far this bunch of people is one of the best I have met. Thank you for letting me be a part of it - I will contribute what I can
DE
(looking for a sig)
Welcome on board, Deus Ex! I see we have certain experiences in common. My two boys are 9 and 7 years of age, and the oldest is already a threat to me at various games. The little fascist is going to have his college funding plan scrapped if he goes on like this... :sneaky:Quote:

I'm sure you will. Try to make some longer posts on strategy and tactics, try to help some n00bs, stay out of the rare flames we have here (that shouldn't be too hard for a genuine adult like you) and you will be promoted to full membership soon enough.Quote:

Hi! I have really enjoyed the board plus all of the great post on it. Picked up RTW in December, and have been learning ever since. Very, Very Addicting.
So far I have done upgrades to my pc which include a sound + video card. SB 24Bit and Powercolor 9250(256MB) via nvidia FX5500(128MB). I've been bit and bit hard.
Anyway, hope I can contribute to questions members might have. I saw my first earthquake this last weekend. 123BC.
Hi Jrutnet. At least you're not joining the .org to find a cure. You wouldn't stand a chance. If you want a break from Rome, there's Medieval and Shogun Total War waiting for you.Quote:

My first computer was an Atari video console (the one with no keys and a strip of plastic wood on the front) and I’v been hooked on games since then.
My knowledge of history is patchy to say the least, I have no idea how these Mods work and my computer is so slow that I dare not venture to play a Multiplayer game, I think that I stand to learn a lot from this site!
Welcome Codnchips ~:wave: (love the name). You'll fit right in here, with that background. Mods are still a mystery to me as well. (Note: I highly admire the guys who do the mods). I can honestly say that the Multiplayer experience makes the TW games a whole 'nuther animal.
Greetings all Lords and Ladys, Knights and Knaves, patrons and Peasants.
I look forward to interesting discussions and a sharing of useful (and ok, somethkems meaningless) information.
I've been remiss in stopping by the EH to say hi to our new members, been busy blah blah blah
Welcome to the Org
May you find it as enjoyable and informative as I have

Hi! Read one of the first post and decided to get out in the light ~;)
I'm a 27y French and Canadian (not French-Canadian ~D ) who's having ton of funs with MTW and MTW:VI. In fact, one of my friend bought the 1st one and I never was able to find it in order to give it back to him *grin*
I love FPS and Statregy games, and I'm about to try out some mods for MTW, I'm sure I won't be disappointed ~:)
I'd like to say a big thank you to all the mod and members of thes boards, for they are one of the best I've seen in some years ~:grouphug: . Also,a special mention to the dedicated people who've put together the different guides, especially lady Frostbeasteggs, who's done a terrific job.
That's all for now ... I'll try to post more often... I'm too comfortable in shadows for my own good ~;)
Bienvenu Repone! Try to keep your promise and post more often, if only to help newcomers who need a hand getting started. Have you tried S:TW yet? It's the oldest of TW games, but thanks to its landcapes, weather, and general atmosphere it's in a category all of its own.
Enjoy now! :charge:
Thank you Adrian
I'll get my hands on a copy sometime soon ... when I'll have a bit more free time than now (probalby try RTW also, just for the sake of it .... so much fun to have, so little time :dizzy2: )
BTW love the spell check .. nice tool for poor lonely strangers like me ~:)
There are no poor strangers on this board, only welcoe ones!Quote:

I rather like the idea of having a Pope for an adopted name on this board, since the Pope in the game is without a doubt the most hated figure of all.
Be sure to buy S:TW whenever you can. It costs a mere 5 bucks these days so if you're disappointed it's hardly a rip-off. This board started soon after Shogun Total War came out, and initially the etiquette in the forums was very much in style: polite, considerate and respectful. We hope to maintain thattradition; there are enough boards out there where people can flame to their heart's content. Instead of calling each other Honourable like the Japanese samurai of old used to do, M:TW adepts might call each other Venerable in true Medieval style.
So, Venerable Repone, tell us the meaning of your name if you wish. :knight:
Well Venerable AdrianII (sorry for last time, I'm a lazy typist on-line ~D ), my name is not so peaceful, but it is still a tribute to some great men betrayed, in a way at least, by their own country. RepOne stands for 1er REP, 1er Regiment Etranger Parachutiste. It was an elite regiment of the Foreign Legion . Based on what was left of the BEPs (Bataillon Etranger Parachutiste)after the war of Indochine. It incorporated the best soldiers of the Legion, profesionnals amongst professionals - was the single most decorated regiment in his short years of existence, I think) and was used to plug the gaps or hold in check difficult and rebellious regions of Algeria. The regiment, based in the city of Sidi-Bel-Abbes (the home of the Foreign Legion at the time), was disbanded by De Gaulle in 1962, never to be mentioned again, after a failed putch by some of his officers named the revolt of the centurions (again, tribute to the history of the Roman Legion here). I won't talk about politics here (verboten if I'm not mistaken ~;) ) nor the reasons why I feel they deserved a tribute, at least not in public. pm me if you want. To finish the short history lesson, I've used this nickname before I even played on-line in chatrooms.Quote:

So you did, Venerable Repone. I am quite familiar with France's années moins glorieuses in the late 1950's and early 1960's and I can imagine why you feel attached to that regiment even though I may not share some of your views or experiences. This board is about games, not politics, and you are a wise man to separate the two. Good to have you on board.Quote:

Hi to everybody on this very nicely maintained and staffed forum!
Greetings to you Browning, quoter of 'the Gipper'. Welcome to the .Org ~:wave:
Greetings to you Brow...
Darn it, Kukrikhan beats us to it all the time! Anyway welcome Browning! We have nice members, too. One of them is Mouzafphaerre who is going to salute you any time now - he's our free lance pirate and Keeper of Mediterranean seals. Never mind, you'll find out by yourself.
What's your game - S:TW, M:TW, R:TW or all of them? :charge:
Hi, i'm not really new to TW and I have been reading up on the forum for quite a while.
However, it did take me long time to find the effort to sign up.
I'd just like to introduce myself :bow: .
The effort to sign off again would be superhuman, my friend. Welcome to the .org! Tell us something about yourself and the games you play.Quote:

Ore-wa Irinami da!
I'm Irinami here, there, and everywhere. I'm primarily a hex-wargamer, but I grabbed Shogun off a bargain bin the other week. While I'm not juiced about the political presentation of it (What, only 5 daimyo recognized? ~:eek: ) I love the game despite that.
Nope, I'm not Japanese. I've picked up some of the language from my Little Lady's friends and exchange students. I chose the name because it was similar to an electronic musician I used to like, but different enough to be unique. "Irinami" means "incoming wave," which brings some very nice mental images to mind. (It could also technically mean "entering Poland," which means I always play a Wermacht general named Irinami in WWII games. ~D )
Good forum. Few ****-ants. I like. :bow:
Well, Irashaimasu, Irinami-san :bow:
Welcome to the Org ~:wave:
I'm Someone Stupid (boy doesn't that sound great :) ) currently playing R:TW. Must say I'm pleasantly surprised by the game. I'm a former med student back in college (again - though back as an undergrad - no responsibilities there) from New Orleans and have worked in New York in architecture. As with someone above me I used to be a computer tech and still keep up with it for overclocking's sake. I have a problem staying interested in any one field, so I'm betting to be a perpetual student even though I hate the thought of that.
~:cheers:
Hi All,
I just joined.
I'm living and working in Switzerland.
Just wanted to check my details when I post.
