What Total War do you think is the best and why?

Id have to say that i prefur M2TW to any other game, mostly because i only had RTW, the expansions for RTW were good, especially Barbarian Invasion, although i did find Alexander a bit poor, im not sure how you are supposed to fight the Persians when they outnumber and outclass you.

The newest features in M2TW have me hooked, diplomacy through assassinations and princesses, im not sure about this, but wasnt execution of captured soldiers introduced in M2TW and not RTW??? If im wrong then i might begin to play RTW again...

Also the fact that i only joined the org recently, during the start of this month, and many more factions are available, which appeals to me as in RTW, the original this is, you were stuck with Brutii, Scipii and Julii, (without modificiation this is, i started playing RTW around January) If i actually could change the Descr_strat files and actually save them, then i would probably begin to play RTW again.

Believe it or not, but when i was around 10, i saw shogun total war in the shops and it actually looked like a fairly decent game for the time. Although i did not actually buy it, which i sorely regret, it did look very good for the time it was out.

I have never seen MTW in the shops, ever

So personally i prefur M2TW, but if i could edit RTW, it would prove to be just as entertaining

Insane, I'm not sure what you mean by diplomacy through assassination, but assassination of diplomats/emissaries, priests, faction leaders and generals has been around since STW. The original MTW introduced princesses and execution/ransom of captured soldiers.

RTW is worst of the 4. However it (according to me who doesn't have M2TW but has everything else but has not yet played MTW) has the best mod: EB.

Alexander is suppose to test your skill. And it's far from impossible to win.

Capturing the enemy and possibily executing them was first introduced in MTW.

So go download EB

And assasination were better in STW. What with the super cool scenes and all.

Say Yuuki, you know stats

Is it true that the morale effect of a unit stationed on the flanks/rear have been decreased in RTW and M2TW? Like how in STW just stationing a unit on the enemy flank could cause it to route for fear of being flanked.

Or is it just me?

i dont think just one is the best i still have fun playing the good old ones and the new ones alike but i seem to find myself strangly addicted to Rome Total War atm specially the Bare Bones Mod
