Hi there :)
I'm Havard. I joined in January after getting M:TW, but never posted... I just got R:TW now and is enjoying it...
A very few might also know me as Admin over at the Paradox Entertainemnt forums - I see a few familiar nicks here...

Hello all.

Re: HAIL New Members! (Introductions)
Hello. :)
I've been a member for a little over a year. I signed up when I got MTW, and have lurked around every once in a while sinse. I'm quite interested in the history Rome: Total War represents, and am still enjoying the game just about everyday.
Mod Note: Great Salfin - you'll find (if your haven't already) hundreds of history-minded kindred souls around here. We're glad you 'uncloaked'. -Kukri

Lo, I'm Spartakus. Or at least that's been my online nick for some years now.
I'm 20 years old, living in Norway, studying medieval history at the University of Oslo.
I've only recently signed up on this forum, though I've been browsing ever since I bought MTW.

Hello I'm Grumfoss, based in sunny North Wales. Been -playing Total war since the beginning ~:) Only recently got RTW - WOW what a game !! I'm very new to this forum (only found it yesterday) but already impressed with all the knowledge being passed onto us newbies.

Re: HAIL New Members! (Introductions)

Mod Note: "Always find time to be polite", Mamma Kukri said, LoL. You'd be hard-pressed to find a member who joined from 2002 onwards who wasn't greeted by a Gregoshi ~:wave:. He used to spend entire DAYS in here greeting new people. I merely stand in his shadow. -Kukri

Re: HAIL New Members! (Introductions)
Hello everyone, i've played M:TW since it was released, and visited these forum for almost as long, never posted though. i live in sweden and is currently conscripted NCO/Telecommunications technician in the swedish army.
i am very excited about R:TW being released, but very very disappointed as i cannot play it, exept that quick and custom battles, it is rather frustrating really. i hope activision answers my mail, but it is seems that they are rather swamped by the amount, as a lot of people experience CTD:s and freezes.
shameless promotion of my post -> http://p223.ezboard.com/fshoguntotal...icID=331.topic
Mod Note: Greetings Cheese Weaver, welcome to the Org ~:wave: some of our members have reported similar "hangs" ; EradoSan (tech guy at TotalWar.com) will likely have some solution for you; but their site is quite busy, and it might take a day or so for him to get to you. In the meantime, I suggest you cross-post that info into our Apothecary forum (if you haven't already). Our guys will have a look, too - and maybe a miracle answer ~D -Kukri

Re: HAIL New Members! (Introductions)
Hi everyone, I just got R:TW last week and it's the best, major upgrade from playing M:TW and Viking Invasion, I always came here to read info from more experienced players for MTW but now that R:TW has come out i thought i should join up and ask questions and get answers just like everyone else ~:)

Re: HAIL New Members! (Introductions)
Hello. Eh... Yes. I'm new here. Bought the game yesterday and gave it a whirl. Rather fun. Will definitely spend what little spare time I have on it. Downloaded that beginnersguidethingie frogbeastegg wrote. 70 pages, dash me. Seems very useful, good show, much obliged and all that.
Oh, hi Havard, nice to see a fellow Languishista. ~:)

Re: HAIL New Members! (Introductions)
Hi,
I've been lurking here for a few years and decided to sign up properly. I've been very grateful for all the tips and tactics I've gleaned from the postings on this site.
I started out on STW, then moved on to MTW and now RTW. I loved all of them but RTW is frankly a work of art, and I play it obsessively.

Hello all,
I was browsing to find a solution to why R:TW crashes after 3 seconds in the imperial campaign, while the introduction campaign works fine. So far, I haven't found a solution, but I have found this forum.

Re: HAIL New Members! (Introductions)
Hi all, I just had the demi for MTW and really enjoyed it but never got around to buying because I was too busy with college and politics (very active in Dem party...western civilization has had worse losses than the last election). Anyways, when I was poking aroudn teh TW main site I noticed they have a Hellenic TW version coming out!! Being a history and classics double major at UCSB I couldn't help but be excited. Where can I learn more about this game? When is it coming out, etc? Thanks!
Mod Note: Greetings fellow Californian UCSBclassics ~:wave:. Midnight Piper answered your N:TW query below. Guys with double-majors have time for games, LoL? Your academic background wll stand you in good stead with our membership. - Kukri
-
Re: HAIL New Members! (Introductions)
There is a Hellenic Mod, I think available in the downloads section - not an official product. For an official product you can get Rome:Total War (already in stores) which includes a range of ancient-world civs for your enjoyment (change history, lead Greece in its conquest of Rome). Haven't tried it myself - still enjoying M:TW too much.
-
Re: HAIL New Members! (Introductions)
*waves*
Been lurking for a while as well after picking M:TW off the shelf 'just to try it out' some time ago. Quickly found it to be the most engaging strategy game I've yet had the pleasure of playing.
Finally got to pick up R:TW the other day (been having a financial crisis for some time so i didnt get it at launch).
Mod Note: Howdy Mazoch, welcome to the Org ~:wave:. So all you need is a copy of Shogun:TotalWar to round out your collection. -Kukri

Re: HAIL New Members! (Introductions)
Hi all,
I just decided to buy the game, did it online so I won't get it til Monday. I'll try out the demo until then. I am a little concerned about the MP issues, as I am hoping to get a friend of mine interested so we can play it online. We get together occasionally for some Napoleonic miniature wargames. Some American civil war as well, but mostly Napoleonic. I am interested in this game....atleast until they come out with Napoleon: Total War. ~:)
Mod Note: Welcom "Black Bob" Crauford (can't wait to hear the background on that username:) ) ~:wave: We'll try to keep you entertained/occupied until R:TW arrives at your door. -Kukri
-
Re: HAIL New Members! (Introductions)
HI GUYS! ummm I have a question I signed up but I can only post in the NEW MEMEBERS section is there a reason I can't post anywhere else? do I have to be unlocked or something?
-
Re: HAIL New Members! (Introductions)
These forums use membership levels (junior member, member, senior member, assistant moderator, moderator) with fewer restrictions as you progress. I can't remember the list of forums available to JMs, but generally it's the 'general discussion' forum for each game.
Post count doesn't matter for membership level progression, what matters is how you behave and the quality/content of your posts. As you prove the worth of your posts - and give the mods evidence that you're not a salesbot or troll - they'll manually 'upgrade' your membership level, giving you fewer posting restrictions, editing capabilities, and more message storage space.

Re: HAIL New Members! (Introductions)
Thanks for the warm welcome. This is a great site, lots of nice information.
As you probably guessed my username is from my favorite General of the British army in the Napoleonic wars. I've enjoyed countless hours of reading about the battles in the Penninsular campaign and Robert Craufurd aka "the Iron Warrior" and "Black Bob" was quite a colorful character. I also enjoy reading about his 95th rifles and Johnny Kincaid. He was so unpredictable, and Wellington used to send him "suggestions" instead of orders lol. He would drive Wellington nuts because he would tell him that he would do one thing, then change his mind and do something totally different. Then there is the famous 41 mile (I believe that is correct) march he made with his light division in 24 hours to try to reach the battlefield at Talavera. They almost made it, but I mean ...wow. Anyway, Ill stop rambling about Napoleonics for now ~;)
I've been playing the demo and find it to be much of what you are all saying. The AI is extremely easy and flawed. If all the Generals are like this, which it sounds like they are, then another flaw. Sounds like every General that is AI controlled is as crazy as Marshal Ney or something. :charge: One thing I kind of liked that I've seen others do not, is the mass... or formations breaking up. Units seemed to become disordered, which made sense to me. And when the battle started to get fierce, it was chaotic and a "mass" instead of all units keeping formations. I kinda liked that. Well, just my first impressions from the demo, itching to get the real thing in a couple days!!

Re: HAIL New Members! (Introductions)
Welcome all. I think its a bug in the game that makes the allied generals crazy.

Welcome back Aurelius. There are several versions of that username in our membership database. Do you remember your previous username and/or email? If you will PM me with those details, we may be able to resurrect your old account.

Re: HAIL New Members! (Introductions)
Thanks very much, KukriKhan. I appreciate your offer, but I'm just as happy to get rid of the infernal 1 after my name, and post counts don't matter a whit to me.
If I could possibly beg my way into the tavern, it would be lovely. I'm rather parched after my time in the wilderness.
Again, thanks for your attention. Total War fans the world over are coated in a light batter of fanatacism... they must eat up a lot of your time. My billable hours somewhere else are getting into the millions.
Mod Note: OK then. Tavern access and an edit button all come with advancement to Member, which should occur soon. - Kukri

Re: HAIL New Members! (Introductions)
Terribly sorry to double post, but I'm suffering from a distinct lack of ability to edit posts. Is my signature an allowable size? I've seen a few 1968 Galaxie 500 size ego massages around, but I'd hate to step on someone's toes.
We must set a good example and all.
Mod Note: We like them 500 x 150 max; you are 400x150, so: fine. Oh...and that Galaxie 500? First car I ever wrecked. - Kukri

Re: HAIL New Members! (Introductions)
This Aurelius is obviously an imposter, since I know how much the real Aurelius loves the '1' after his name. In fact, he never shuts up about it. :tongue2:

Re: HAIL New Members! (Introductions)
Hi! Nice site! ~:cheers:
I've been playing computer games since the days of greasy little dwarves vanishing in puffs of smoke. In the past couple of years it's been a mixture of strategy, rpg, and fps games. ATM I'm playing HL2, RTW, and WoW (at least I will, as soon as it arrives).
RTW is my first experience with the Total War series, and I find it very addictive. I've finished my first Imperial campaign as the Scipiones, and am trying out the Seleucids now.
Mod Note: Hi T.N.T.Toulouse, welcome to the Org ~:wave: Some of the best years of my life were spent in Ann Arbor; are you teaching or 'towning' there? Either way, glad to have a broad-based gamer aboard. - Kukri

Re: HAIL New Members! (Introductions)
Hi, i found this site about 2 month ago when looking for info about RTW.
I'm an old MTW player, it's a pity i didn't know of this place earlier. Lots of useful info about MTW...well better late than never.
My name is Thomas, i'm from Sweden and last time i counted i was 29 years old. That was way back in 1992! ~:)
EDIT: It just caught my eye that it says: "Member" below my name. Nice! So i'll take the opportunity to celebrate that by using the edit function. ~D

Hi there, I just joined yesterday (after shamelessly reading just about every guide and tip to be found on this forum). I'm an industrial design student from Holland and have been playing the TW-games since Shogun first came out (really miss the 'HAI!' sounds when splitting armies, these should be in the Sengoku Jidai-mod for R:TW! :bow: )
Talk to y'all soon...

Re: HAIL New Members! (Introductions)
Hi everyone ~:wave: ,
I'm Barbarossa82, a big fan of all the TW games, occasionally to the detriment of my studies!
I'm a pretty bad general and the troops often look a bit nervous when I'm in command, but I specialise in economic management and political manoevrings with my family and generals. This allows me to live the life of a decadent Eastern faction leader in RTW, relying on my vast wealth to recruit mercenaries to replace the troops I lose on my regular ill-advised forays onto the battlefield!
Favourite RTW faction - Numidia (like the feeling of transitioning from an early, desert people reliant on skirmishers and jav cav to a wealthier, more developed civilisation with Legions and heavy cav)
Favourite RTW unit - Desert Spearmen (far from the best spearmen in the game but seem to be very steadfast, and more importantly they look cool)
Favourite Tactic - use Numidian cavalry to annoy the enemy, then pummel them with archers when they chase us!

Re: HAIL New Members! (Introductions)
Hi all, I'm drone. Been playing M:TW for a couple of years, and now R:TW when time permits. I found the Org a while ago looking for M:TW info, found the guides and was very impressed (All hail the mighty Frog!). I have been scoping the forums religiously since Rome came out. I don't usually join game forums, too many flamewars, not enough real analysis, but not so with the Org. So I figure it's time to contribute, even if it's only my 2 cents. Medieval filled the combat gaming urges I've had since Mindcraft's Walls of Rome (looong time ago), and added the addictive "one more turn" aspect of the strategy game. Killer combination, and Rome has the potential to waste even more of my time...

I am close to being 18 years old and, when I hear the good news from one of the colleges, I will probably spend a great deal of time celebrating by playing TW games. I've played STW and MTW and am a big fan of both. I just realized, looking at my screen name, that I am logged in as Master Zen, which sounds a little pretentious. I apologize; it's a nickname I earned in school. People call me "Zen Master" so I just reversed it. Also, master is used in Britain to get the attention of young men so I thought it was appropriate since I am a young man. Finally, being a Zen Master is something many of us aspire to, so it is also used in that sense. There is certainly something Zen in strategy: the mix of orthodox and unorthodox. By the way, I am also a major history buff, which is one of the reasons the TW series attracted me. I have been skimming these forums for weeks now, just reading, and today I finally decided to join. Hopefully the homework load will reduce and I will have more time to post, to read, and to play.

Re: HAIL New Members! (Introductions)
Hello eaveryone. I have been lurking these boards for a year now so I thought I should join. I mean, how else could I add my 2 cents into the mix. Unfortunately for me I only own MTW with the Viking Expansion.

Hey Everyone, I have frequently visited this forum since my MTW days and now with RTW I decided I should join. I live in the heartland of the US and I work in IT at a tech support for a local bank in Kansas and Oklahoma.

Hello, everyone. Like many, I've been reading these forums and using their guides since the Shogun days. I thought I would finally join up. I can only say that the guides and posts in this forum have been incredibly useful for me over the years.

Re: HAIL New Members! (Introductions)
Hi hi all y'all:
I'm a big fan of the TW series but possibly one of the worstest ever players :/
Thank y'all that made the guides and such, now I can sometimes manage to not get over-run before at least grabbing a new town or few.
