Not enough Threads

[Zim]

Well, we do have 86,000+ posts here. Could be people are running out of things to say.

I mostly hang around the throneroom. Except for some of the MP games there, I don't play vanilla much, so I don't spend a lot of time around the Citadel.

I'd imagine if that new patch is ever finished we'll see a flurry of posts here again.

Aaaah, i see redriver, i personally prefur M2TW, but RTW is truly a unique game in its own rights, i like the factions, and the units too

I can also see where you are coming from too Zim, and just about when is this new patch supposed to be released???? If not soon i dont think ill be around long enough...

Last I heard, they were avoiding giving a release date for the patch.

If it's really taking them this long to fix a few broken features advertised on the box the expansion is sold in, a lot of people here are going to be angry. If they're taking their time so they can address some of the other remaining issues (imbalances caused by fixing the shield bug, etc.), well, a lot of people here will still be angry and rail at CA because that's what they do, but I'll be happy.

I honestly havent had any problems with M2TW yet, i just install the patches because other people have had problems with M2TW

And there are way more posts here than at TWcenter ... it's a ghost town over there.

The most active Org forums are the Miscellanous ones.

M2TW lacks the diversity of units that RTW had, so I must admit that's why I had enough of it much sooner. All the factions feels much of the same for me. Don't know if it could've been done different, oh well.

I was completely hooked on RTW when i first installed it, although so was i with M2TW, but my addiction to RTW lasted around 2 months longer than my addiction to M2TW, so yh, but if you install M2TW first, which i highly dont reccomend, then you will probably stray from RTW a little bit, i find the things much better on RTW, but the graphics and battles are greatly improved, but if you play RTW, your certain to become a veteran before you would on M2TW, the AI are simply stupid on M2TW

I think I was hooked on both of them for about a year or so after buying them.

Now that I've played MTW2, though, I have a lot of trouble going back to RTW. I don't care about the graphics so much, but I find the battle and diplomatic AIs much weaker in RTW, even in vanilla. With moddable diplomacy in MTW2, it's even harder for me to go back.

I'm just waiting for EB2 or a Rome era mod for MTW2.

Some of the most obvious bugs bothered me, but I've found the game very enjoyable since the most recent patch. Others will say the game is broken, and some will insult your intelligence if you disagree.

The shield bug thing bothers me a little, since now that it has been fixed units without shields have been nerfed. Balancing the regular game the way Kingdoms has been balanced, or even just rebalancing twohanders and non shield cavalry (which tends to be the most expensive cav) would make me very happy, but I'd be ok if they just fixed some of the features for Kingdoms.
