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

    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.

    Played RTW for 6 months; M2TW for about 2-3.

    I find the diplomacy annoying in RTW, as i had almost crushed the gauls, they had two towns left, one with some gauls rabble in it, the other with their last general and a few other units in there, and i was camped outside with a full army outside, i wanted one of the cities and a ceasefire, i dont trust these Gauls and i was being attacked to my rear, and yet they still wouldnt accept my ceasefire, so i ended up slaughtering the lot of them Also, i find it stupid how you can keep asking them even after two tries, and most of the time they will keep declining your offers.

    First TW game was Medieval: Total War. Thought it was a nice game but wasn’t exactly hooked. Then after installing R: TW I was completely hooked, the game was incredible. Have to say after playing MII: TW it is quite hard to go back to R: TW but I am still a big fan of R: TW and I’m still playing it these days.

    The difference in the difficulty between M2TW and RTW are overwhelming, in RTW, i though i was safe as Scipii to capture the other two towns, i was wrong, both had large garrisons, while my general had 1 group of roman archers, 1 group of hastati, and one group of those javelin throwers, while the enemy had 4 groups of militia phalanxes, 2 groups of normal phalanxes, 2 javelin throwers and a general. I then decided i would go for the Carthaginian town, whihc had a small garrison before i realised the larger army it had sent to capture the greek city. I almost killed a group of town guards, but then i retreated to my own town. The AI vastly outnumbers and outclasses you in RTW, and this was just on medium difficulty!

    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.
