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!

R: TW and MII: TW are very similar games but the graphics in MII is almost near perfection, you really can’t ask for much more from a turn-based game.

Yeah I hate that as well.

I've been inactive recently for a couple of reasons. The main one being that my PC can't get onto the internet anymore, I think a cable is damaged, and I have to wait to get onto my parents PC to get online. Another reason is I am playing through the M2TW factions to catch up with everyone else, doing a combo of short/long/domination campaigns, currently just over half way through, though I managed to do 3 short campaigns in just over a week, was really chuffed with that. Now I'm doing a long campaign, or maybe to domination, with the HRE. Bring on the Reiters.

EDIT: As for the difficulty between RTW and M2TW, I think M2TW is tougher. I only completed two campaigns in RTW (domination as Julii, short as Britannia), but the Mongols/Timurids make managing eastern factions a nightmare. You have to spend all your funds building armies to camp around Yerevan then fight a WWII war of attrition for the next sixty turns.

I dont really like eastern factions, and by that i mean i have only unlocked 1, Egypt, i was looking forward to playing these, as i have been reading many books about them and they seem like an interesting sort of people, but all of the rebel cities were garrisoned to the brim with awesome soldiers, i forgot about economy, i was nowhere near any of my old chums in italy, and the only person i got diplomacy with was Turks, and i dislike the Turks intensely...
