Yeah i suppose so, i just wish the grass wasnt so long as i like looking at the massacres my armies cause in M2TW

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...

Hmm, funnny after I said about my internet connection in the above post I came back up to my PC and noticed the little symbol said I was connected. Strange but great.

Find a mod you like, and forget about vanilla. I recommend Broken Crescent.

As far as Rome vs MTW2, I never bought Rome because I lost interest long before the bugs got well enough ironed out. MTW2 was right at the edge of that time frame too when 1.2 came out, and I've enjoyed the game ever since.
