Not enough Threads

[Mek Simmur al Ragaski]

I am getting distressed that every time i come onto this site there are only 3 or 4 new posts, and most of them are on the countless threads i have added, now either start posting more, people who are viewing the forums but havent made an account, make an account, because these forums are starting to become boring because there is nothing new, im starting to slip back into RTW, and that isnt normal!

Now can you please start making some more threads, posting a little more, posibly even inviting your friends to join the org, or i might have to convert to twcentre, and i dislike twcentre greatly....

As for newbies, i find great enjoyment in answering your queries, as atleast something new is coming to these forums, i have nothing else to do but play M2TW, RTW, so please ask away, im on most of the day everyday, apart from school and tommorrow, so please post and ask to your hearts content

It is a worrying thought that the posts are drying up. There is a thread in the Colosseum saying the same thing.

Its getting so bad i might convert to be a twcentre'er (is that right???) Ive actually started playing RTW because there are most posts going into threads explaining about that than there are here

RTW is a much better and more polished work.. not to mention unique in its own right unlike the sequel MTW2 is :)

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...

i couldnt disagree more. in the multiplayer rome is better, and for me the only reason is i gave up waiting an hour to get on m2tw lobby... easier to get on rome and has more players because the people who are sick of trying to log into m2tw are back on rome.

i personally found it hilarious the first game i played of rome after like a year of m2tw, the men run around the field like people from the silent movie era

as far as the campaign goes i feel m2 to be far superior, its not even close to me. it is as others have pointed out though...rome has more diverse units and factions but that is a virtue of its era, and that lack of that diversity shouldnt be held against m2..they did well with what they had...and modders have made it really good

but on the main topic, the org is much friendlier than twc, but twc has more action. just the stainless steel forum is more active than the m2tw citadel it seems...but there is more riff-raff

2 options insane:

stop spamming (please!)
lurk the frontroom and play in the gameroom.

Capo had 1 post every 6 minutes for about 4 days.

Its a great way to spend your time.

Basically, expand your focus, post in more areas yourself. Engage in debates in the backroom or something.

The game is no longer new, not as many people are playing any more and the variety of posts as a result is drying up. Nature of the beast really, especially if you look at the MTW and RTW chat rooms.

A shame I know, because I take a look at the Citadel probably at least 8-10 times a day. It will have its busy periods though.

Also it is great to see quite a few new members sign up recently. Welcome to all!

Wow, a welcome, I'm not sure how to deal with that on the internet ;).

[Mek Simmur al Ragaski]

Youll find many welcomes in the enterance hall
Thanks for signing up, always nice to see some new faces around here!

I think the late-game becoming absurdly easy and descending into tedious micromanagement is a general problem that I've found in all the TW games, and for that matter every similar strategy game I can think of. It's kind of unavoidable, since as all factions start with a roughly level playing field, your advantage inevitably increases as you expand to the point where your empire becomes unstoppable. RTW and M2TW try to offset this somewhat by having the Roman Civil War and the Mongol and Timurid invasions, respectively. The problem is that much of the interesting stuff in M2TW isn't available until the late game, by which time you're already bored. I've offset this slightly in my current modded version by giving every faction a fully-upgraded citadel and huge city. Fighting an army of spammed Spanish Dragoons at least makes a change from spammed militia.

As for the number of threads, I would agree that there really only is so much to say about the singleplayer game, especially since I don't think we're really supposed to discuss mods and modding here (although that seems to be mostly all I end up talking about here ). But I would say that I prefer it when there are just a few threads with good, long, interesting discussions than when there are hundreds with just a couple of one-line questions and answers.

Been lurking on these boards for quite a while. I been reading these boards since Shogun warlords edition ( off and on ). So I figured WTH give a shout out to the good folks here at Totalwar.org.

Just started to playing MTW2 and already abandoned the vanilla campaign to play the Lands to Conquer 3.1 mod. Once again I find myself addicted to yet another total war game.

Per Insane834's request, I'm slinking out of the shadows to offer a salute and extend a hello to all the resident posters!
