Re: What did Vanilla get right?
They got the engine right, it might be full of stupid hardcodes and mod-unfriendly scripting, but you know what? Its a great engine that, while not used to its full potential , is still (In my humble Opinion) one of the better Strat-game engines.
Also, the senate system(albeit historically innacurate-ish and exclusive to Romans for some reason) is something that for some reason, I liked.

Re: What did Vanilla get right?
It couldnt get any, but it had battlefield ninjas, blacksuited ninjas, legendary geishas, kensais, 7 clans among the dozens actually important, Imagawa in Kyushu, Takeda in southern Honshu, only peasant ashigarus and it did have a full mongol invaion... But again it's the best TW so far, with the ilustrations, music and japanese battle formations!
Re: What did Vanilla get right?
I will have to agree with those who say vanilla was not intended to be 100% accurate historically, just provide players with a game they'll have fun with. And I certainly did, before I came across RTW modifications. You know, there are sometimes I just feel like playing good old vanilla again, only to shake my head in dissapointment and play EB with more passion again...

Re: What did Vanilla get right?
lol. i thought that too. when i had to re-install all my games b/c i lost my hard drive, i played one battle in RTW. i had 6 units of phalanxmen, and they had a bunch of infantry. i routed them with one loss of my own....
i began to cry, not believing at how easy it was to kill them, and i didnt play again untiol i had EB safely installed.
to the OP- nothing!!!!!!!

Re: What did Vanilla get right?
I dont own a copy anymore but have heard that it is impossible to play Shogun on XP.
Is there a patch/fix available for it?

Re: What did Vanilla get right?
Perhaps with an emulator. Med 1 works fine on XP, by the way.
Read about glory and decline of the Seleucid Empire... (EB 1.1 AAR)
Re: What did Vanilla get right?
I've never had any problems with Shogun on XP.
