    Default Re: Confession time

    Now for a different point of view...

    A few months back some computer mag posted a list of what their editors called 'the best 25 PC games of all time'. To keep their list from filling up they only allowed one entry from a series, and picked what they said was the 'best representative'.

    Being an old timer, and a very game centered guy I had owned and played 24 out of their 25. Much to my surprise their number six pick was an alien to me. Somehow I had never discovered Total War. Their representative choice, btw, was Rome.

    Me being me I did some quick research and ordered 'Eras'. I had some other things going and it took a month or two before I loaded up Shogun. What a great game!

    After being very satisfied with Shogun through a lot of failures and one success, and without exploring the numerous alternatives of starting time or even all the factions, I loaded up Medieval. Much to my surprise I was immediately so impressed that I loaned Shogun to my son.

    Now I've loaded up Rome, and it has dominated my playing time for a week or so. In no way whatsoever did it make Medieval obsolete for me. There are great things about it, but there are some steps backwards too. I can't really say which one is more likely to provide more TW binges in the future. Truthfully, there will likely be some Shogun binging down the line too.

    So, from someone who 'discovered' MTW and RTW at about the same time, it's pretty much a dead heat.
