alternatives to TW?

[Slaists]

hey, i have been off TW for a very long time now. i am just wondering: are there any good alternatives in this genre out? the battlefield AI (strategy AI not being much better) in Medieval TW is a complete disgrace (as in being very, very poor) to the point of being sickening (the Mods that I have seen do not seem to be able to do much about it)... any competition has created anything better over the last year or so?

That depends on how narrowly you're defining the genre. I can think of several strategy games with entirely decent AIs, such as Civ 4 and EUIII, but the last good RTS AI I can think of is way back in Starcraft.

I know the one you mean, but can't recommend it based on what I've heard and seen. Apparently the AI is only decent because almost the entire game consists of set-piece scripted battles and has precious little content.

XIII Century: Death or Glory. Org topic here.

There's still no demo and still no dates for boxed copies for most of the world.

well, Civ 4 has a decent strategy level AI (when heavily cheating on higher than prince levels), but there practically are no real time battles. so, playing civ 4 is like tossing half of TW experience out (for me, at least).

Europa Universalis: a nice idea, but the gameplay is nowhere near as pleasing and fluid as with Civ 4 and again: real time battles do not exist.

I guess, I agree about starcraft :))

Get a bunch of buddies together, grab some swords, run outside and start swinging.

More fun than any computer game can ever be.
