Mark Twain 1881"If you don't want to work, become a reporter. That awful power, the public opinion of the nation, was created by a horde of self-complacent simpletons who failed at ditch digging and shoemaking and fetched up journalism on their way to the poorhouse."
Re: Going back to MTW from M2
Yes, yes...brilliant analogy...oh, RTW and MTW2, I miss the commonalities shared (but taken for granted) when I once loved STW and MTW...

Re: Going back to MTW from M2
I would dearly love to go back to playing MTW. If only it would work with my new damned videocard! Its infuriating. When you upgrade your rig you dont expect to lose the ability to play the older, better games.

@Cynwulf: You got just vanilla Medieval 2, right? I only ask because of Kingdoms including SecuROM, and I'm pretty sure your feelings on that piece of....software are similar to my own.
Indeed. For that very reason, I'm extremely nervous at the possibility of upgrading my video card for Empire Total War. I'm hoping I won't have to upgrade at all, but my computer will already be nearly two years old when ETW is finally released....

Re: Going back to MTW from M2
Yes I'm aware of that particular piece of crapware in the Kingdoms expansion which is why I only have M2TW. It's unlikely that I'll pay M2TW this year though anyway but I wanted to get hold of the vanilla version before it became hard to come by.@Cynwulf: You got just vanilla Medieval 2, right?

Re: Going back to MTW from M2
I'm also returning to MTW now (not that I ever owned, let alone played, M2TW), after finding out that I can actually play it again. On my old computer it worked fine, just that the machine was too old and would get overheated every 5 minutes unless you played during winter with your window wide open (which is why I stopped posting in the Pics & history thread around February/March). After returning to these forums however I again felt the addiction and the urge to play once again.
My new computer wouldn't let me play thanks to the NVIDIA 8600N graphics card, and our family laptop wouldn't let me play it because of the NVIDIA graphics card. My last resort was our stationary machine, dating from approximately 3000 BC, and to my surprise it worked. Had a few disastrous campaigns in VI yesterday, but I'm currently downloading XL. Just like you, I fear I shall never be free.

Re: Going back to MTW from M2
The one thing I'd wish they'd done more with is Historical Campaigns in M:TW. Think something like Command and Conquer Red Alert - how badass would that be?
