Hands up if you still play!

Well I guess I kinda have to raise my hand as well. One of the turning points in my life was becoming a boss a year ago, which forced my play time all the way down. And now the wife is pregnant with our third child... But still, I play once in a while, still hanging on to MTW after finding I'm through with Civ4. Latest campaign: Turks, Early, only training HA's in any form, no other house rules

And yaeh, I know I *actually* should play and write that rebel campaign, but the sad thing is I lost...

MTW has enough quality and replayability to be a classic game, in the same sense that certain board games are classic, and so for players to never really leave it.

By implementing minor code fixes and improvements to known problems in SP (as in MP there are no major issues afaik) and compatibility fixes for new systems, the MTW scene could even flourish instead of dwindle, mp and sp wise.

Unfortunately, it appears that the developer has never had any further interest in the game after releasing v2.01, unlike other companies like say Paradox that kept up improving and supporting games like "Crusader Kings" that became better and better over the years. As it is, MTW interest is condemned to a slow but guaranteed and painful fade out.

Sad really.

Now part-way through my 1st VI campaign as the Welsh. I never realised how amazing Welsh Bandits are - they absolutely destroy any other unit in VI. Fast, Hide in the open, mid unit size, Armour Piercing Longbows, Good hand-to-hand - *jawdrop*.

They were such a terror in MP games back in the days when VI had just been released e_e

MTW (with about a half-dozen mods) will always have a permanent place on my hard drive. Don't have the time to play as often as I'd like, but it's still my all-time favorite!

I still play fairly regularly. One problem though, is that I get bored with a campaign quite quickly, once I've established myself, because I've played them so often. I do think, however, that MTW could have a new lease of life, if ever the developers released the code and let the fans re-write it. It still has enormous possibilities if it was more easily moddable.

Stumbled upon this org only recently, and suddenly my eyes started to glow. Haven’t played for like four or five years, got tired after world conquest with the Polish in vanilla, I’ve been on a Hearts of Iron since then. But then, lightning strike, XL, Redux, Tiberius … oh joy, I’m back and I’m hungry.
