@ReluctantSamurai, Thanks! I dont exactly remember why i put the archers like that, but i like your assuming more anyway!
@Gregoshi , My most favourite shot is Samurai Phalanxes too, when i play STW i always imagined the Yari units fighting like that.

I think everyone thinks the same: We are not able to do long-hard-fighting since RTW, and whatever you put the game as new units, new buildings, the game has absolutely no taste.

I never brutally critisized RTW, there were awesome units like Chariots, Elephants, Berserkers, Wall assasults... They were enjoyable toys, I had alot of fun with them.
The thing is, with RTW we lost our "fear of losing", and that makes the M2TW really boring game even how awesome its graphics are.

I still remember an awesome see-saw battle I fought that went to time limit.

You played with a time limit?!?

Never!!!

I would've missed out on some of my most epic battles....after a couple of hours of sitting and managing the battle, I was probably as tired as my on-screen army

The thing is, with RTW we lost our "fear of losing"

Isn't that the truth! One major loss in STW and your whole position could become untenable...........

I was rather surprised when I remembered that time ran out in the battle I mentioned. I would have thought (now) I would have no time limit. I can only guess I either didn't think to turn off the feature or it hadn't been a factor before.

Yes, me too. I remember the first time I lost a battle to the timer that I had actually won quite handily. I don't even remember the specifics of the battle other than I was heavily outnumbered, it was my first huge battle, and I was prematurely congratulating myself on a clever, clever victory........................until I couldn't find that last @#$% unit hiding in the woods. And to rub salt into the wound, the unit has only six men left in it

That was the last time.................................

Original STW iirc does not have a disable timer option.

1041 heads. The highest I can remember getting is 480/490.
Best individual battle was 1600 kills with no losses defending shinano.

I always played with time limit too. Because without limit, your elite soldiers get tired and you losing them because of nothing. Also, as you remember enemy units start popping out from all over the screen, and that was really annoying.

Anyway, i uploaded more screenshots.

Here is another pike forest, which i like alot:
