Hi all

[Swoosh So]

Hello ntw community, i have returned to the game after a long absence and am wondering how the community communicates and arranges battles on steam? i see that you can join groups but even if i join a group with lots of players i seem to be the only one in chat?!

Aside from that anyone i will know playing and maybe want to teach me the ropes? i havent even touched single player yet and just played 1 mp game which i did win but my opponent seemed abit well sheepish ;)

Hello,

If anyone wants to add me as a friend and suggest a game when we're both on I'll be more than happy. I'm UK based timewise.

Hi all

I saw you online NTW last night when you entered the ^Nomad^ chat room and when I entered the totalwar.org chat room. I said 'Hello' both times but got no reply.

Very few players seem to use the chat facility that is on Steam.

You have a Friend request from ^Glyndwr^ my Steam player name.


@Ethelred Unread

I will add you too.

Edit: Your name doesn't come up in a search on Steam when entered as it is here.

[Ethelred Unread]

Gah! I think it's down as either "Ethelred" or you can try "mattyboy76"

I've just confirmed "Naburrow"

[Swoosh So]

Here you go jochi our 2v2 from last night :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shaYHQQWejw sorry i dident show more of your handywork on the right flank but the youtube videos are limited to 9 minutes so i had to edit it quite a bit! :(

@ Ethelred Unread

Ethelred it is

Added you to my friends list.


@ SwooshSo ... No problems with that. Happy you enjoyed the game.

Hello Swoosh So and welcome back, you can make a battle video in two parts, like this hard fought battle:
Part 1:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYbedT7fXd8
part 2:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqUv...eature=related


PS Nice game;)

[gollum]

Although i'm certain that Jochi played well on your right flank, it seems you guys won the game by your bold taking and skillful holding of the hill Swoosh. The brits should have potentially stayed closer together and further back given that the hill was dominating the terrain and was effectively cutting them in too. They've also greatly misused their cav, it seems to me.

However the way you've held and routed the enemy cav, as well as played on your left flank was exemplary.

GG Swoosh and Jochi

[Swoosh So]

They got my cav quite good when the 2nd british player charged his in which i had to edit from the video for time, but ye they totally sucked on micro by not removing their cav from combat with my square formation line inf, overconfidence maybe after routing my cav. Tbh i wasent expecting the game to be much fun and im pleasantly surprised and im sure ill be playing a fair bit more totalwar in the weeks/months to come. Just need to get rid of some rust and learn all these weird and strange units and should be even more fun.

Just worked out that i can fraps replays in almost full detail doh! i just assumed it wouldent handle it...

[gollum]

Your cav being routed is on the video, hence the squares that held. The last cavalry unit of yours though was all the money, two flank charges (one against the enemy cav blob and one on the left flank fight on the hill) that devatstated; are you sure they were late to appear or they were in reserve? ;)

Check out Tomi, Swoosh, he'll most likely be able to point you to groups of people/people playing the game. Either here or Jochi should know where to find him.

just played 1 mp game which i did win but my opponent seemed abit well sheepish ;)

May be that was Duck undercover.

[AggonyDuck]

A duck in a sheep's clothing will still waddle and quack.

Here is a good Unit Stat Guide that will help you understand the different units and their uses.

[Ethelred Unread]

Thanks for the invites - I'm on most lunchtimes (UK) for a quick MP or in the evening on Tuesdays (wife permitting)

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

Welcome back Swosshieman . Fancy a fortress game on NTW :D?

[Swoosh So]

Magyarkhan is also back, expect to see us hosting some nice 2v2 battles soon.

[Wolf__Kyolic]

I will be around too.

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

Oh boy,Magyar is back. Been years since I was last crushed by him :P.

[Dionysus9]

Welcome back Swoosh and Kyolic! I've seen Nashwan around but haven't had a chance to play him yet. Magyar is back? Awesome! I can't wait to see him back in action. Last time I saw him I snapped this photo:

big images no longer needed deleted

[Sp00n]

I'm also back in Totalwar on a regular basis, currently re-learning my trade and having fun with the Aggony's. Improving slowly although the era's kind of foreign to me, I'm more used to the guns being tame and melee battles, getting there though.

:P
