Favorite TW?

[Reapz]

I agree with the OP. This is a great game. I am sure in a few months when we have worked out the nuances of getting the best out of all the units, the research bonuses, and the terrain, it will all seem a lot easier but I am enjoying the learning curve. Right now, in the early game, I feel like there is a real possibility I will get wiped out.

... So I'm thinking about what Rome 2 will be like ...

Can't pick a favorite but if I had to, S2TW would be in with a definite shout. RTW or MTW would be there too. Not so much the original STW or ETW/NTW but did get a lot of value from M2TW as well.

Already there's a couple great modding efforts are springing up for S2, and i have to say with their help this game is winning an even bigger place in my heart.

I'm reserving my vote until more time passes, but so far S2 is passing with flying colours.

I've only played the MTW series, and now I'm playing STW2. Must say, though STW2 is great, MTW somehow is much more grand. Covers more and varied territory without becoming overwhelming like I imagine ETW is. Covers a decent amount of time too, from 1070s to 1453. Lots more to get done. Plus religion is a three way free-for-all. What's not to like? And the units are more varied to.

Still, STW2 is a blast if you're looking for something non-western. But I wouldn't mind MTW3.

So far I am enjoying Shogun 2 immensely, and having recently played a campaign in the original Shogun to just get in the mood, I think it's a worthy successor.

However, my most favorite time periods of historic warfare are still Medieval and Napoleonic, so I will continue to play both of those off and on. I just have to get my artillery fix now and then---Heck, I will even still play Empire--simply because of the artillery and of course the epic global expanse---nothing like an artillery duel in the tropics.

Cheers

RTW, but simply due to it being my favourite time period, would love to see a V.2 of it.
