That being said - MTW is my favourite game of all time.
Was reading a few threads the other day about RTW2 and Attila in the TWC and, actually another schism has already happened between those that prefer the 2nd incarnation of the TW engine to the later games [Empire and afterwards that share more traits/features]

Its really funny because its the same post type of the old timers against those that prefer the newer games..

I also got the distinct impression that their content manager over there Welsh Dragon, the way he posted pro RTW2 and Attila may actually be a CA employee of some sort.. posing for a fan so as his arguments to be heard more - typical tactics companies and other organisations employ..

We had a few -in the late RTW early M2TW days- of those quasi CA employees or - who knows, perhaps actual CA employees..

At some point an mp player Jason Palamedes was actually employed as QA/tester for the battle aspect of the game, he was posting around here too..
