Returning Old Campaigner

[Trapped in Samsara]

Hi All

Can anybody join this party?

Prior to Xmas just gone it had been two years since I'd last played MTW. Am about 180 years into a vanilla campaign as the French, Early/Hard. Everything is going swimmingly. Tonight I have four fortification assaults to fight - I never auto resolve. Those poor Hungarians didn't know what hit them. But they did put up a decent fight in Tyrolia, which was a bit of a near run thing.

Have to take all the targets in one year or I'll be excommunicated. But if the Pope is foolish enough to do that then he's signed his own death warrant. I have a very handy general and de-excomm army camped just north of Rome...

The machine I am using is my former, and 10-year-old, 'work' PC. It's absolutely rock-solid stable. Not a single crash thus far.

I have been thinking: should we have a thread in which people detail the components, driver versions, OS, etc., in their MTW machines, along with an assessment of the stability, speed and optimum resolutions?

(Given the age of this wonderful game I'm concerned about how much longer we have in which to acquire the components, hardware and software, with which to assemble MTW-suitable platforms. Gilrandir's recent tribulations are a case in point.)

Best regards
V
