    I am, and I agree with you, the demo is not perfect, and in some preview they said that CA would be still tweaking, at least the cav-charge, so I suggest to go on complaining when I am enjoying RTW and don´t have time to come here and read about things that don´t bother me when I don´t read about them.

    "n/t" is shorthand for No Text. It alerts you to the fact that there is no point in clicking on the topic because the Title says it all.

    At some forums it's quite common to type n/t after your topic title. This means no text and thus the only thing you have to say is in the topic title. It is usefull if you have to click on a messagetitle to see its content, so you avoid needing to look at an empty message.

    At this board it is completely useless as all messages are already displayed. Plus it's if you only have 1 short sentence to say and still start a new topic then I doubt wether it's really that important. And from the replies it's clear that the topicstarter didn't even get his point across...

    The whining about the whining is more annoying than the whining.

    Yeah, perhaps if someone came out and said that the units speed was slower in the game, then we'd stop. But they haven't so it makes sense to let them know our opinon. BTW, a bit more anti-complaining complaining, and this will start to sound like the .com.

    There’s nothing wrong with this Demo


    1. Open the Demo Preferences and change the following settings to read:

    DISABLE_ARROW_MARKERS:TRUE

    SHOW_BANNERS:FALSE

    DESYNC:TRUE

    and save it over the origional.


    2. Then download the RoDeO v0[1].2zip mod and install it (anywhere).

    3. Create a game on RoDeO using the Tutorial Map (which has a large open field to fight on).

    4. Start the Demo and select all of the highest Video Settings for everything, and in Game Settings, be sure you have TotalWar Camera selected.

    5. Now practice how draw out formations (left to right, and don’t Group before this step, or you won't be able to to have full control of multi unit positioning).

    Once you get the hang of the minor differences in interface, this plays very much like MTW, only more realistic, and looks much better.

    With all due respect, if we have to go through all that then something is wrong with the demo.

    Amen. And n/t threads are spam in a discussion forum.

    Forums are for people who want to DISCUSS things. If a person posts no text threads, they obviously have no interest in discussion, and would be better off elsewhere. If people want to rebut an argument, great. But calling the forum a bunch of whiners as some like to do is imbecilic.
    Rome Total War, it's not a game, it's a do-it-yourself project.
