Does anyone else feel extremely lucky?

I haven't felt this great about a game since....well since I bought MTW earlier this year.

Rome isn't as good, but its still a great game, especially after you put in the fixes.

I agree Osbot, single-player this is a groundbreaking, remarkable game. The MP lovers have a lot more to deal with, best wished to them. I know my own love of the game is due to the fact that the campaign and SP battles are the game to me, never did have any good MP experiences with Shogun or Medieval.

... and I feel lucky that these games are so damned moddable, and the mod community just keeps growing. We've already got our OWN fixes for many of the complaints folks have... and with people already craving a MTW2, there's sure to be a mod in the works soon. Same with NTW I'll bet.

There's probably even some new tricks with this engine that will allow some innovative modder to do something really original, I hope so.

I've been a lurker in the community since STW and for all it's passion about what it doesnt like about this game, and all of it's passion about what it does like, I'm sure there will be many great things ahead.

All CA really needs to do is address the AI/pathing/group movement type bugs and we can put in more of the "preferences" changes ourselves.

... oh and hopefully campaign map MP is only one "generation" of the Total War series away! Something to look forward to.

I play all kinds of multi player games. If it has multi I play it. If I don't play RTW multi its not the end of the world for me. I bought RTW for the SP game not multi. If can get my competitive fix from FPS or other games. I havent tried RTW multi yet. However im sure the general community can come together with a set of mods most people will use. I know if a couple of my buddies get it, i'll have them get a couple speed mods and we'll have a ball.

I also bought RTW to play the single-player campaign in the first place, but I would be disappointed if the multiplayer part of this great game would prove to be a let down.
But so far it's all fun and happiness as I only played a few hours on the main map and haven't experienced any of those annoying bugs yet

Osbot,

Yes, I feel extremely lucky. I enjoyed S:TW, loved M:TW and this game is so much more and in my most favorite period. I've seen all the carping about killing speed and movement speeds, but to me, the game feels fine.

I'm playing my first long camp as Scipii, probably somewhere in the middle game (trashed Carthage, eliminated Numidia) and was just thinking today about how so many things that used to sort of bug me about the series have been fixed. As one example, the marvelous city icons that go under the names. I no longer have to page from city to city to city, I can just look and see at a swift glance what's going on and where I need to give attention.

Or the way they've given us provinces AND terrain we can use on a strat level. Or the way ships/trade works or the fact that they fixed ammo so that I don't need to MOD ammo for archers/siege engines to give them a llittle more.

I only play SP. Never have liked MP much. Only time I do MP is with a friend from the Left Coast playing Halo. I did play Halo for a while on my own and when the players are good, it's fantastic fun, but more often than not there are just to many lame griefers, just like there seem to be in any other game I've tried.

I feel immensely greatful for all the hard work CA did and how much they obviously listened to us carp and moan.

CA, I salute you!
