Just thought I'd say......

I offered my thanks to CA on a thread which has since slipped down the list, so I'll reiterate here. I have not enjoyed a game this much in 4 years, since I played Deus Ex the first time. I've not had a game keep me up until at least midnight, sometimes 2 or 3 a.m., on work nights in even longer than that. No issue with the game is serious enough to qualify my statement when I say: Thanks, CA, for a great game.

LOL That reminds me... it's 10 p.m.. I should be playing the game, not reading these forums.

I also think this game is one of the best. Right up there with XCOM and Civ (It actually reminds me of the old Master of Magic game, for the old timers). And yes, there are bugs and there some things we'd like to tweak but, all in all, its an achievement that's makin' twenty-foot waves.

I agree, to a certain extent.

There are some heated moments when people say unfriendly things, or whine. that's human ;). It doesnt matter though, since indeed most of the criticism is constructive.

Let's look back at when MTW came out. It had more AI faults than rome has right now.. And look at what medmod did to medieval.. I'm already scared of the AI after a modder is done with it *snickers*


When the mods come out, we'll have a serious field day.. Heck, i cant consistently beat medmod on hard, but i love playing it.. Now it's just a matter of waiting for.. Well, a mod for rome..

As for CA... My deepest respect to all of you. Four years to build a top title is an acceptable development time, and i'm happy to see that the time was extremely well spent.

Oh! Yes!

That never ending debate about mounted knights not being able to ride over the top of spearmen. I shall never forget it, learn't a lot of medieval history arguing that one.

Without doubt RTW is the best historical strategy game I have played.

Napoleon TotalWar next please

Criticism is good.

It makes a good game better.

And believe me, I want Rome to improve to its full potential.

I played it for days right now and had fun, but there are MORE than a few things that need to be looked in.

E.g. all powerful Cav and the broken Spear boni.

But nevertheless, I think you are quite right, RTW is a great game, cheers to CA!
