MTW after RTW

[Morindin]

Yea, I know exactly what you mean. However, I found that when playing MTW after rome, the controls were simply wonderful. I only needed to click once and didn't need to fight with my men over orders. The left/right click switch messed me up though. I really wish that they had just made RTW a 3d MTW with new skins, it would have been the greatest game ever. Now, medieval doesn't seem quite as impressive, but RTW has me enfuriated at its blatant flaws and inferior controls and AI. What you said about each making you feel like playing the other is exactly it.

Btw, you do use the arrow keys to move arround in mtw....don't you?

Yes I do, but I prefer the straff left/right in RTW.

Im not sure if you can set this up in MTW but I find it more logical to use the keys to move, and the mouse to look, click buttons, etc.

Being a gamer of many genres the typical FPS setup is "wsad" to move and mouse to look, with RTW simulates quite well. MTW is OK when you get used to it, it just takes a bit of getting used to.

Also the camera seems to move sloooowwwwly in MTW even with shift held down, meaning you double click on units more to get over to that side of the battlefield (which means you cant rely on the mouse to look around as much since your clicking!). RTW you could zip around the battlefield quite quickly.

At least the damn tilt works properly in MTW tho.

I guess it comes down to personal preference really. The fact that the MTW controls are bug free is incredably refreshing. No more units ignoring your orders, running/walking when you want them to do the opposite, etc.
