I give up

[Aelwyn]

PS Rome being so bad had made my girlfriend one of the happiest people around as I now spend less time on my Pc and more with her

Same for me. My girlfriend has seen me more recently then she ever has. And now I'm labeled as a 'good boyfriend' because I have been more attentive. Little does she know its only because some other people she doesn't know did a poor job creating a game. Kinda funny if you think about it.

And I just tried to play online again last night, since the one and only game I have played. And, it still is the only one, since I "Failed to connect to host" every time I tried to join a game. I was online for well over an hour last night. Not one game would even connect.

I'm pretty much done as well with the game. And most likely any further CA game.

Too bad Ael. I have give up too 2 weeks ago. SP is not enough to keep my hook on RTW. So i am looking for another game now ........

VI fixed several bad things with MTW and it's the most evolved MP platform we have in the TW series. Although the paper-rock-scissors system isn't as top notch as in STW 1.12, VI is still wonderfully enjoyable especially when you use different maps and settings rather than a bland high-steppes game.

I'm playing VI again yes..

I've made an STW v1.12 stat for Barocca's STWmod for MTW/VI. It plays remarkably like STW v1.12. I'm now evaluating the costs of the last 3 units, ninja, kensai and hatamoto, and will release this stat after that. Krypta and I are also in the process of converting all the original STW maps for use in MTW.

For one, I am not giving up.

I still play VI on wednesday. But the more I play RTW, the more fault I find to VI.

I am not denying that RTW got many faults, and I am not going to list them all again. Too many of them. But when I got a good RTW game going, it's good, fun and tactically challenging.

Now, VI also got a couple of issue that seems small before but glaring now. Feel free to laugh at me;
- left click to select, left click to move/ attack is confuding me a lot. Very unconvenient, I keep selecting units in the mess instead of gettting them to move... or the opposite.
- I don't know which units I am controlling anymore. Glow and green arrows are ugly, but at least you know which unit is selected! In VI, I am not sure, I got to look at the screen, I am not used to that anymore

I'd find it very difficult to go back to VI only. If one day I give up (and that's not now, that's for sure), I'll give up on TW alltogether.

Louis,

That's why it 's wise sometimes to press enter after you moved a unit, and hold shift while clicking it s destination
On the other hand, I had troubles seeing the glow heh
All things seem to be a matter of habits

I'm jealous of those who've played RTW online and found it lacking due to the bugs. I bought it the day it was released in the US and have only been able to get into 2 games! Every other time it says "failed to connect." I can't even get into a 1v1 with a clanmate.

MTW/VI is the first and only time I've ever played anything online so I'm not giving up yet, but I have given up on trying to log into RTW online. I'm back to medieval for now, though far less frequently than I used to. I'm playing with "experimental" armies now which puts me at the mercy of "standard" armies but I'm managing to eeek out a little more fun from the game. I wonder if a "no pav" rule might add some enjoyment to it. Nonetheless, I think RTW or a successor to it is the best hope for the TW community. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Like others, I'm off the RTW MP scene until theres a marked improvement in the game. It sucks up too much time with too little reward, as finding a game you can actually join is painstaking. I hate the lobby also, its so ugly it makes my eyes hurt. Think i'll pop back to MTW and see how many peeps are still there.

[KyodaiSteeleye]

loads mate, after an initial lull, people are starting to stream back - there's a good community going most nights now.

Join the crowd...

After playing RTW for several weeks and then going back to MTW, I can say I've never been happier with Viking Invasion. So far it is the closest CA has come to the multiplayer game we are looking for.

As for RTW, we'll just have to wait and see.
