    Default God I miss MTW

    RTW makes me miss MTW.

    I liked how I could grant governorship of a province to any unit I choose, and that that governor would add his bonuses to the province no matter where he was on the map.

    I liked how 1 army, inside the fort or not, could simultaneously guard every mile of border AND keep down unrest.

    I liked how you either controled a sea zone or didn't.

    I liked how, so long as you had an uninterupted sea chain, you could ship an army all the way across Europe in one year.

    I liked how easily moddable nearly all the unit stats were (especially movement speed!).

    I liked how teching up and increasing the size of your city was only a good thing.

    I liked how orderly the units moved in the battle screen, and how disorderly cavalry moved when they broke formation to pursue individual men within a target nme unit (as opposed to this fish schooling BS where RTW cav run around nme units rather than engaging them 1v1).

    Lastly, I liked how your family members were bred for governing AND war, and were not tethered to Town Hall.

    I disagree, RTW Single player strategic map is far better in every area than MTW, the battles at them moment i prefer MTW but that is only because i know all the controls and its just a matter of time and practicde untill i crack the RTW controls, But MP well havent tried that yet because of all the bad reviews and the fact that you need broadband and i dont have broadband yet!

    All in all i cant wait to get home from work and continue the slaughter of the Gauls!! Julii Victor!!!

    I miss only the effectiviness of spearman and i would buy a MTW 2 based on the Rome Engine, featuring the better strategic map and siege features.

    Medieval was a much better game, the battles were smoother, easier to control, and much more satisfying. You weren't constantly fighting against the horrible unresponsiveness of your units. And by that I don't mean the delay, I mean the fact that they often flat out refuse to do anything.

    I'll eventually go back and start playing it again, Rome is fun and all, but Medieval is the best strategy game I have played since civilization 2 was new.
    "Sit now there, and look out upon the lands where evil and despair shall come to those whom thou lovest. Thou hast dared to mock me, and to question the power of Melkor, master of the fates of Arda. Therefore with my eyes thou shalt see, and with my ears thou shalt hear; and never shall thou move from this place until all is fulfilled unto its bitter end". -Tolkien
