Thanks for all the replies everyone, especially folks like ToranagaSama, old school vets whose opinions I really respect.

To all of those who said "just buy the game already", I would if only my PC could handle the game...my poor ole computer nearly curled up & died when I put the RTW demo CD in. Hell, even MTW plays choppy on my PC

(I really don't see why it's left to Modders to put the game *right*); and

It could be worse, you could be in the 4th category, and then you're really screwed up...
