I don't mind crappy graphics as long as the gameplay's good. What do you guys think? Is it worth it to grab the other titles or are they too outdated?
If you like RTW then I would say go out and buy the others asap!

However, shop around as these games are already in the budget category in some stores and there are also some great package deals which include the expansion packs.

Do NOT buy STW without the Mongol Invasion expansion pack as its awesome and also solves some of the initial game bugs.

and

Do NOT buy MTW without the Viking Invasion expansion, its worth it just for the music.
