Yipee, got my new (ish) PC yesterday and the first thing I did was install total war. It now kicks ass as I have no lag and the graphics card means I can play it in full res with all the nice bits. I actually got my m8s 3 month old PC as he just bought bits for a new one costing about 3k. Oh and a nice new 19" 4ms TFT monitor. Life is bliss.

I then got into a massive 2 vs 1 battle vs a rebel held city. I expected the AI to bodge it but they actually did quite a good job.
I got to the middle just before they did.
So maybe the 1.2 patch isn't so bad.
I might actually consider buying the expansion. What do you think, should I?

Hey, now I've got my new PC, I was thinking of installing a mod, which one should I put on? I like realism more than graphics, but I would like a bit of a grapics improvement. I also want it to be extreemly hard as I find the plain verison too easy.

i've added bugfix 1.64 and now i'm going to add,
Mundus Magnus, v.2.0

Ok don't add bugfix and that mod. Just the mod will do. Yeah I like the large map. Pity the AI general I helped out charged and died. Why the hell do they still do that!!!

Roman General Speech: There stand the Cartheginians a proud and noble people. However they are no match for the might of Roman arms!
My years of experience shall see us through this men.
*cheers and clashing of pilum on sheild*

(The battle begins)
General: There are the enemy men, get them!! Cheeeearge!

Peasant 1: Where he hell is he going?, I'm stuffed if I'm running to keep up!
Peasant 2: I think he's just showing off, he'll be back in a minute to order us around.
Generals unit in full armoured cavalry charge!! *Taran Taraaa*

Peasant 1: He's not going for the elephants!
Peasant 2: He ****** is.
Peasant 1: I can't watch *shades eyes*
Peasant 2: Oooooch, that made a splat.
Peasant 1: He Dead?
Peasant 2: As the proverbial Dodo, lets piss off now before the elephants see us.

Mundus Magnus is pretty cool, but I´d take Darth 5.8, that´s MM with Darth´s formations and loads of new cool units (the roman skins, however, don´t look as good as in the stock game, but that´s no problem and can easily be mended).
