I liked M:TW better. heres why:

* The battles. I loved the reinforcment feature. I know there is one in rome, but as somone else said., you can break an amry to easily (its not hard when the stupid enemy general makes a suicudal charge at the beginning of the game!, WTF is that all about?)

*Hostages. That was an AWSOME feature of medieval. I loved breaking an amry, then watchign that little ticker climb up, then slaughtering them all at the end! i loved that slaughtering sound as well.

*The tactical map was better. i like romes map, but i liked the idea of moving 1 province at a time much better

*archers seamed to be more important in medieval & you could find great speical archers like long bowmen & itailan archers.

*ROMES IS TOO EASY! on vh/vh i still kick the ai's ass.

* The game ends after u capture 50 provinces! i want to conqure the world god damb it!
