    How much did you play MTW? Mine has only CTD once - that's not at all what I'm talking about. I'm talking about gameplay, not fancy dressing on a soulless product.

    played it a lot but after a while its was just selfcreated misions for me
    my tacticts whiped out every army even whent outnumbered 1:4
    (ofcourse count in my passion for a perfect army)
    but as example it way to easy just conquer the best trade countries put in every region an strong army upgrade everything and maintain your navy and whoila an aproximate 100,000 fl a year

    RTW is third in a field of three, pulling only 21% of the vote.
    This only shows the dedicated base of Shogun fans that has been growing ever since (until now).

    It neglects the fans who own the game R:TW but do NOT own S:TW or M:TW.
    S:TW or M:TW owners have internet & about 1/6 of them visit forums.
    'R:TW only' owners have internet (slightly less) but only 1/18 of them visit forums.

    So most opinions are not heard, and most R:TW fans do not like or even attend forums as much as the earlier fans do. This is due to the fact that R:TW is designed for a greater public, also drawing in more social gamers. STW and MTW tend to be more mentally oriented, and thus more active on fora. RTW fans are more likely to meet in a bar, like Halo fans.

    Sure this may change, but not a lot.

    I was without RTW for a week and reverted to STW & MTW to keep my twitching fingers busy. All I can say is what remarkable games they were in their day ... both still play very nicely, particularly STW. I found myself getting all nostalgic playing on some of the battlemaps where I cut my Total War teeth, some of the landscapes I know like the back of my hand. The music, styling and mood of STW was very immersive, and I enjoyed going back there.

    MTW was my all time favourite until RTW, and playing that again for the first time since last September I fell in love again with the Medieval period, but the graphics are so clunky, and the campaign so lacking in RTW's subtlety ... I really can't understand why anyone would ditch RTW 1.1 for MTW, irrespective of whether there's going to be a patch or not.

    Clicking to get a general's eye view of the action, and seeing realistically depicted armies panicking when they're flanked - the dynamics of combat in RTW are so much more sophisticated. Units of soldiers don't simply hack away at each other until one or other falls below a 'tipping point' in terms of casualties, RTW makes melees so much more realistic - no unit will stand and fight when successfully flanked and charged from the rear. That alone means that there is no scissors-stone-paper simplicity to this game. I have played about 30 hours a week of RTW since beginning of October ... it is simply the most immersive game I've ever come across, until the next iteration of this series that is.

    Your optimism makes my blood boil for RTW, Men of Wid, and refreshes my keen memories of MTW stretching a two year period, interrupted into two blocks.
