Sorry to have to point this out, Old Celt, but that's exactly the case! Having a history of playing a series of games, no matter what the series, will always mean your opinion has more value when you are talking on their relevant forums. How often will you see the veterans views widely respected and noted on forums, while the newbies are often disregarded, (if not scorned) for their views!? Lets face it, it's the way the world works.... those with experience usually know more about the subject.

And frankly, I can't see how anyone who HASN'T played MTW and STW before RTW can EVER say anything about whether Rome is a great Total War game. How can they, when they obviously don't have all the facts and haven't seen the development of the series!? Only the veterans who played every game in the series, one after the after from the beginning of STW, can truly appreciate the differences and improvements that each new game has brought around.


One last note : When this site is the only site with a link on the Offical TotalWar.com website, I think you can safely assume that not only are the members here "core" players, but that CA also think so too.
