I bought RTW, but ended up playing STW WE instead.

I agree Gatoshin. I would much rather see a revamp of STW WE and MTW VI with the new game engine than see actually new games. I hope the guys at CA have this on their agenda. I am ready to buy right now..

I agree with alot. A STW and MTW remake would be excellent. I bought Rome but only play various mods. I can't wait until Sengoku Jidai mod comes out. IMO:
STW WE>MTW>VI>RTW

Shogun is so great. It's a shame that there hasn't been a remake yet..........

Addicting ain't it?

I didn't play MI but the original had a terrific pace. There's no bulldozing since you can't churn out troops at a high rate without getting broke. Great balance.

OK that's it! You guys made me order a copy of STW (just did it). So far, I've only played RTW, but reading the posts on the .org convinced me to try out STW (it's only 7 euro anyway).

I got the Warlord Edition. Are there any patches/expansions/mods that are essential to improve the gaming experience?

And now the waiting begins... should get it somewhere next week...

Edit: Can I have both RTW and STW running on the same machine or do I have to uninstall RTW?

I doubt youl regret it lol :). im new to this forum but have loved the game for years.
The setting is perfect for a game of this type, but whats more perfect is the technolagy for a game of this kind.

the "battalions" of men you controll each serve a purppose,
cavalry and "pike men" archers and musketeers all have there distinkt advantages and dissadvantages. The ballance in fighting is prety damn good as in what can beat what,
i.e cavalry runing in to a wall of spikes = dead cavalry.
but cavalry slaugters most other things. Height advantages and tree cover are all part of your battle plan,

I could go on lol.
and tell you how much i prefer the layout of the single player campaign mode compared to rtw.

but if youve read all this then ive already wasted to much of your time :)
