Has anyone tried "China: Total War" yet?

[RollingWave]

Errr no gunpowder was indeed invented and used in China first but it was not over 2000 years ago during the Qin... it was invented more like somehwere in the later part of the Tang
(which went from 618-907 a.d) and wide spread military use probably only came until the Northern Song dynasty which was around 900-1100 a.d

However with that said the Qin's at it's height would have wooped the Roman quiet easily (as the Romans were just starting their empire at this time... in late Repbulic it might be a more interesting comparason with the Han dynasty)

No need to take offense in other people's pure ignorace Byrsk. he knows abosalutely 0 about Chinese history anyway. like it was said in the intro of the Carthage campaign " they do not understand so they lie"

As for the mod though, have not tried it yet but i don't like the looks of it. for one thing the Qin probably didn't use phalanx that big (then again the greek phalanx is also bigger in game than historical evidance seem to suggest.. the Macedonian pikes were over twice as long as the greek once.. u certainly can't feel that in game.. Qin polearms should be around the length of Greek onces... usually 2m or so.

Then again, historical inaccuratcy is a lot less in RTW relatively compare to most other so called historical games... but it's still not hard to spot .
