With some of the issues with RTW still being ironed out, I recently started playing Baroccas STW mod for MTW again. While it took me a few battles to get used to the old controls and the old faithful sprites, I did enjoy it.

The battles lasted long enough that you could actually sit and watch what was happening and even give orders that may influence its outcome!

So on the wholeo while it was really hard to compare the old sprites to the new graphics of RTW on the pros side the battle are much more enjoyable both from a having time to watch the battle develop and sitting back enjoy the action while its taking place. I have to admit theres something to be said for sitting back drinking a beer watching your monks holding off a No dachi attack. I realise now what a click fest and how stressfully fast the RTW battle really are.

If you spend 10 minutes setting up your line the last thing you want is the actual fighting to be over in 60seconds - from a game play and enjoyability perspective

what are you playing now and how does it stack up?

Well I have just (today) gone back to Medieval, completely unsatisfied with Rome, I lose interest far too quickly, even with the RTR mod. I will be looking at a mod for Medieval soon, probably XL or the Shogun mod.

Armchair Athlete 09:12 03-14-2005

Went back to MTW pretty quickly after playing RTW, playing XL mod

Drisos 15:31 03-14-2005

Lonewarrior 23:31 03-14-2005

Gah, it's finals week

Mablung 09:20 03-15-2005

Colovion, I too am waiting for EB, it is my last hope for Rome in the Roman Period, otherwise I will look to Sengoku Jidai or Citadel. I still love Medieval, that atmosphere is great

Just so much...heavier than Rome, I love it!

MTW XL Mod

Come Together 04:10 03-17-2005

Gah, i really don't want to play RTR or any other man, and i can't stand RTW vanilla. Yet, i seemed to have lost my MTW cd, and i'm not really playing anything at the moment then.

IrishMike 04:17 03-17-2005

None, I'm playing Hearts of Iron 2. Wonderful game.

Laridus Konivaich 01:39 03-18-2005

Playing? Nah, modding. RTW. I have been making a Magna Graeca map, which will probably be done one or two months from now. See the associated mod at: Hellenic Wars. I have also gone back to Medieval recently, since VI is the best!

L`zard 10:11 03-19-2005

Playing NTW1 for the 1st time, just to remind myself what the M:TW engine feels like.

Hmmmmmmmmm..........I thought there were things I liked better in mtw, lol!

May join ColdKnight in HoI2 tho...while I wait for the modders to work-out with R:TW and for CA to do an expansion, eh?

Wishazu 11:00 03-19-2005

im playing the latest version of RTR. they seem to have finally achieved the balance they`ve been after since RTR first came out. However im looking forward to EB with great anticipation.

Mablung 21:06 03-19-2005

I have gone back to Rome for a Germania campaign with RTR, I am enjoying it more than any other RTR campaign so far

Kekvit Irae 21:57 03-19-2005

Alternating between RTW and MTW using my mod

doc_bean 15:27 03-20-2005

GAH ! Between working on my thesis, debating in the backroom and keeping my girlfriend happy, I don't seem to find the time to play games anymore.

I just installed the 1.2patch though, so I might be able to play a little bit tonight !

Try being married and having a baby. I'm lucky to be online at all.

On a side note, 500 posts!

Craterus 15:56 03-20-2005

Spartan117300 21:03 03-22-2005

RTW aint all that bad, i went back to MTW a week after buying it but after i got the patch and the online problems were fixed...it started owning, MTW just doesnt feel right anymore, theres too many features im used to having now that MTW lacks, i dont really care about graphics but the only thing MTW has on rome is more maps and a better online community(as of August)

Jammy Dodger 08:59 03-28-2005

Does anyone else here have difficulty completing a campaign in R:TW? It always seems like a great idea to start one, building my economy and so forth but after a while I just lose interest. Have now gone back to M:TW VI playing a campaign as the Welsh, but am eagerly awaiting the release of Imperial Glory.

Craterus 12:03 03-28-2005

i don't have difficulty completing the campaigns, you just have to keep it interesting, i've got loads of wars going on at the moment so there is usually two battles per turn..

SpencerH 15:58 03-28-2005

Nothing. I guess I'll go back to Gran Tourismo while I wait.

ichi 19:02 03-28-2005

Shogun for MTW VI Mod. While it has a few little blemishes, it's great for SP and MP.

and when nobody is online for STW mod then I just switch over to VI.

I almost quit entirely due to the fact that I just do not care for Rome at all, but after looking at several PC and PS2 titles I'm back to ordering Naginata around.

RTW with SPQR mod......love that mod......has kept me playing RTW for a lot longer.

Craterus 19:30 03-28-2005

Why do you love it?

(Just keeping the forum alive)

I'm playing NBA Live 2005 a lot now, I haven't play RTW today.

Attalus 02:50 03-31-2005

GAH!!

Without the mods/skins tweaks made by the community...I just can't touch 'em anymore.

Silent Hunter 3...ALLAAAARRRRMMMM!!
