Well I don't really have such a poor opinion of RTW. Maybe it's because I never actually came by the errors that bothered so many people, or maybe it's because I just don't care all that much for the bugs and enjoy it for what it is... a game about conquring the ancient world! Which is probably one of my favorite settings! :)

Anyway, what I liked about it was the fact that you had a large variety of abilities to use diplomacy, a ton of units that allow for a fantastic variety of battles, and of course, the speech that the general/captain gives at the beginning of each battle. That got very old very quickly, but I still find them interesting every now and then, and I actually AM inspired by what he has to say occasionally!

So that's mostly what I like about it. The fact that can take control of what are my favorite ancient civilizations and take over the world!!!!
