Please make a choice that best reflects your opinion of RTW: 1-10.

[IrishMike]

Hmm.... no options are showing.

[Divinus Arma]

Fixed. Please consider carefully. The fate of humanity rests in your hands.

Come on you jerks! You flame and praise in the same post. Show some love here! Throw out that voice.

It no longer interests me. Medieval had me playing for months, but this is so shallow, like buying an ice cream cone and only getting a sugar cone with nothing in it.

I didn't know how to answer this, because while I think vanilla RTW sucks, and doesn't deserve more than a 4 or 5, I just installed RTR and suddenly the game has become a lot more fun, at least for now.

So I've compromised and given it a 6. Playing RTR has made me realize the potential this game has, which could be achieved with a bit more tweaking and polishing from CA. What I'd especially like to see are, obviously, improved campaign and battle AI, a better strategic balance (something to be done to stop the steamroller effect), a better developed diplomacy (for example, factions should gang up against any faction which takes the lead in number of provinces, until they knock it back to average size, as in games like Imperialism II) and more moddability. Come to think of it, it probably wouldn't be that hard to make diplomacy itself moddable, that could make for some pretty interesting mods...

4 - could have been great, but wasn't and still isn't.

Keep em coming here folks.

[Ser Clegane]

Voted 6 - RTW is not as great as I hoped (though my reasons are different from those that are mostly mentioned on this forum), however, I still continuously play it and have a good time with it.

[tai4ji2x]

gotta say, those were some funny descriptions for poll choices

[wipeout140]

i voted 7/10 because its is a fine RTS game

[Craterus]

I voted 7 because I like to play it etc. (the usual reasons)

[Arrowhead]

7 here as well. Great game love to play it.

[tibilicus]

7 here

[Voigtkampf]

My sentiments exactly.

[Kraxis]

6 as I have most certainly had a lot of great times with the game, and played it a lot. But a lot of it is simply not finished enough for my tastes. It could easily have been a 9-10 but it hasn't.

[Kekvit Irae]

I voted honestly. The game gets a 7

[Mikeus Caesar]

I voted 6, as it is definately a nice way to waste a weekend.

[Jambo]

Number 6 for me.

Btw, you might want to take out the reference to heroin as a source of pleasure. After all, this is a public forum.

[Red Harvest]

Jambo, While I understand your sentiment, I don't really see how that needs to be censored. It is not promoting heroin use, but using its effect as a descriptor. The accounts I've heard and read from heroin users describe it as an intense pleasurable experience literally producing sexual orgasm for some within a short time of injection. Unfortunately, this ability to so strongly stimulate the pleasure centers makes it incredibly physically and mentally addictive allowing it to completely control their lives and thus eventually kills many of them. It is an absolutely deadly destructive drug to the user, but in the text it conveys the intended thought.

[metatron]

It's good in it's own right, but it follows MTW and STW, which are 8-9ish.

[Bhruic]

Pretty skewed poll, imo, as there is no game in existence that I'd rank higher than 7. So, really, 4/7 isn't so bad.

Bh

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

A great game, addictive, not without its faults, but a truely outstanding acheivement. 9/10

[doc_bean]

I gave it 7, it still is one of the best games out there imho, certainly one of the best *recent* games, people have been comparing it too much to Civ3 and MTW, but how many games of that level come out a year ?

[Colovion]

As it is. 3. I would've chosen 5 but it's not playable if you're seriously considering playing it without changing anything. Couldn't choose 4 cause I don't like TV, so 3 it is.

[Gregoshi]

7 - though it has potential (and I was hoping) for higher. In my view, there was a big improvement in the campaign map over the previous TW games, but graphics & sieges aside, one step back on the battles. There is little I've run into that detracts from the game, but there is some stuff that prevents it from obtaining the next level. I am enjoying the game and despite the "warts", it still wins the beauty pagent.

[Betito]

This poll is a very nice example of the gaussian distribution...

btw i voted 9, but perhaps it deserved less...

[Benny Moore]

Please! A good poll should have a maximum of three choices. Two choices is best. Any more than that, and you do not have a true reflection of the community's sentiment. You have a bunch of mismatched opinions, which can be just as easily gleaned from reading posts.

If you want to know how the community in general feels about something, your poll choices must be general. Therefore, a good poll would have two answers: "I like the game" and "I do not like the game."

By the way, I give the game a two. I would give it a one for playability, stability, realism, and historical accuracy, but what effort that went into it and the potential the game has demands another point. No, I do not like the game any more. I am not playing single player at all, and I only started playing multiplayer again because a group of people from the other forum started playing together.
