    I haven't played since two weeks after 1.2 was released.

    You know the whole "OH BOY" feeling and then the "ah shit" feeling

    now I'm hesitant to be excited about anything to do with RTW. So far the history RTW has made me incredibly cynical about anything good coming out in an official release. Therefore I wait for the EB Mod.

    Couple of times a week. I don't have the time to play daily, unfortunately.

    Still, you find the time to post more than 28 posts per day, but I assume that's why you don't have that much time

    I haven't played it for months. Partly because I have too much work, and partly because it bores me to fight against such a stupid AI. I'll play it again though, once mods such as "The Wheel of Time" are out.

    That's a bit of a cheapshot, Ldvs. In Craterus' defense, we all now know that if you want to play RTW and get anything out of the campaign you need to schedule many hours in a row...the load game "feature" in action.
    Rome Total War, it's not a game, it's a do-it-yourself project.

    That sums it up pretty well. I played it nonstop for about two weeks after it originally came out before deleting it off my hard drive. After the patch came out, I played it for about 3 or 4 days before realising that while many minor problems had been fixed, the obvious glaring flaws are with the core gameplay and not so easily fixed. Uninstalled again.

    The only thing I really miss about it when I play MTW are the awesome seiges. Otherwise, everything else about RTW is inferior.

Thou hast dared to mock me, and to question the power of Melkor, master of the fates of Arda. Therefore with my eyes thou shalt see, and with my ears thou shalt hear; and never shall thou move from this place until all is fulfilled unto its bitter end". -Tolkien

    Myself; I can't get enough. I play every chance I get. It's actually disgusting. I work at least 50 hrs per week and I am in school full time carrying 18 credits per semester (garrrrgh). Not to mention I am also married.

    So, despite being totally overtasked, I still spend every minute I can on this game. I play nothing else and have played nothing else since buying this THE DAY IT CAME OUT.


    The EB mod is really keeping me going to the future, as is an expansion.

    Wow, everyone is so negative about RTW, I'm enjoying it so far, sieges are much better, but perhaps the poll here won't work that well - I play daily, but not for long, wheras some people might play a long time once or twice a week? No offence to anyone, but I think the game actually works quite well

    about an hour a two a day, if I get the chance. I was excited about this game like you wouldn't believe the day I got it and spent every waking moment playing it. Of course, after 4 months that enthusiasm is starting to wane a little.

    I usually play once a day, but sometimes I take breaks to play STW and MTW:VI. They are still great even after all these years...
