MTW or RTW? Which is better?

[Puzz3D]

Remove all non elite units, then balance elite units to be equal.
and the result is a challenging battle A1. But doing so does make for boring gameplay with so few units.

STW had 14 unit types and every clan had the same units, but the gameplay was not boring in either SP or MP.

However being able to merge units together to form one uber unit,
is an absolute joke, and for me totally destroys any chance
of being able to enjoy an online game.

Don't expect this to be changed in the xpac. Mike DePlater already said that two men can't occupy the same space, and as far as he's concerned that's sufficient. Of course, that doesn't address the fact that in MTW units fought with 50% effectiveness if they overlapped another friendly unit because the men were "squeezed too tight". Also, units would not remain overlapped if stationary. They would automatically move to an open space.

now there are many more gameplay issues widely discussed throughout
the community. But we must remember that RTW will not be complete untill BI.

What CA considers to be "complete" is not what the players consider to be complete.
