Re: MTW or RTW? Which is better?
I come back to this thread, and i find it sad....MTW by 30 votes.
People, think of what a game rtw is, not of the bugs...you cannot deny that it was a step foward, albiet a bug-ridden one

Re: MTW or RTW? Which is better?
It is both a step forward, and a step back. What CA/Sega needs to do now is build on the Rome engine, and create the ubergame that Rome should have been. I think they just released RTW too soon, it needed at least another 6 months of work (and probably another 3 months in QA/public beta).Originally Posted by sapi

Re: MTW or RTW? Which is better?
Regarding memorable battles, here's the difference I see between the two games:
In MTW, a memorable battle I can think of was when i matched my upgraded, experienced late english army to (what i thought) a better position through wooded hilly terrain, only to be surprise charged in the flank by the entire spanish army. Cue 1/2 an hour of desperate fighting to try and salvage some parts of my army, only to have my King die as he led a desperate countercharge. Great stuff.
In RTW, a memorable battle I can think of was when my Scipii Army went through 3 twenty unit strong armies of the Senate and Brutii in about 15 minutes.
- I'm sorry, but giving everyone an equal part when they're not clearly equal is what again, class?

- That's right. And I didn't tap all those Morse code messages to the Allies 'til my shoes filled with blood to just roll out the welcome mat for the Reds.
Re: MTW or RTW? Which is better?
Six months more work is what I estimated as well, but it's really hard to say. The game has become so complex that it can't be finished in the development time available. I saw Jerome's web site before he removed the pages which advertised his talent for fast track design of large programs. As an engineer, I know that quality in the final product suffers when you move to fast track design. RTW v1.0 had more problems compared to the initial release of STW or MTW. The original STW v1.0 was delayed more than a year before it was released.
_________Designed to match Original STW gameplay.
Beta 8 + Beta 8.1 patch + New Maps + Sound add-on + Castles 2
Re: MTW or RTW? Which is better?
I agree. R:TW should have been better than M:TW. But it obviously isn’t.
Big step forward…straight off the edge of the cliff.
