Re: Total war players
I am not currently but played Shogun a lot - more than a year on line - and some M:TW too.

INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

Re: Total war players
I've started playing Shogun again. It's awesome - the limitted number of units make you think so much more about what you're doing than the steamroller approach of Medieval or Rome.
Cowardice is to run from the fear;
Bravery is not to never feel the fear.
Bravery is to be terrified as hell;
But to hold the line anyway.
Re: Total war players
I'm still exploring the many mods of Medieval. Like many I started out with Shogun though, and then really got interested with the arival of Medieval.
I love TW, they help me work out. For every round i do a gymnastic activity of my chosing. The hours fly and I develop some real muscle.
Re: Total war players
I haven't played TW for a while now. Am just waiting for the expansion to come out and then start over.
Shoudn't this thread be in the EH or FR since violent discussions are unlikely to happen here...?

I put it here because I want to reach the backroom people. Do all discussions have to be violent here. IF so - should not be a problem
Re: Total war players
I started playing Shogun again, after MTW was taken over by RTW by mistake. It was weird, maybe because I installed it in the same folder both of them.

Re: Total war players
I often play the Napoleonic mod for MTW, and do some modding for RTW. I am currently on my 10th campaign as the British on the mod for MTW, on the Reconquista taking Spain...

Re: Total war players
Yesterday there was 70 peeps on at the height of the action. On weekends you can still find 100 or more. Many old players have been returning. I even saw Panzer on yesterday wearing his old SPQR armor.Of course Toga and Ichi were there also. Their regulars like me.How many people are on VI lately...I gave up trying to find a decent game online when rome came out

Re: Total war players
I play VI MP when I know someone who can host. Nothing makes me more angry than sitting in there waiting for a host!
Even with all the old difficulties, especially the login, VI is the best game ever for MP. Rome doesnt touch it.
Re: Total war players
I play Rome to test for our EB mod... No longer play vanilla.

I just stopped playing RTR to talk to you people, so yes.

Re: Total war players
STW and MTW rule... RTW is collecting dust in my closet as I type this...
RIP Tosa
Re: Total war players
I got RTW for Christmas, played it a bunch for two weeks, then slowed down somewhat and returned to BKB's mod and the new Shogun mod for MTW.
Now, however, I'm very much getting back into RTW, and suspect I will only play more as the weeks progress now that I've been accepted on the EB clsoed beta team.

Re: Total war players
I don't play it any longer and not because of the backroom
Re: Total war players
Just started playing RTW again last week, had defected to EQ2 for a while but got fed up with it. I need to get back to VI MP, I used to play it every night but I haven't since RTW came out, probably no-one remembers me now :(
