Which game would you prefer.?

**IceTorque** · 05-31-2005, 15:32

A game with STW style graphics but with a 20,000 man army.

A game with MTW style graphics but with a 10,000 man army.

or RTW with it's almost 5,000 man army.

without a doubt i would be playing the 20,000 man per army game.
Because when i'm in the heat of battle in RTW and " zoomed out "
the you beaut graphics don't look so good anyways.

More men charging towards me = more fear,

more fear = better exitement

The better exitement = better game,

IMO

STW 20,000

One of the reasons i hate rome is the pitifull amount of men.

when u see 120 no dachi charging at you in STW,
You thought OMG I better do something.

Then you saw 120 Yari cav coming at you from the other flank,

And its time to Panic,

Yell OMG And tell your yari samurai ,
"RUN Over there" Protect me!!!

and send your own 120 no dachi to attack the 120 no dachi that are charging you,

Just to cool,

In rome, its

Oh here comes a few units of horse men,
never mind theres not many of them any way,
"YAWN"

I have to agree, compared to RTW, the battles in MTW and STW were absolutely massive. I remember my first battle as the english, invading scotland, and i thought wow, this is big, even though it was only 500 v 600. And then my next battle against the Germans, i thought WOW!! because the battle was huge. It was 5000 v 5000, and it was amazing. And now, i look at RTW, and i think, hm, yes, a battle. Only 500 v 500...

The more the better i guess...

Were the MTW battles really bigger then RTW?

I don't think there is too much in terms of graphics difference between MTW and STW. It looks like it's running the same engine, so I don't see that there is a huge difference there.

On the other hand it's been a long time since I've played STW.

STW has some HUGE battles
Now MTW isnt far off the same amount of people,
But RTW Pales in comparison.

I voted MTW , but I didn't play STW and if you say grphics is all the same than cnsider me voted for STW

How to best explain???
AH Yes Time for my patend pending SUper duper wide angle lense Panaramic Screen shot's,

From a seemingly quiet day out with your troops

Battles get intence

But the loss of life is severe for all

----------------
STAND YOUR GROUND YOU MISERABLE BUNCH!

--------------
Its hard to fit all the units in to 1 picture,
But this is my army, Just mine no allys or enemys,
The oposition had the same amount of units as well.
But there off screen

You cant see ALL my units there either But close enough
===============

Rtw may have snazzy gfx But They lost A lot of feeling from the battles,
I say STW is still the best for the feel of a battle

STW

Bigger battles......detail is nothing during command, however let's not forget that both STW and MTW had their army size limits. If there was a battle between 2 armies, each 5000 men strong, they would not all be present on the field. Many is the time I crushed the army before me and waited for reinforcements to arrive only to kill them as they entered the field. I have always wished for massive battles but let's have them all take to the field at the start of battle.

Still, nice screenshots Shambles. Only STW has captured the feeling of true battlefields IMO

**Shambles** · 05-31-2005, 20:37

well those are 16 x 120 units x2 All on feild at once,
and ive even had 16 x 120 x 4

Around 4k and 8k or something respectivly
But those are custom battles,

You can get even more on the feild if you try

**Mikeus Caesar** · 05-31-2005, 20:56

On RTW, it is possible in a custom battle to have 22000 men on the field. It's more slow than Molasses in December, but it's nice to know you had an epic battle of thousands slowly playing away on your computer.

**Orda Khan** · 05-31-2005, 21:22

Custom and MP battles .. Yes obviously but in SP campaign it will not happen. I never had the chance to defeat an army 5 times my size that rolled on and on beyond my flanks, just silly reinforcements that were easily slaughtered

The real questions is, what would you pick.

STW graphics but a steller AI?
MTW graphics with a good AI?
RTW graphics with a crappy AI?

The graphics just don't matter if the gameplay sucks. Now Rome graphics with a stell AI with 20,000 troops in battle at the same time would rock my world! I might never leave home.
