    I'm still playing, although that's mainly to do that most of my other games don't work any more on my computer, including RTW

    Heck yeah. I play MTW almost everyday thx to the great BKB mod, XL mod, and the Samuri Wars mod, and HTW, and lastly but not least NTW. I never ever get bored with that game.

    I play MTW at least once a month, but I played it so much before RTW came out that it is not as fresh as RTR is at the moment. At some point I may play RTR/RTW once a month and MTW almost every day, but for now I need to play with the new units and such.

    I give MTW a go every now and again, although I struggle to keep playing the campaign for long periods. I actually have about 6 campaigns going that I play for a few turns at a time, and then I return to RTW in the vain attempt to make it playable.

    I still play Medieval for at least several hours every week. I fire up Shogun now and then, and Rome almost not at all anymore. Rome is visually stunning, yes, but the gameplay is much stronger in the other two games.

    Sadly STW WE refuses to run on my comp no matter what I do. I used to love it almost on par with MTW VI.
    I only had a brief affair with RTW and the lack of challenge in that game puts me off.
    I haven't played MTW for a long time but no doubt I will sink my fangs into tender flesh of ZX mode by Zarax tomorrow (a week off starting Monday).
    No other game in known history has so much replayability I dare say.

    I would, but lately MTW keeps crashing on me. Something to do with graphic drivers or something.

    Yep, played a couple of hours of NTW this afternoon

Give my command to another, for I cannot, I will not, lead an army into battle against a civilized nation so long as the Gauls survive. I am not the young man I once was, but I swear before Jupiter Optimus Maximus that I shall see a world without Gauls before I take my final breath."

    I have STW (+MI), MTW (+VI) and RTW. I only still play MTW/VI. STW feels a bit old now and the campaign map is not very complex, but has a great atmosphere and is the classic game that introduced me to these games. RTW is disappointing and I don't play it. I dislike the campaign map and overall design, and the battles, despite the eye candy graphics, are two easy and fast.

    I'm currently playing as the German/HRE, Early period, Expert level and control most of western europe. MTW still does it for me, though despite owning the game as soon as it was released here (same with shogun), I possibly haven't played as much as some other people due to time constraints (job/wife/family etc).

    I still play MTW and have dropped RTW for the time being, at least until EB and RTR 6.0 come along.

    I'm very active in MTW/VI play both in MP and SP, just cant get bored of it! I occasionaly try RTW, but a lack of presence from my friends and clanmates in RTW drive me back to MTW/VI. The same goes from my clan most are still in MTW/VI. Happy Hunting!

    I have been playing MTW since Christmas and absolutely love it. I have been honing my battle skills on quick and historical campaign battles and campaign skills playing the campaign on easy and auto resolve. After conquering europe a couple of times, I have started a campaign as the english on hard and fighting out the battles myself. After a cock up in Wales, I have just stuffed the King of France's army - killing him into the bargin - in Aquitaine with an army of 4 units of hobilars and a unit of peasants - the sight of about 120 hobilars trying to kill the King of France who was the last man standing was a sight to live with me for a long time - I love this game and see me playing it for a very long time.

    heck yeah !
    Actually, I'm getting back to it. I haven't played in a while, but that's definitely NOT because of RTW. Like other people above have said, I don't find it challenging or interesting enough, and the atmosphere and gameplay are much better in both STW and MTW. And I very much prefer the battles as they are in MTW, I was utterly disappointed in the battles in RTW...

    So yes, I'm thinking of starting a campaign with the English or Sicilians...

    Still trying to complete my actual campaign with the HRE. The Golden Horde is here since about 3-4 turns (and there are many, realy realy many of them ) - somehow i forgot about the 1230-thingy and did not made any preparations.

    Ducking in the woods with my spears an AP infantry while mongol heavy cav-reinforcements keep pooring in - it's still fun !

    Hi Obadiah

    If you want to try the Samurai Wars for MTW/VI mod look in the signature of any post by Puzz3D.
    This is a Shogun mod for MTW/VI
    There are also a few posts on this mod in The Jousting Fields.
