    I have never had a problem with MTW graphics, but then again, I don't really get impressed with graphics all that much. They do put up a much better fight though. As the scotts in BKB's mod can attest to today. They slaughtered me with a cunning little move through the forest today.

    You know, I admittedly used to consider myself to be something of a "graphics whore", but I agree with you on this. Medieval and Rome are proof that eye candy doesn't always trump good gameplay.

    Rome is fantastic to look at and watch--absolutely fantastic--but that's where most of its appeal ends. The are only two other ways in which I feel Rome really improved upon Medieval (or Shogun, for that matter):

    1. The combat UI; and

    2. Rome's music and sound, which along with the pre-battle speeches, helps to lend the game some badly-needed atmostphere.

    Aside from those three things, however, Medieval is superior in almost every other way. Rome may be a better game in terms of how it looks and sounds, but it falls flat in almost all other respects. Medieval has better gameplay, more factions to play with, far better AI, and--perhaps most important of all--more atmosphere.

    Whenever I play Medieval or Shogun, I almost always lose myself in what I'm doing and become immersed in the world. For some reason, that doesn't happen when I play Rome; I'm constantly aware of the fact that I'm only playing a game, and that it's not real.
