i second that. and since WesW didn't pimp his mod, allow me to do it for him. for ages now, the only mtw i've played is wes whitaker's Medmod (click the pic in WesW's sig). it really makes the game more fun and challenging. it's currently in the beta phase of version 4, but i still haven't found the time to try that out (still using 3.14).

i've also heard good things about BKB's supermod and Vikinghorde's XL mod, but i haven't tried them.

Another convert, great. I have say, although I play both I prefer MTW, even though Rome has a much sleeker design and better grathics.

The first battle I played after I saw DensterNYs I just did a quick battle with my Italians against a random French army. I just sat back and let the French come at me. Well, turns out their Gendarmes moved against my open right (left anchored on some woods).

I still won because I saw them coming...but the fact that I actually had to work (it was a tough fight) lead me to the troubles of actually getting the rest of the *@#$ game to work.

I will try some mods soon, and it is great to hear there are so many worthy ones out there. I checked out a post in the Engineers guild to see what to play. But right now, I am happy punishing the Sicilians (and avoiding the Italians) with my Byzantines.

Thanks guys,

Azi

The hell with the AI . If youve only played sp your missing the true greatness of MTW/VI. Its the multiplayer game where it really shines above the rest. 4 on 4 battles can take over an hour with the battle ebbing and flowing in favor of both sides. Thiose are my favorites, the epics as we call them. Its what this game is all about .

Welsh campaign update : I had finished the North's. They had captured leaders & cood runner virtues - and those Carl Mercenaries are really an asset to any army. Then the Mercians attacked me, but their 1/2 peasant armies are good for training. So things were happening well.

And then some vikings attacked me in Beocrite. I repelled the attack, but with losses, the North's reappeared there. 3 full stacks. I'll continue tonight, but this makes me pessimistic about the next part of the campaign. Really a challenge!!!

i played MTW first and then onto RTW after the patch was released cos of the all the bad reviews from the MTW players. but even though it looked pretty good got sick of all the rebels and all the routing and winning everything so went back to MTW lost my first 2 battles back in MTW havent played RTW since
