Best map!

[King of Atlantis]

Which map do you prefer. The risk style one from MTW and STW or the 3-d map from RTW?


I put this in here to get an impartial judges.

[King of Atlantis]

Can people please explain why they think RTW is better?

Although I am a MTW-addict,

I prefer the RTW style map. Much better made......

But the parchment type detail province thing it's the best(from MTW)

the rtw map is one of the biggest flaws of rtw. The ai armies wonder around not knowing where to go and all i end up with is siege battles. It is one of the reasons rtw got so dull.

Isn't this more the fault of the AI rather than the map?

I prefer the RTW map. It's more detailed and colourful, plus each unit moves a fixed distance (even if it is too small), which is more realistic than it is in MTW, where a unit can move one province, which can be a very large or a very small distance.

RTW. The map adds some flexibility to where and how you will attack a province and even though it has less atmosphere than the STW or MTW maps it is better for gameplay, though I wish we could play multiplayer campaigns as the AI can't really take advantage of the map as well as a human player.

MTW-STW

I like the look of it as compared to Rome.
Rome as a few nice touches like the Volcano etc, but a combination of the two would be nice, you could zoom down from the risk style into the Rome style would be my prefered option.

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

I like the VI map, but not the vanilla MTW or STW maps.

[BrandywelBhoy]

No question! Rome map.
It just gives so many tactical opertunities

For example u cant choose what hill or Forest u want to fight in the Shogun or Medieval maps, or is there something i wasnt told all those years

If you actuall compare the componets of RTW and MTW, RTW sounds like a much better game. But, when actually playing the game MTW is much more enjoyable and it seems to me that a major cause of this has to be the map.

After analyzing,

I say that:

MTW is loads better on all chapters, except graphics.

I've come to the same conclusion, but it is hard to say something like that as fact. Some people like RTW better. It's really a matter of prefernece.

I have to strongly disagree. MTW better than RTW? No way! MTW is way too shallow for me.

I generally agree, although I have to admit I feel Rome is superior in at least a couple other ways. For one, I think Rome's music and soundtrack is generally better (Medieval's is good too, but Rome's is simply superb).

I also prefer Rome's combat system and interface over Medieval's. Overall, it's easier in Rome's battles to handle and maneuver the various units in your army. On the other hand, units in Rome move way too quickly across the battle maps, and the kill rates are ridiculous. Whereas battles in Medieval tend to drag on a bit, I've never fought a battle in Rome that lasted more than about 5 minutes. Somewhere in between the two games' combat systems, there's a happy medium.....

I LOVE the music from VI. The drumming beat is just so motivating when im about to raid some English.
