    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 - just, because current level of AI in the game is not for RTW map ...

    We have to look at it this way. Many people here have played 100's of hours of mtw, but get bored of rtw in a couple months. so what makes mtw so much more enjoyable.

    AI-the ai is about the same in each game, but in rtw it has to deal with more than it can handel.

    graphics-the graphics of rtw are much better

    time period-i think both time periods are equally intesting.

    units-rtw's units are much more diverse than mtw

    map-RTW map is better, but AI cant handle it

    That is they only thing that i can see that would make rtw worse.

    RTW, definitely. On the whole I prefer MTW, but the map on RTW is much better. One of the main reasons is that it is much more open to using different strategies on the campaign map rather than just in the battle.
