Taurus pretty much covered everything.

Well, apart from that, if you want to know how active this forum is, you can observe the list of online members at the end of the main forum page. At the lowest (not counting when the server is down) is often about 20, and mostly are between 30-80 right now. However, this number is for the forum's current "mode" - rather inactive since the games talked about here have been out for quite some time. Expect the forum to practically explode with hundreds of online visitors all the time when Rome Total War: Barbarian Invasion is out.
