Welcome


First of all - yes, a lot of things changed between the game (fortunately sometimes to the better). However, the controls are very different. Fx. in stw/mtw you use left mouse to move units, in rtw you use right mouse to move. And a lot of others things as well - so essentially, you will have to unlearn some to learn RTW, if you start with stw/mtw.

That said - both games rock! I can really recommend playing, as soon as you are tired of RTW, go play shogun, then advance to MTW. Mtw is a lot more difficult to manage than either RTW or STW. Stw is the simplest - yet it's waay cool, you get NINJA and SAMURAI

Hehe, anyway, have fun dude
