Re: MTW folk RE: RTW
lars573, fyi in MTW you had more options on screen that allowed for faster gameplay. This was immensly important for mplay especially, but even made the single play more enjoyable. Hotkeys (I use shift 5/6 ALL the time!) are great but I loved those MTW formation buttons!Horrible interface. Bad controls,
God do I miss the right click menu for skirmish!I still prefer the old interface (it worked better in battle.)
Hear me:
There are many ways to power.
But know this: while strength is important, it is the most rigid tree that is shattered by the storm, just as hard stones are lifted and hurled by the wind.

Re: MTW folk RE: RTW
Never once played multiplayer MTW or any TW or any RTS game period. So you can see how speed is not an issue. Ease of us is, and MTW interface was not that. There was so much sh*t on screen you could (and I did often) click the wrong button by mistake and have to stop fix what you did and then do what you intended to do.Originally Posted by KRALLODHRIB

Re: MTW folk RE: RTW
Hmm. . .I never found it confusing. Maybe it's the mouse you used or perhaps there was a proc lag? It was that element-the onscreen controls-of accessibility that I found expressly convenient.I did often) click the wrong button by mistake and have to stop fix what you did and then do what you intended to do.

Re: MTW folk RE: RTW
I always found there was a load of useless shit on the screen in MTW... menus...submenus etc.
And now I have got used to it, I find the RTW control system so much more intuitive. Now whenever I play MTW (rarely), I find the control system archaich and unnatural. The AI is no better, you just get more annoyed by routing units coming back to piss you off. And once again, I'll mention the jedi generals. Dammit, the battles are unnattractive to look at because everyone is dressed in grey. I don't care how unrealistic it is, I like the colours assigned to different factions in RTW/BI because you can discriminate on the battlefield.

Re: MTW folk RE: RTW
Agreed. But I never liked nor disliked the little sprite-men of STW and MTW. They served their purpose well enough.
