How Did You Find This Place?

[KukriKhan]

Just thought we would do an unscientific poll of the various ways we arrived at TotalWar.org.

For me: I bought Shogun:TotalWar, after reading a review at ZD.net praising how it displayed thousands of warriors on the screen at one time (innovative back then). I typed "http://Shogun:TotalWar.*" into my address bar, and found totalwar.com. Read some posts from a guy called EradoSan, apparently a techie, and followed a link (among many) he provided to totalwar.org. Looked around, was welcomed, stayed ever since.

How did YOU get here?

[Zalmoxis]

I could not get my MP on RTW to work, and the official forum sucked in help sections. I googled total war and found the org, asked for help, and though I didn't get it fixed back then, I like it here.

I was looking at FAQs for RTW on Gamefaqs, and one of them mentioned a guide written here. I decided to check it out, and found an entire forum dedicated to player-written guides. I was happy, I lurked there for awhile, then I decided to register.

When trying to set up A vpn for playing STW on.
i noticed i could not send udp's through a lan connection.
I then was seaching for programs to technically create a tunnel through the vpn so i could receve udp diagrams.

This was not easy through windows xp.
I decided to get Free bds.
As i was about to start seting up the vpn server, I decided to find out if any 1 els had the same idea as me in the past.

I searched for Stw.
i found here.....

If you find my 1st 2nd and 3rd posts you will see.

my 1st was asking if any 1 had sucsesfully Enabdles udp over Vpn,
my second was, How does fake server work
And my 3rd was Telling people the server was running.

Since then ive been here almost every day.

Thats my story :P
So google did it.

...uh...pretty boring story...I hated Totalwar.com, and I saw Totalwar.org link, clicked on it...and have been here since. Nothin' special.

[ajaxfetish]

I'd seen previews and played the demo shortly before medieval came out, but wasn't able to pick up a copy till 2 years later, so I got the $10 Walmart special that came without a manual. Needless to say, I was lost. It was my first total war game, and I didn't have a clue. I figured out some of the basics on my own, but soon was searching online for plenty of answers. Google led me here, and after several months of just lurking and collecting information I decided to join.

It's my first experience with any online forum and still by far the best.

I do remember following the link at the .COM but I'm not sure if that was the sole way I made it here.

After a long hard days battle on the plains of Yamamoto I headed for the nearest tavern to get me some saké. There I met a couple of mercenaries who told me about this magic place where all the great warriors of the world unite and hang out.

[Matrixman]

I was doing a search for guides as I'm getting into STW after a long stint with MTW-VI.....followed the white rabbit to someone's post (can't remember who) then lo and behold I was in wonderland

[Lanemerkel1]

I followed a link from gamefaqs

[Monarch]

I had RTW on order from play.com, got frustrated of waiting so to kill time I decided to find some tips/strategy guides on the net. Google pointed me here.

[King Noob the Stupid]

I looked for a solution to the "newer nvidia cards/drivers" problem in MTW. (and I'm still looking, but at least a little playing is possible now)

[Just A Girl]

I know the solution to that Problem,,,,

GET AN ATI CARD

Id like to help but i dont have any nvida cards any more i dont think...
Maby i have a geforce2 mx lying around some where and prehaps a geforece4
but i dont think there new enough to suffer the problems form me to be able to find out what Exactly it is.

[son_pacho]

It's funny that I should see this...

I was just thinking that I dont even know what website this is...lol

I found it by first going to the official page for TW...their forum is run by EZBoard...and is not informative at all...

then I searched the net (yahoo) and Frogbeastegg's Guide came up (it consistently comes up too)...hit the link...bookmarked it...lol

the funny thing is when im not at home I have to do a search (rome total war and the guild)...lol...and I usually get some link to one of the forums...and that is the only way I know how to find this place...lol...that's pathetic isnt it?

[Ciaran]

Other. I got the link here in a German forum and since the knowledge of an international, englishspeaking community usually tends to be vaster, I registered and stayed.

[Craterus]

I was recommended (you shoulda had that as an option Kukri).

[Seasoned Alcoholic]

Came across from TOTALWAR.COM via this modding topic, basically because of the lack of any solid modding tutorials (at the time) and the like @ Total War Forums. OMGz, what did it start?!

[EDIT:]Voted for the link at totalwar.com.

[Dutch_guy]

I was trying to find some guides, typed it in google, and found myself checking out all the guids in this great forum !

I joined about a week later, to write my own replies in the guides section gradually I went to the colosseum and from there to the throne room / tavern.

[Pomerium]

I was just looking for help on game play for MTW and googled around and found this site. I think I struck gold.

I checked the website on the M:TW cd case, and found the .org from the .com.

Not sure really, but in a time long ago I think that I was engaged in a half-hearted, desultory search for info on some Japanese related matters, when I stumbled across the .org, a place where a bunch of guys were discussing seemingly everything under the sun as they were waiting (and waiting, and waiting, apparently ad infinitum) for some game called Shogun to be released. Honest guys, it will be out soon!
So, I waited too, not only because I was British and so had a cultural predilection for patiently joining queues, but because it was a superior forum, not just a vile pernicious flame war. I've transgressed the rules on occasion myself, but I've always accepted the iron rule of the .org admin.
Luckily, as a bonus, Shogun actually turned out to be a pretty nifty game. I only purchased it because of the .org and I was glad that I did.

[xemitg]

is it sad that i can't remember?

[RemusAvenged]

Back when STW was hot off the shelf. Ah the days. So much has changed. Thank the Creative and the ORG!

[Crian]

I remember getting a little bored with MTW and decided to look for a mod or any download that could give me a new experience and that's how I got here... Google.

I also found the Napoleonic and Hellenic Mods at about the same time.
