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.

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 googled Rome total war FAQ (or something like that) and got a link to frostbeast guide here.

I started playing MTW again after a long break and since I had been participating in another online forum for a game, decided to see if there was such a community for MTW. I googled for forums totalwar and presto! arrived here.

I lurked for several months and discovered so much new about the game. The knowledgeable people and respectful atmosphere really impressed me, but also meant I wanted to be able to contribute a little before joining.

Well, one day I was bored so I thought it'd be nice to install MTW again. I wanted to spice things up a little bit...maybe with new battle maps or new historical battles. Then I googled "Medieval - Total War" and bunch of sites came up. I visited TW.COM, checked out the download section but didn't see anything much there. I went here and all hell broke lose.

You know, I can't remember exactly how I first stumbled onto this place. I could be wrong here, but I want to say I was just playing around on the internet one day, and randomly typed in "totalwar.org" instead of "totalwar.com" just for kicks.... And lo and behold, it pulled up a forum where people were discussing Shogun. Imagine my surprise and delight!

I *think* that's what happened anyway. I just know I didn't find it through totalwar.com, as I didn't stay in the forums there long enough to find a link to this site. (Even back then in 2000-2001, the Org was a friendlier, more genteel place than the offical message boards--I never did get an account set up over there.) I just lurked here for a long time, reading threads and picking up tips here and there for dealing with the stupid Takeda and Imagawa clans (you really hate those guys when you're playing as Hojo or Uesugi!). After what was probably a year or so, I finally signed up as a member--most likely because Medieval had finally been announced, and I wanted to join in on the general gabbery. I've been a loyal member ever since!
