    yeah, but don't you miss killing thousands of men without a single loss with an army of war dogs? or light chariot archers?
    I hope this is your strange humor.
    Quick answer: HELL NO.

    Well, I do miss watching thousands of dogs mauling everything in their path. But I am also one to play Serious Sam from time to time even that one is not quite historically accurate.

    Well I have to admit the game has plenty of potential, perhaps that is what bugs me the most...

    It could have been literally the best game strategy game ever... I hope CA decides this is true, and works up another patch.

    I mean if the engine had been poor and a bad game came out, then it would be no surprise, but if the engine is good and a bad games comes out, then it is infuriating because we realize the potential, and that to me makes it far worse!

    Light briton chariots (archers) were one of my favourite units, but I like everyting that moves fast and shoot arrows. :))) They allowed me to play Britons as if they were Sarmatian. :)

    The game RTW does have potential it’s a unique type of game no doubt, but my god as far as I am concerned CA failed to build on the potential of MTW especially the strategic aspects, a lot of what was in RTW appears to be an afterthought tacked on to give an appearance of depth but its really rather shallow, it certainly was not done with any real commitment and that’s what can make it so annoying at times. I hope they were only practising for MTW2?

    I think they just ran out of time. The files have a lot of things that they couldn't get finished, it seems. RTW is a "revolution" version, adding so much to their engine. MTW2 will be an "evolution" version and should be much more polished as a result.

    Ah! the Generals! they are numerous, but not good for much (especially if they're Languorous)!
