    Default Time for it all to go back to STW

    The creators, the new administrators of TW all have a vision ... to create something new for the TW fans. When in reality, most of those that were first drawn to the game simply desire a new adaption to it. Or. maybe i'm wrong.

    Still, what I loved about STW was it's fairness (even if it did have a few glitches that the dishonorable used ... and Hello AMP), all units were evenly manned, one had a distinct number and style of unit to choose from - the same as the opponent. One had choices of to add honor, upgrades (remember the Super Ashi?) to weapons or armor - but it came down to having the same choices. It came down to testing what worked and what did not, it came down to everything was even but the General. It remains the most honest war game of all time, the most elaberate in its method of movement, and the real deal for those willing to experience TotalWar.

    The present owners of the rights need to get back to the basics, and cease attempting to better the original - it simply can not be done.

    Imagine! A new Shogun! A new TotalWar.

    Gah! Awakes from dream. Still, wouldn't it be ......____________!

    Puzz, I agree, but ... STW/MI is far superior to the crap being shoved down our throats today. If nothing else ... the equality of choice, the planning and method (s) are missing in todays renditions.

    Why don't they simply go directly to WWI, and prove the futility of war. Period.

    IMHO, the STW series atleast had honor - those that did not show respect to others were molified or ignored. Today, it simply does not matter. Something has been lost, and the community simply is not the same.

    Still, it is just a game .... and getting a corporation (s) to understand the possibilities of creating a lasting venue of a series for a game maybe difficult for them to comprehend. Maybe in fact it is an impossibel deal. Then again, would you be willing to pay $20 a year to continue playing STW? Or, more?

    I mean there are chumps out there creating "starwars" empires paying by the hour.

    Just a thought. nadda mores.

    I would pay a $1.000 a year to play stw again... (having problems logging in)

    I would pay even more to have a nice comp with nice internet connection in 2000, and to be there from the beginninig... experiencing it all... even I get emotional about it.. I've only been year for 1,5 year or so...

    Question Re: Time for it all to go back to STW

    I still play STW/WE, since it came out. I enjoy RTW, but my heart is still with STW. If only they would rebuild STW using RTW engine, I can only guess how that would be. Go figure!
