Time for it all to go back to STW

G'day all

I haven't returned to STW yet, but I fondly remember fluid 5v5 games. That is what seems to have been lost in MP with RTW. I didn't get a chance to indulge in MTW MP, I assume the unit choices were do diverse to allow for even play.

I was quite impressed with the mod listed above, it looks nice but I don't know if the MP game would be up to the standard of STW.

Is this what we are after, balanced, realistic play with quick responses from a full field of 5v5? I can still remember the carnage and that some games lasted close to an hour and that wasn't because of lag.

You'd think the sprites woudlmake a comback and provide the ability to add a few more units per player with teh advance of technology?

Nice to see some activity on teh STW frant anyway, maybe I'll dig out the old disks and put it on the new machine. Its been a while and I'd enjoy playing what in all likelihood are probably the oldest and most honourable players int eh TW community. Remember the old honourable players website?

Ah it takes me back, thank God Uni was paying for my internet connection at the time.

Sorry, I just had to post again with my original forum name. I hate the new one, the join date is not venerable enough.

I can't stand folks with join dates of 2004-2006 spouting all kinds of spurious advice, some of them might be right but most don't have a clue.

They just don't know what STW was really like online. The musket wedgies, the monk rushers. It's all coming back.

No 5v5?. My memory was never good, but I could swear folks used to play 5v5. Yes, maybe it just felt like more with me trying to defend some patch of land against numerous groups.

Ah, the dim and distant past, ah, great fun.

I'll have to check out the mod, and hunt down my CDs (could be a big ask).

I'll see you round the server if I get things running.

Cheers,

So are most people playing the MTW/VI mod or the actual STW through a fake server?

I got the mod and files off your signature, but I reckon I'd have to pick up MWT and VI in a bargain bin somewhere.

That would be so awesome. I would love a revival of the old shogun simply because of its simplicity.
Maybe after MTW2 they will go back the "Age of the country at war" that would be awesome.
