Getting nostalgic - what to play? STW, MTW or RTW?

I recommend STW, it is after all the oldest TW title and as you've described has a style and atmosphere that the sequels have been unable to emulate. For a specific recommendation, I always enjoyed the Uesugi campaign - you have a little more breathing space then most of the factions, but not enough to sit back and wait for the others to do your work for you, as the Shimazu can. Plus I always liked building up that little island region of the north coast.

If you post your problem plus the specifications of your computer in the Apothecary forum, someone might be able to help you to get the game going.

Medieval, Egyptians, Early period.

1. They make good money, especially once you've established a trade network.
2. They have a lot of exclusive units (and/or are limited to just 2 factions, such as Ghazi Infantry & Bedouin Camels).
3. You start in an interesting strategic position, in that you must contend with the Turks and the still-powerful Byzantine Empire, plus it's fun defending against all the Crusades that are thrown at you.
4. Jihads.

I'd say STW as Oda. Or if it's MI, takeda 1550.

Agree, the atmosphere of the Japanese war-cries, music and spirit is impossible to surpass. My choice would be the Mori clan with its dreadful warrior monks, who have known still, what does the Bushido mean...
