Got tired of the current crop of MMOLRPGs and picked up MTW Gold again, then went out and got RTW and BI and am now messing about with the mods here and elsewhere. I don't think I've ever completed a game though .

My #1 complaint is the lack of a campaign map in the RTW/BI docs. I bought a Prima strategy guide used solely to get one (it's really terrible quality though, but better than none). That failed in the case of BI though. That is the worst excuse for a "strategy guide" I've yet seen. The RTW one is ok (the same info, and better, is available here and elsewhere, but the map is something); the BI one is a total waste of cash (It's a thinly disguised rehash of info easily available in game and a lot of the "hints" are flat wrong).

Anyway, just posting a first message to work towards full membership. Wanted to post a correction to a wrong statement in one of the MTW fora but not allowed yet .

Oh, to all the modders: thanks . I've done some in the past and know the investment of time and energy (Civ & Tropico). And I'm enjoying the ones I can run with RTW Gold and BI.
