Increased interest in MTW lately?

[Dayve]

CTD's? It isn't even out yet is it? Is a demo out or something? I can't visit the .com... Banned.

I dumped my girlfriend recently and now I have more time to post and play MTW........this must be the reason why!


PS. If any of you are in the same situation.... the answer to the question your wife/partner/girlfriend keeps asking is.........YES I do love totalwar more.

She hasn't asked yet, I'm dreading that day. Hopefully I don't put too long a pause in before lying, "Of course I love you more. Now can you go watch TV, I've got a battle to fight..."

MTW CTD's, not M2TW.

OT: How did you manage to get yourself banned from the .commie?

Off Topic and irrelevant for the Org. If you want to discuss this, you may do so through our wonderful Private Message system.

Because i can't keep my mouth shut sometimes and tell my true opinion, in the off topic section...

I got banned 4 times actually... The 4th being the final one where they banned my IP so i couldn't join again.

[caravel]

Oh well never mind, anyway the powers that be don't want it discussed, so:



I for one have never left MTW, and RTW doesn't do it for me, so I'm accustomed to this game and less than jaw dropping graphics, but i think alot of people could buy this and be quite disappointed, because nowadays it's sadly all about eye candy.

[Dayve]

Not for me it isn't. MTW is better in most respects than RTW. The only thingsRome has on Medieval is better graphics and the controls, which are much MUCH better than the ones in Medieval.

Medieval has better AI and much more features, a lot more interesting than the very few Rome has... Even the way naval control works is better, since the water is split into 'provinces', you know which ones you control. In Rome, it was just one big body of water with no seperations. Also the recruitment of vessels is better in Medieval, big recruitment cost and low upkeep to reflect how the crews were mostly away from home and couldn't be paid until they returned, besides they got to loot the enemy ships once they had a battle so i imagine pay wasn't so high anyhow.

Factions can return and there is civil war, which is awesome when you have to pick which side you want to back, although i have yet to experience a civil war i am greatly looking forward to it!

But yeah i don't care what anybody says, graphics will never make a game. My favourite game of all time will always be Final Fantasy 7, which is what, 9 years old? And the graphics there are terrible.

I love MTW and RTW< but my passion for MTW is coming back again :-) :-)

I started to play MTW+VI+XL mod after 5 months. I have problems with drivers for my graphic card. I remoded XL and now mod is almost perfect balanced.

I haven't played MTW in over a year or more. Recently I have less time to play computer games coupled with some buggy computers (will start to get those fixed soon). Great game, one of my favorites, love those battles and the economic management as well. Still, I have learned a few things on the forum, so I plan to return to playing it when I can sneak in games when my wife is out !

[Craterus]

I borrowed the game from a friend, and decided I like it, so I bought it yesterday. Gold edition cost me &#163;10, btw. Bought STW for &#163;4.99 too.

Now I have all 3 TW games, still undecided as to my favourite.

Dang, right when I stop visiting regularly is when this place heats up? Come on, guys, I promise I shower everyday! I can't be that bad to hang around.

Anyway, I'm glad to hear it, and sorry for my frequent absence of late. As in Bretwalda's case, it's been other games and real life (and finals currently, ugh).

Here's hoping for plenty of continued traffic in the MTW section!

Hey, Ajax, long time no see! I'd noticed I hadn't seen you much for a while now, but I thought you'd just decided you were too good for us. Nice to see you around again!

I've always liked MTW, but only found the .org recently. There's been a bit of a hiatus recently, as I took the decision to move completely over to Apple Macs (I work on these things too!)

Luckily, it appears that my MacBook Pro can be booted into Windows now, so once I've got that set up, I'm back on the MTW trail.

Even more luckily, my wife doesn't have a problem with my playing - she's a history buff too, and is heavily into Crusdader Kings which runs neatly on her Mac. She likes the strategic and dynasty building aspects.

[Barbarossa1221]

I like Medieval Total War a little better than Rome simply because its so much easier and fluid, all the provinces are clearly marked out and you can travel the globe in pretty much one turn with ships. Its just a little easier thats why I like it.

I borrowed the game from a friend, and decided I like it, so I bought it yesterday. Gold edition cost me £10, btw. Bought STW for £4.99 too.

Now I have all 3 TW games, still undecided as to my favourite.

He borrowed the game off me and i think wen my graphics card gets fixed i will play mtw and rtw again. i need to get STW as its only 4.99 .Also im still undecided what my favourite is between mtw and rtw but i think i need stw then i will decids.Also i think the posts on mtw have increased lately because people are going back to it as they know mtw2 is coming out and they getting feel of Mtw again.
