when i first got shogun, i played 5-6 hours a day. that slacked off until just before medieval came out to 10-12 hrs a week. then i rollercoasted back up to 5-6 hrs a day again.

the curve was much flatter on medieval. until rome came out i played 15-20 hrs a week. then i played rome in the next wave of heavy use. i started switching back and forth between medieval and rome up till barbarian invasion at the 15-20 hrs a week level. bi made my play come to a screaching halt. i really didn't like bi.

i didn't even repick up the old games for as much as 6 months. i was burned out. then i reinstalled medieval and since then play it almost exlusively. my level today fluxuates but i usually play 3 or 4 campaigns heavily like the old days. then i just visit forums and talk about the game for 2-3 months with small usage. i think this trend i think will probably continue as i don't plan to buy m2tw. i just can't afford the machine it will take to play it.
