I get the impression Kraggenmor that you much prefer MTW to RTW.If thats the case then i can reassure you further.Many of my friends who disliked RTW and carried on playing Medieval have now returned to this latest installment in the series and absolutely love it to bits.
Now the reasons for them disliking RTW were quite varied (eg) They didnt like the period,Map,diplomacy,senate missions etc the list goes on but all are unanimous in their liking for MTW2.

There was no bigger critic than me when RTW was first released but if you like Medieval you will love the second installment.
