Where s that lynching rope, Mouzafphaerre?
Seriously, I m not a fan of Risk at all, in fact I used to find most games too difficult and hard to put my attention to for any length of time. I ve actually devolved to STW from , first , MTW to MTW/VI then to RTW then back to MTW now to Shogun Total War.
I m seriously considering STW to be the best.
The RISK map is, as I ve mentioned before, decisive. Your decisions are crucial to your progress and build up. It s more of a chess-like feeling. So the RISK comparison may be deceptive.
As to what is immersive, that s a more complex issue. Its a lot to do with projection of imagination and being faced with (once again) decisions that count. On any level. I ve not worked it out yet,and I may never do so, but there is something quite involving about the choices you make in STW with "additional"
factors that really get to you.
I ve been thinking of beginning a thread sort of along these lines but have nt thought it out fully yet-after all I don t want to spoil the fun of the game by over analyzing it.
To cut it short: theres something very gutsy about Shogun Total War.
