Great game, especially with retrofit plus grand unit, or BC.

Of course i can't play RTW now that eb 1.1 completly destroyed my rome total war, so that even efter reinstalling and repatching Rome five times the install still wont work, so Med II's all i've got.

Actually i think SS is less fun than vanilla, and about five times less historically accurate than say, BC. (someone over at SS seems to think that the Hagia Sophia was built in 1200ad)
