Where is Gah! here

**The Foolish Horseman** · 02-03-2007, 19:39

i dont know the concept of Gah! please will someone fill me in on it?

**Dutch_guy** · 02-03-2007, 19:39

I am of the opinion that M2TW is the better game, keep in mind, I'm comparing both 1.1 patched games.

Consider this my write-in vote for GAH!

Medieval 2 is somewhat better than Rome, but for me that's not saying much. While it does show CA stepped up their efforts this time around, it still doesn't grip me the way Shogun and MTW (1) do.

They need to make a RTW 2!!!!
there should be other campiagns like the Alexander campaign not just the Imperial Campaign. For example: Hannibal's Attack on Rome and Julius Caesar's Callic Campiagn for starters.
maybe even some Greek campiagns?

I know i would buy it.

Agree with Martok

Too many campaign features without good reason and previous battle engine settings still missing.

Better than Rome, but that was expected (same engine, need for more sophistication as there is no element of surprise, outcry for battle speeds etc).

Emphasis in blitz strategy.

Winning battles by frontal cavalry charges (!!)

3D map still dissapointing and animations, colors, unit cards and voice work very annoying and childish ("These people will call you king now, sire"

)

Much more "quantity" and considerably less quality.

Tactical battles a shadow of their former (engine) self.

Tried it at a friend's and decided not to buy now or in the future as the battle engine is missing features that cannot be restored with modding (i had enough of fixing, modding, testing, patching, trying etc with RTW (although certain mods were really worth it) only to find the same good old quick routs occuring in slightly more time than in vanilla).

Can't say i was disapointed - i knew the same engine would be used.

Less spectacle and more tactics will only do it for me (and better battle view and controls - the current ones are incredibly inadequate).
