Yeah. I guess I'm a die-hard. MTW is one of my all-time favorite games and I still play it. I bought Rome and didn't like it, so when I want to get my Total War on, I roll back my video drivers and load up good ol' MTW.

I don't see myself buying any more Total War games, but they seem to be doing just fine without me, and I'm quite happy modding and playing the one that I like, so no hard feelings on my part.

As far as why I like MTW better, I don't know how to get into that without sounding like I'm bashing the newer games, which I don't want to do. I should just say that I like the game for the tactical aspects of the battles and the strategic aspects of the campaign map. It's all about gameplay for me, and nice graphics or cool new features are just no substitute.

Of course, that's just my opinion and I'm sure there are plenty who prefer the newer games, and since I'm not allowed to have them shot, I've decided to pretend like that's a valid point of view.
