Maybe graphics but I wouldn't say game play.

It was amazing for when it came out. You really can't put it against the new games because the graphics are so much better. I was addicted to MTW.

Hi MaddenKhan2,
Perhaps this thread and this thread will interest you.

In my opinion M:TW's immersion and depth went unmatched in the later titles. The features are certainly better developed than in M2:TW or R:TW - civil wars are empire wide rather than local, treason and plots can be more clearly managed and defined, while the AI is almost ingenious.

The tactics on the battle map are also superior - primarily because the more detailed maps allow a wide variety tactics to be utilised upon them. Balancing also assists in this - although there are a few units which beat everything, these are exceedingly expensive which counteracts their problems. Other than that though, all units have a clearly defined purpose - spearmen kill cavalry, cavalry kill infantry and missile units, missile units kill slow units, while infantry batter spearmen. In addition, battles are also slower, providing more time for you, and the AI, to make your manoeuvres and apply your strategies.

On the downside, the graphics are, in a way, showing their age. In an other way, they do actually look better - M:TW zoomed out looks much more graphically rich and realistic than R:TW at least. Also, the game is slightly less accessible to an RTS player, and the controls are clumpier, although this problem goes away once you have adapted to it.

Hope this is useful, cheers!

BTW, I don't advise a purchase if you have an ATi Graphics Card with any version of Windows Vista, or a card which is a member of Nvidia Geforce 8 family. There are issues which prevent M:TW working if either of these circumstances are met.

It is the MTW. M2 is a hasty RTW remake.

Hey all,

Yes.

Its campaign and tactical depth is superior to all other TW titles. Just bear in mind it'll look dated now.

[MaddenKhan2]

Cool. I Heard good things about MTW, but wanted to check here for more good reviews before I buy it


Since I love playing Mods (Thank you for the RTR and EB Mods for Rome ), What are good Mods For MTW? I hear Pike&Musket?

[Mouzafphaerre]

Buy the Gold Edition.

Pike and Musket, XL, BKB Supermod, NTW... there are many.

BKB Supermod.. Don't Think I heard of that eiher lol. What Time-Span is it in??

Hi {BHC}KingWarman888,

BKB Supermod.. Don't Think I heard of that eiher lol. What Time-Span is it in??

BKB's Super Mod is comparable to VikingHorde's XL - it, like XL, expands the main campaign through the addition of new units, factions and buildings. You can read more about this modification here.

Hope this information is useful, cheers!

BTW, MaddenKhan2, if you want to play the wide variety of M:TW modification, the Viking Invasion expansion pack is an essential - very few mods can work without it. You can either buy this separately, or purchase the Battle Collection or the Gold Edition, which already have it included.

I don't know if I can say anything, since it was the only Total War game that i've ever played, but im just addicted to it. Its one of the best games I have ever played.

What kind of question is that? :) Of course it is good. MTW/VI it is.
