    As for what happens, well I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise .... let's just say victory is its own reward

    As far as I remember, the victory screen isn't graphically impressive (wouldn't fit with the overall look of the game anyway) but in any case better than the RTW popup (which isn't difficult...). But I do recall that it was very atmospheric. And it's a full-screen thing, not a tiny popup.

    Can't comment on the comparison to the RTW ending, having never seen it, but will agree with the description offered by my learned friend...

    This is OT but it came up:

    Do you only play MTW:VI Bamff?

    Just curious as a) that's cool and b) if so, no reason for you to even look at RTW. After years of experience in MTW, you would just steamroll the whole map.

    Yeah, I have to confess that I have only ever played vanilla MTW, MTW:VI, and (just of late) have dabbled with XL.

    It is such a good game (IMHO), that I have never felt the need to try any of the other TW titles. At some point I may, but I feel that there is still way too much territory for me to cover here!

    Very cool...

    As said, really no reason for you to try the other titles if you're experienced in MTW: VI...

    Obviously, if you enjoy MTW, well that's reason enough alone right?

    Still- After this much time, I doubt you would stick with the others even if you did try them...

    Like Bampf, I to only play MTW/VI XL In fact, since I got MTW about 3 years ago I have played little else. I am interested in RTW and MTW2, but our ols computer isn't up to it. But now I am facing a problem. Our old computer is on its last legs and we are about to get a new super duper machine. So RTW and MTW2 are an option soon, but I am worried that the new set up will not be able to play MTW - so I am a bit torn at the moment - I foresee being on the Apothacry boards trying to get the game going.
    To loose MTW will be a great shame because it is such a great game - with the emphasis on game. I suppose when it came out it was high on the eye candy stakes but it is the gaming aspect that is so good - there is always a new challenge and I think you could replay the game over and over again and still have new things occur. To me MTW is a bit like chess - simple game, nothing special to look at but constantly intellectually challenging, always enjoyable, always surprising - if I am about to loose it, the new games have a lot to live up to.
