Hey guys,

I played shogun religiously since the start and the original medieval as well as well but kind of lost interest in competitive TW when Rome: Totalwar came around - it just didn't feel right and I didn't like the route they'd gone down with it.

But, that was many a year ago. I have a new PC and am considering returning to totalwar, but I'd like to know the state of the multiplayer:

1. How active is it? Comparable to shogun/MTW days

2. Doing creative still suck at netcoding/bugs etc? Or are the later games better polished?

3. Are there shogun/MTW vets who still play the newer games like napolean? If so what do you think of it compared to the old games in terms of playability, rock/paper/scissors gameplay etc.

4. Is it worth me buying? Considering I don't play single player, I'm looking for a competitive RTS to get into.

Thanks for any and all input!
