I must differ from most of the patrons here.

I love sitting back and watching the fights.

I bought Medieval 1 but can not fight battles in it, the graphics are just...too bad for me. I can't look at it.

So the realism is a total non factor for you...you just want something good to look at?

Either a) Go play lord of the rings or some other fantasy game or b) go watch the history channel.

MTW was by far the best game in the series so far.

Easy, man. I know you tend to have strong opinions on certain subjects, but that's no reason one can't still be civil when discussing them.

That said, I don't think pev was implying that realism doesn't matter, just that great visuals are a higher priority for him than for a lot of us here. Some players simply can't deal with the older graphics of Shogun and MTW. We can't really do much about it other than to acknowledge that it's their loss.

MTW was by far the best game in the series so far.

You'll get no argument here.

If CA is able to improve the AI beyond what it was in that game, however, then it might have a serious contender for that honor. Of course, that's a pretty big "if"....

I dont disagree that the AI in MTW was good, I just, as Martok said, can not handle the battlemap graphics. It literally pains me to see it. Being one of the only supporters of Rome: Total Realism on this forum, realism does play a good part in what I look for in this type of game. That said, the majority of my gaming time is now split between SSB Brawl and Warcraft 3.

I do enjoy the graphics part of the game, but as you said in the other thread, AI is paramount.

I think CA is renowned for getting a good level of AI performance in conjunction with excellent graphics.

one without the other in the current world of PC gaming just wouldn't cut the mustard.
