What are you doing here!?

[Banquo's Ghost]

My reply ought to be Monk's post with the word "ditto" appended, but that would be lazy.

1. What Total War game did you play first?

Shogun. I loved every second of it, even more when the Mongol expansion arrived, as I was very interested in the Mongol history. The battle map was such an innovation for me, and with variable landscapes of challenge and endless interest - it was just great! I can still hear in my mind, that immortal accented voice - "the enemy general is running like a whipped dog!"


2. Which TW game was your favorite?

Without doubt, MTW. Almost the perfect game - challenging, fascinating and endlessly replayable. VikingHorde's XL mod has given me even more hours of enjoyment.


3. What brought you to the .Org?

As with others, googling for the solution to a knotty problem.


4. What made you stay?

The community, particularly in the Main Hall, where members like Martok and Caravel made me so welcome, and sat with kindness through my seemingly endless AAR. Finally, an audience too polite to tell me to shut up! Then of course, the Dark Voices called me to the Backroom...


5. Do you still play any Total War Game? Please provide a why or why not.

Yes, but nowhere near as much as before. I am trying M2TW again, having given up after buying it on release. The interface of RTW and M2TW just doesn't do it for me (why is it so fuzzy?) and whilst the graphics for battles are wonderful, the strategy map somehow doesn't click for me. But I am trying a full campaign over the Christmas period, when I get a little more time for myself.
