    I voted "Gah". I preferred Shogun unmodded or MTW with the Samurai Wars mod. Haven't played the newer TW games, except Rome and Medieval2 once or twice and they were pure crap.

    Did you try ancient total war for medieval 1? Thats a good mod.

    Naaa, I liked some of the eastern factions but that was it, the nubian one was different....

    The upkeep costs as a whole are just mad, I find it runs pretty slow for me which is never good, my computer has seen better days.

    my first TW game was rome. i played that for a year or so before i found the glory that is
    EUROPA BARBARORUM

    and now i play no game unmodded. except of the FPS genre.
    last summer i got ETW, which i played with Darthmod (it was a must, the AI was so bad in vanilla) until last month.

    very recently, i started up EUROPA BARBARORUM again.
    and i dont regret one minute of it. in fact i even made an AAR about my campaign as the Casse- see link in my sig, [/shameless advertising].

    I'll take a look, I may even review it...

    Though I notice you put humorous, many 'comedy' AAR's aren't funny at all, but if you pull it off just right, they can be the most entertaining.

    I shall be reading.

    Also, Hooahguy, do you have a TWC account?

    cant tell if this is an insult or not, but if it makes you feel any better, Hax likes my AAR.... to quote him, "simply excellent."

    yup.
    Not an insult, just saying a lot of TWC comedy AAR's are horrid, Having read yours I beg to differ, its a fine read.

    I asked if you had a TWC account because I wondered if you had posted your AAR in the writers study there? You should if you haven't, then I can review it and put it into the Critic's Quill, if you like.

    The vanilla play of Shogun was very very good (also not many mods for that game for obvious reasons) and there was something about the vanilla feel about Rome that I loved, even more than the EB feel (UIs and such) although EB improved on about just every area, the gameplay was at times a bit too realistic (so expensive to and time consuming to build grand things and armies - gotta love the cheats ).
