I'm curious - how many people here got the Alexander Total War expansion for RTW?
I confess I have an ulterior motive for asking - I'm working on a (very) mini-mod for it[1] and am curious about how many other members could play it. I was hoping Lusted would do the work for me, but with the sad death of his superb-looking Alexandros mod, I am going to do something quick and dirty instead.
I know it's been discussed before, but to make the poll more interesting, I'm asking what ATW owners thought of the game? I confess I was disappointed - primarily with the battles in the campaign. They were too hectic and too easy (rather quickly turning into insta-routs), like the vanilla RTW ones are. The campaign seemed promising - with a tight economy and timetable, plus a lot of opposition. But I disliked having to butcher every city I conquered - it felt more like Timurlane Total War than Alexander.
[1]No new graphics, units, map etc - just a minimal reworking of some text files. I've modded the stats for movement, morale and kill rates so that battles last a bit longer. I'm also fiddling with the economy so Alexander does not have to exterminate everything in his wake.
