Which game did you play first?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

For me it was Shogun, and I absolutely loved it. One of the best TW games I have played, the only close competitor being RTW.

MTW, my friend and I thought it was awesome until RTW came out. We still laugh about the fighting animations and eastern horns. :D

Medieval was my first, and tbh it's still probably the most thought-provoking and challenging game of the series. The change to tile-maps made everything LOOK an awful lot better, but actually ended up decreasing the AI capability. The MTW AI on hard settings was the best thinker of the series.

Rome's a better game, don't get me wrong (and more moddable, yay!). But I do have a good nostalgia for Medieval TW.

I have voted for Rome, because it was the first TW game on my computer... I've played Medieval on my friends computer a long time ago...

I don't know, I quite liked the paper map style, felt more strategic and was more immersive IMO.

RTW, although I wonder how I came to know this series. I was looking for a game that expanded the unit capacity (compared to the unit number limitations that AoE imposed). RTW just killed me when I got it.

I'd play the older ones for the supposed better AI, but I doubt they will run for Win7 64 bit :P. I also doubt I could stand seeing sprites fighting each other

Indeed.

I really enjoy the atmosphere of the campaign of Shogun, just as Mark said, but yeah the battles just don't do it for me so I autoresolve them.

Med 2 I'm ashamed to say. Avid fan of RTW though. Best in the series.

I still haven't played any of the games past Rome, just never appealed somehow.

I've only played Rome.  I don't even own it but my friend has lent it to me for the past couple of weeks.  I'm now avoiding him so I don't have to give it back. :D

I'm gonna buy it and Medieval 2 when I get me some money.   I would get, say, Empire but the age just doesn't really appeal to me.  But a redo of Rome with better graphics and such would be excellent.  And naval battles.  I'd buy it in a heartbeat.  B)

Naval battles are the only thing I've ever felt I wanted to add to Rome, true. Better graphics maybe but mehhh.

MTW2 is just perfect in my opinion...
