Your first TW game
« Reply #15 on: January 03, 2011, 01:44:47 AM »
For x reason I still prefer the simple combat animations from RTW than the sliding figurines that teleported meters away to start their fighting animation that appeared in ETW, NTW and now S2TW... it just doesn't look right now.

I just got ETW and NTW on the Steam sale... best deal I ever made. Thanks goodness I had gotten RTW on steam too (I got the retail as well :P)

The AI was never up to the standards of M1 though. The M1 AI could reallllllly give you a run for your money compared to later titles.

Funny that they totally messed it up, although understandable, since they changed the whole engine.

On the side note, I finnaly found how to check the threads that I posted! Fell like a genius now :P

Huh, weird.
I find MTW2 AI quite challenging.

On very hard settings it get's bat poop aggressive and packs a punch.
When I say that it packs a punch, it actually means that it attacks with 3 full armies every few turns.
Not to mention that keeping an existing alliance, or let alone making a new one is completely impossible.

Hahaha! When I played TWM2 I never had allies. Within a few hundred turns I owned three quarters of Europe.

Try playing Third Age TW at very hard settings.

Not that easy.
Just try finishing a short champaign within the time limit.

Medieval I was the first i played too, as i was never really much interested in Shogun - all the armies in it were too similar. I remember having to reload a lot of battles in Medieval Total War - and sometimes just having to reload from an earlier campaign save because i couldn't win that battle.

Wish Rome II had anything like the atmosphere of medieval I or Rome I but sadly it doesn't - especially because of the mediocre music, lack of much sound of troops marching and fighting and poor animations.

What? It really doesn't have marching sounds? I've been following the game quite closely (maybe even too much), but I never noticed that, or read anyone say that. Are you sure it's just not your case of a corrupt file or something?

Medieval was my first TW. Never played Shogun.
I remember my Danish Campaign well. :)
I also loved the atmosphere surrounding the campaign map along with the music. Good times :)
God, Family, Baseball, Friends, Rome Total War, and Exilian. What more could I possibly need?
