[K126]Mephisto, good to see your dulcet scribing again, I was beginning to wonder where my favourite sauerkraut clad bratwurst munching Teutonic chum, had got to..

I had a beautiful moment Last night, one of those moments that warm the cockles of your heart.. I am playing the Byzantines and a lone light cavalry regiment was caught in the open by an invading Turkish army.. the sight of massed ranks of Camel Cavalry, Horse Archers and Kwararizm cavalry charging out of the dunes was just so beautiful, I (almost) forgot to order my cavalry to run like hell..

still, the kataphraktoi gave them Turks a right juicy scrumping and no mistake

Re: OT: Mediaval - Total War
 

Shogun is one of my top 3 wargames, only SE4 is ahead of it, Medival is just as good but one of the things I don't like about it, is that you have a time limit in turns. Once you hit the Last yr, game over, In shogun you play until you win or lose, would like to see similiar thing in Medival

my 2 cents

just some ideas mac

well, you can have TOO MUCH of a good thing you know!!

Re: OT: Mediaval - Total War
 

Mahlzeit! I'm still around, Tigga, just not posting that much anymore. To many other things... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

What I like so much about the battles in Medieval is this feeling of epic. You can see every man on the field doing his thing. Not 1 men representing 5 in reality or such. What I would really like to see is a American Civil War game with this engine. Must be impressive to see whole regiments firing at each other.

Hi Mephisto, In regardst to civil war engine based on Medivial, this was discussed extensivly a long time back on the Shogun Forum after it came out. Shogun ande Medival are both excellent tactical combat engines. I agree, a Civil War game base on this type of combat system would be most excellent (especially since I'm a Civil War buff) I vote YES .....

Good to see ya still around, drop in at the cantina for a drink, Currently the "Taz" is buying all night http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: OT: Mediaval - Total War
 

Personally, I would like to see a Napoleonic Version using the total war engine - REAL epic battles bashing the Prussians...

Mephisto, try playing Poland, epic battles over wide open plains with stacks of cavalry, oh lord, I need a lie down!!

Re: OT: Mediaval - Total War
 

I give Europe a bashing with the Turks at the moment. Since the "glorious achievements" system is broken at the moment I will wait for the next patch with starting a new game.

Re: OT: Mediaval - Total War
 

wadd'ya mean the glorious achievements button is broken?? mine seems to be working fine but then I am not really concentrating on much other than giving the Turks a damn good kicking whilst playing the Egyptians...

Lordy, I really dont like horse archers (when you havn't got any fast cavalry to chase the buggers down)
