oh, so you mean we should concentrate on the "conquer the globe in a crimson tide of rape and mass slauighter" option then

MTW is about all I've been playing recently. It's great, and highly MODDABLE!

HOWEVER, Pvk just posted Proportions 2.5, lol!
Now I have to play that too!

Hmm, ... perhaps two computers, side by side ...
ROF! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: OT: Mediaval - Total War
 

OT: what if you were like playing a fat TCP/IP game and had like 3 friends over and they each had a screen linked into a main server runnign the SE4 game and the turns yet each could make changes to the empire as ithappened. like a command cneter?

i love fleet command, a little slow at times though, which also goes for pharoah which is a fun game that could use a little balancing.

I liked ground control until it deleted all my saved games.

But Civ-Net/Civ2 are my ultimate Favorites behind SE4 (i played them from like 3rd or 4th grade on till middleschoool)

Be carefull of the unistall program for this game. I it wiped my game directory.

Re: OT: Mediaval - Total War
 

Has anyone been able to access the MTW official forums in the Last 6 days? They moved and everything was OK for a bit and now...pooof! I keep getting "This page cannot be displayed". Between MTW and SEIVG I dont get much else done :-/

Re: OT: Mediaval - Total War
 

They have a technical problem. Should be resolved tomorrow or so...

Re: OT: Mediaval - Total War
 

Who cares, I am not going to uninstall this game..

Now playing the Byzantine Empire in the early period on a hard setting, rolling up the Turks in Rhum and Edessa is just too joyful to behold, especially when I realise that my army is led by a prince who has "coward" and "adulter" amongst his attributes......

Oh the joys of sweeping the Turks into oblivion with a mercenary army, what fun

The pope is next

Re: OT: Mediaval - Total War
 

How does this game compare with Europa Universalis? They sound rather similar? Also, would anyone mind posting the minimum hardware specs including required HD space? I would look it up myself, but I'm a bit busy at work... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: OT: Mediaval - Total War
 

The one thing I do dislike about this game, is the Time Restriction, I think they should have made that an option. Shogun was more fun as you fight until you or they die, This one has only 300 turns.

Yes similiar to EU, and yet different, Medevil is more fun to play except for the time restrictions

just some ideas mac

Re: OT: Mediaval - Total War
 

Mac, whilst I agree with you in principal, personally I am only on 1105 and am still beating up the Turks (having allied myself with all my other neighbours and having married every spare princess going).... it may be that the 300 turn limit just encourages aggressive play..

one thing I am slightly concerned about, the rulebook says you should not marry your princesses to your princes, now obviously I can see the genetic drawbacks of this (not to mention the moral issues) but curiousity leads me to wonder what happens IF YOU DO try and marry one of your princesses to one of your princes? has any sick weirdo tried to do this yet?

PS Shogun was fun but the multitude of units in MTW is just brilliant... gives a real feel to the game (especially if it is your Kataphractoi regiment that is trampling the turkisk infantry under foot)
