<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Thank, Mac, I may do that. However, I am really not a fan of RTS at all, and I'm getting the impression that this is what I would find with M:TW. I'll probably stick with EU, then.

Re: OT: Mediaval - Total War
 

Sachmo, I think if you download the demo you'll like it, its not all rts, battles yes, but you can stop/pause, its worth a look....

I'm not a real fan of RTS, however, Shogun and Medevil are different and enjoyable compared to most

I have both EU and EUII, like them both, but Medevil takes that style game up a notch, someday if your ever on trillian in the se4 chat maybe we can hash over EU & EUII, http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I wrote the webmaster of the MTW website about the forum access problem. He replied that the forums were down and that they would be back up "soon". He also told me to direct all questions to the forum, not the webmaster....

Also, I own EUI, EUII and MTW. MTW wins, hands down, though its AI may not play the strategic game as well as EUII does. I do NOT generally like RTS. However, in MTW the battles are the only things that are RTS. The speed is totally controllable, even pausable. And orders can be given during pauses as well as while the battle is moving.

Don't get me wrong, EUII is a great game. I still play it, too, but for a different "twist."

The MTW forums are back up!

Re: OT: Mediaval - Total War
 

Finally!

I hope they make a hellenic age total war... That would rock. I could play as Athens and put that upstart Roman Empire back in it's place. Hmmph.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Talking about Greeks, would prefer to see the "Peloponnesian war" scenario.
I really love the book of Tucidides (although he was unable to finish the history of the war, and the reader would be forced to read the Xenophon's "Hellenica" to see the end).

About Medieval, this game rocks!!!
I think is near to be the Mid Age, perfect game. In my humble view, lack something in the diplomacy field, but at the end, is an amazing game.

Re: OT: Mediaval - Total War
 

Well, obviously I'd have to pimp-smack those punk Spartans in order to still be around to fight the Romans, so the peloponnesian war would logically be part of a Hellenic age game http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
