OT: Mediaval - Total War
 

Gosh, I liked Shogun - Total War and did that a couple of times.. but this Mediaval - Total War is brilliant.. easier to understand and much better (and easier) to control, and as for the sieges...

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant

What, other games besides SEIV? Nonsense.

Re: OT: Mediaval - Total War
 

No, I am sorry. I am brave enough to publicly state that yes, there are other games out there and yes, some of them are really jolly good..

IMHO, SEIVG is "the" 4X style space exploration and combat game without a doubt. Mediaval-Total War is superb on the old real time strategy lark, World Cup 98 is THE best game to play with your chums at 2.30 in the morning after the nightclub and Predator & Alien is a laugh as well (especially if you turn all the lights out, wop up the volume and play on your own, in the dark, oh, and lock the cats out because one of them jumping on you when playing this game is a surefire way to lose control of your bladder)

I took advantage of the recent PBW downtime to get back to Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire, which was my favorite game until SE IV displaced it.

Re: OT: Mediaval - Total War
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I agree with that statement. There are other games out there deserving to be played. I'm waiting for Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 and the expansion pack for Civilization 3. I loved Alpha Centauri and it's expansion pack. I might have to dig that one out and play it again. But I hardly have time to play SEIVG, let alone any other game plus get on the internet.

I like AC, but I was rather put down by absurd tech tree. They all sound like absolute nonsense to me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif Otherwise, AC is IMHO the best Civ-type game.

Oh, man, one of my all time faves is Silent Hunter. There is nothing like coordinating a 6 torp spread on 3 ships and trying to time it so that all hit within seconds of each other.

Or running up silent on a cruiser that looks suspiciously lacking of escort destroyers, hitting it with four torps, half of which are duds, and finding out that it is escorted by seven destroyers which just happened to be trailing the cruiser by 5000 yards. Oh ****. With realistic reload times switched on, the ensuing battle can take two hours.
