I hit the search button with a couple of diffrent keywords,nothing showed up
Rome:Total War
Here it is,Rome:total war has it's own little thread :)
Personally,i think it's one of the best in the world,simply because it drains so many of your lifes hours,trying to perfect you tactics,learning how to build the most effiecent cities and build the strongest army.The game just throws so much at you,it's hard to keep up with it
(it's even harder with mods like http://www.rometotalrealism.org (http://www.rometotalrealism.org))
I have wasted hours and hours into this game(not less than 100h of playtime(in 3 weeks)),and only beat it with one faction (whitch was actually op).
Still,i count as a newbie to this game. :/
I would really like to see your expierience with this game,because it is purely amazing for me!
Discuss!

Europa Barbarorum.

Europa Barbarorum.
Looks cool,but i prefer the vanilla :P
-
RTR mod for me. :wink:

Seriously, Vanilla? That's such garbage in my opinion. The whole "three families" thing is stupid for an example, Roman units look totally inaccurate, let alone Egyptians, I could go on, and on..
-
It is the best of the series, still. Old as hell, though.
-
Europa Barbarorum.
This. Most accomplished historical mod for any game, only thing that supersedes the AD1257 module for WB in terms of level of research that has gone into it. Great balance and atmosphere, too.
Other than that I think Medieval I was the the height of the Total War series (where the new Shogun dlc 'yanks vs samurais' must be the absolute low point in regards to theme and fantasy elements), but Rome was quite good, if more arcadey than the previous games.
-
Out of the box Medieval 1 was the best of the TW series, agreed. With mods Rome beats it though. But even with mods the AI constantly fails in the campaign and battle maps. There are mods that improve the battlefield AI but nothing seems to be able to fix the retardedness on the campaign map. Diplomacy might as well not exist too.
-
Diplomacy in RTW is a joke.
I agree with that.
In M2TW it plays a bigger role, though.
It's actually useful.
-
TRIARII!
-
I'll try out Europa Barbarorum,give it a go :)
-
So are there any mods like these for medieval 2 total war?
-
Roma Surrectum II
Prefer it much more over Europa Barbarorum these days.
-
Didn't try out any mods for the TW games and like Medieval 2 most. The unit design is just better than in Rome. But Rome was kind of a quantum leap compared to Medieval and Shogun and thus was also a lot of fun (and drained time) for me!
-
medieval 1 was the best TW game /discussion.
With each part the series went downhill.It goes like this(After shogun)
medieval I>rome>medieval II>Empire>Napoleon>Shogun II
Medieval I was just perfect.I so wished to play it with everything the same except for the combat map graphics.

Lol nvm my earlier question, i found a mod for me: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=479322 8-)

Oh btw guys,if you play RTW on steam,do you have a problem with Multiplayer,because it show's ''Failed to connect (GS)''.
It's really bugging me,because i really really wanna try multiplayer :(
-
I'm chuffed this game has its own thread.
Deserves it
-
RTW is the better of the TW series, followed by ETW imo, Medieval 2 just annoyed me by the fact they attempted death animations but they either died with their arms outstretched on their front or back, no curling around the arrow like in RTW haha, NTW never enjoyed it, it just seemed like a bad mod for ETW, and Shogun II well its not great, the only think lacking is the adaptability of units, samurai beats ashigaru you have an army of the former early on your unbeatable (also ranged spam always wins)
-

Shogun II's multiplayer is unmatched despite it's horrendous imbalance issues. The upcoming expansion is going to be a disaster though.. gatling guns and iron clad ships? /facepalm
-
Shogun 2 was a disaster, every faction had the same units and like 5 types. No unit variety. That was what I enjoyed about Total War, finally getting those Zweihanders and see them rampage through the enemy infantry. Using your faction's strength and weakness to build an asskicking empire.
Shogun 2 didnt do any of that, and it was hugely well received. It was basically a dumbed down version of the cool ones like Rome and Medieval 2. They will probably continue down this road. SERIES = DEAD!
So I'm stuck with playing Medieval 2 mods for the rest of my life.
-

Not Sure how they could continue the series. Rome 2 maybe, or something new? Empire 2 (set in the 19th century)?

Interesting, unusual views. I personally thought Napoleon was everything that ETW should have been. ETW was buggy as hell and they changed aspects of it every few days with patches. Napoleon was the finished product, polished and interesting from every aspect. MW1 was probably my favourite of all the games, I was to young to really understand the original Shogun. After MTW comes Rome, then NTW, then Shogun 2 and then M2 and ETW.

Eh? Did you ever play the original shogun? All the units were relatively the same then. It's because Japan didn't have an entirely large variety of units in that period, it's got nothing to do with whether the future TW games will have variety or not. But everyone wanted them to remake Shogun...so that's why it was so well received.
-
I was quite the opponent in multiplayer 1.5-2 years ish ago. Wonderful game.
-

Still plenty to do.
Although, judging from the last games, it will probably be Rome 2 or something even more early(You know, there was that Rome addon called Alexander, I think they could stretch that timeline a bit and make a wonderful new game out of it).
Otherwise, they might even try out a fantasy setting or something more modern or even futuristic.

Shogun 2 was hands down the worst of the series so far.It´s even slightly worse than empire was.

Empire was the worst due to overcomplicating everything imo.
Shogun 2 was half-decent (closer to bad) because instead of paying a tribute to the original total war game they went for a more simplified version of medieval Japan and a completely unbalanced multiplayer (should've been called Monk :Total War). Blaming it for similar faction rosters is just plain stupid though, i don't recall Scipio, Brutus and Julius families in Rome having much unit variety between them. It's one nation after all. No denying though, they could've done their research better and SHOULD've improved the AI greatly to compensate for the lack of variety.
But single-player wise Shogun 2 can be enjoyable after all, with mods (try DarthMod, improves the game (AI too) vastly) and multiplayer battles can still be fun and tactical from time to time.

Im playing third age total war. One word: EPIC! unbalanced but hey, middle earth wasnt balanced XD
For instance if you play dwarves its just like they describe them in the books: Sitting in their mountains not giving a shit, having an occasional brawl with the orcs - thats what you will be doing.
Gondor is too hard imo, you dont get enough money to support a good defense. Have been playing dale now: Dale OP, their generals bodyguards are armored op long range archers/sword and board. I literaly have like 10 generals in one army, and generals bodyguard army retrains the soldiers on their own. 8-)

Ye ive been playing TLD (the last days) and Gondor isnt too hard, ive managed to push Mordor out of E.Osgiliath and even taken Minas Morgul and am attacking Bara Dur, good Ol retarde Boromir and Faramir, however they are fucking expensive to upkeep and recruit (archers take 2 turns), my cities have like no defence in them so im kinda screwed if i get attacked

I didint play the first Medieval or the first Shogun, but Rome was the first i properly played when it was released and so i kinda guess my love for the game has stayed with me for years, as for napoleon i dont know why i just didnlt like it overly, empire got boring after long periods of play but it was always a laugh to go back and play.
It also introduced the good and updated multiplayer, a wee bit buggy but it led to NTW and STW2 being able to adapt that and be the success they have been
-
With Empire, I had at least a BIT of fun, not much, but I had some.
I totally missed that with Shogun 2.

Dominion of the Sword will soon be released for Medieval 2 TW Kingdoms and it will be the best mod ever made for a TW game, EVER.

I stopped following their thread 2 years ago, so I can't say.
In any case, I'm happy with my:
Best mods for Total War, compiled for your amusement.

Rome: Total War:
Roma Surrectum (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=386559) - Epic mod, nuff said.
Europa Barbarorum (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=207235) - Also an excellent mod. Both of these are enhanced native in essence.

Shogun 2: Total War:
Darthmod (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=494285) - Copy pasta. Enhanced native mod. Adds a ton of new troops 'n stuff.
Have fun.
Oh, 1648 - 30 years war (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=315422) is supposedly good, but it hasn't been translated yet. So waiting for that. They got deployable cannons on walls.
Just hoping that some of the mods I'm waiting for would be released at some point. Like:
Shizoku no Sensō (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=1650)
Westeros: Total War (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=721)
Dominion of the Sword (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=492)
Europa Barbarorum II (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=454)
And this is just badass (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=361905)
And I've probably played Total War waaaaaaaaay too much in my time.
-

That's because they made an estimate, but due to real life issues and things they wanted to do with the mod, it was of course a worthless guess. I've waited for this mod for over 3 years, soon to me is within the next few months, atleast if something doesn't happen to the members of the mod team lol.

Where do they go after shogun lol?
Rome total war 2? Sea battles will be interesting.....

Rome II and Medieval III.
Om nom nom nom.
Too bad that the Rome game can't be as awesome as the old one imo.
I mean the old game has an amazing atmosphere, same for Medieval.
I doubt they can totally recreate something that's equally awesome.

I mean this. I can't tell how many times I just stayed at the faction select screen only to watch the map, read about the factions and listen to the music.. it's beautiful.
