Total War Series

Total War is my favorite series of games, hands down. Nothing else captures strategy warfare quite as awesomely. I own them all, and all the ex packs except Alexander (which I'm looking into getting). Yeah, a Shogun 2 would be nice, MTW2 pretty well replaced MTW1, but there's still no replacement for Shogun. And heaven knows one's needed, STW and MTW1 can't be run on an 8000+ NVidia card. I'm still hoping for a Civil War installment too...

Rome TW owns them all anyway >=D

but yeah shogun 2 would be cool but they shouldn't include the calulation of each single bullet like in Empire TW (btw the add on is bullshit)

Yeah, Rome is probably the best, I'd give it 10/10. But then, I'd give all the Total War games from 7/10-10/10, they are ALL really, really good IMO.

 

Edit: wow, I just saw that Steam is selling RTW gold WITH Alexander for $10! I've been looking for a cheap way to buy that for some time now...

As atlas said, all epic.

 

I found RTW the best though, i have MTW2 as well but i didnt find it as fun honestly. If you guys have RTW patched up to the latest patch 1.5 it is, if you dont have barbarian invasion expansion), then we should play online in a huge battle :p

 

Btw Zap, if you would have been a few weeks earlier, you could have got Empire TW for like $4? it was like £8 on sale on steam :good:

Yeah, I remember that sale... I already had practically all the TW games then. I thought about getting RTW+Alexander then (About $5, if I recall), but I stupidly thought I could find the expansion alone for less, then later figured out a DVD of it costs like $30. Ahh, well, what's $5 these days anyhow? As for an online RTW match, I'm game... AVE CAESAR!!!

Love em all there is no comparison. I have only played MTWII extensively out of the series but have played all of the others. I wish I could play empire though.

 

Me and my classmates often play via hamachi. once we had a battle 2vs me. i just used 5 spartan hoplite units and formed a pentagram. they didn't have a chance

 

 

but still: german berserkers own y'all

Ahh, yes, I've used that tactic a few times. I once beat a Parthian army (mostly hvy cav, poor sods) about three times the size of mine with it. The best way to beat it is to get lots of archers and ballistas and blast the crap out of it, followed by a heavy inf charge to the weakest corner.

 

Yes, berserkers are just plain awesome. That's one of my biggest problems with MTWII, it has no berserkers for the Danes :ebiggrin: (yes, that would be historically incorrect, but hey, it WOULD be awesome), The Viking berserkers from MTW:VI were ever better than the German ones... A unit of veteran Viking berserkers could seriously tear up a hole army...
