No thanks, I have no faith in those games anymore. So many bugs never get worked out, even after heavy modification + the game isn't challenging no matter what and I usually play as a **** ant nation.
I agree, Empire was a shambles, but before that the TW series was great. Yes these games are usually buggy at release, which is understandable considering their scale. Just wait until there has been a patch or two before buying.No thanks, I have no faith in those games anymore.

You never player Europa Barbarorum or Deus lo Vult did you?![]()
Rome was my favourite I have all the others as well but they just don't compare to my enjoyment of rome total war and I always drifted back to that game. I think mainly because of my dislike of the guns and my greater interest in that era.
Nothing rocked like some bad *** elephants, war cries, and war hounds
Or flaming pigs
True meaning of fast food![]()
war hounds
Both of which where not actually used...flaming pigs
Both of which where not actually used...
And in Medieval 2 - cannons mounted on elephants. WTF?!? oO)
The list goes on and on.
I wish the vanilla campaigns in TW games where more historically accurate. But then there would be less work for modders to do I guess.
Yep I know historically they were not used but I think it's to do with the overpoweredness of the elephant units.
Arcani and gladiators were pretty bad *** although Spartans were overkill
I think it takes away from the series. They are supposed to be historical games. So what is with all the stupid inaccuracies? Three Roman factions? WTF?TW series was never COMPLETELY historically accurate, which I enjoy. Flaming pigs, Arcani (and battlefield assassins in general, actually) elephant cannons of doom, judean zealots (if anyone knows what I'm talking about with the latter well done you!) are all just funny twists.
Also, testudo formation in RTW failed massively. Five minutes of standing and your troops are already tired. Not to mention the damage a well placed great big dirty rock can do to it...
