Empire Total War

VasikkA · Post by **VasikkA** » Sat Feb 21, 2009 7:36 pm

I just noticed the new Total War game is set to be released on March 3rd/4th.

It's one of my favorite series so I'll probably download it. The setting should be more interesting than in the last two games(they rereleased Medieval, wtf

) and naval warfare looks great. I haven't played anything for a couple of months now so I'm starting to get excited.

Discuss.

The medieval one kicked ass always played as the Holy Roman Empire. No one stood a chance, thats how good I was at that game. Is the new one taking place during the 1700s or somthing, looks epic.

It is one of your favorite series so you're going to pirate it? You sir, are a dumbshit.

My faction is going to be the Prussians, for sure.

Busy playing Dawn of War 2. I'll probably get it a month or two after it comes out.

I still have Rome: Total War that I barely got past the tutorial. I kind of written it off my games to play list too. Vassika, have I chosen poorly?

I'm only being rational. Jeez.

No, Rome is definitely the weakest game of the series. Can't say much about Medieval II, as it felt as a rehash, but you'll probably like it better than Rome. Shogun or Medieval should provide you entertainment for some time. Also, the turn-based chess-like strategy mode was more unpredictable and thus more interesting than the HOMM-like 3d view in Rome and Medieval II.

Medieval II is probably the best of the serie, because the more polished, the best graphics, etc, but I think Shogun is still my favorite.

I started out with Rome, so my love goes to Rome & Rome: Barbarian Invasion. Medieval II was superior to them, though. Can't wait for the next one.

im inclined to think rome was the best in the series

YA, cant wait for empire total war as well. I think Rome was the best because that was the first one i played. But, as it was said multiple times, Medieval 2 was a more polished and actually a little funner for some reason. It just has a touch to it that makes it addictive.

I recall enjoying Medieval - Total War 2 until my path of known world conquest resulted in the plotting and maintenance of dozens of spies, assassins, merchants . . . and so on.

That, and the charmingly schizophrenic, amnesiac 'diplomacy' model.

Will to play : Gone, gone, gone. A pity, as the mod community remains quite active. Missed gems among the requisite dross.

Kingdoms elicited marginally less ennui.

Predecessor preferred.

The mods for medieval are amazingly complex...friend of mine was quite into them. Never quite had the time for them myself.

Shit, i forgot about mods for Total war series....

I only worry about mods that will make the game better to play because it needs it, (like fallout 3).

Ill have to look into mods for total war. TY for reminding me.

Medieval one was so fun i fucking destroyed everyone, Rome was great but not as great as Medieval Total War.
