    Re: Next TW game (kind of) leaked: Rome I Remastered.

    I am confused as a consumer, which product should I buy: RTW remaster or TWRII? Which product will receive long-term support? (I only own the original RTW)


    My pessimistic side thinks this is a...

    Re: So how do you play this (and enjoy)?

    Sounds like a nice campaign, don't give up. However, the achievement actually unlocks in very hard only. Confirmed by other users, read the posts in this thread:...

    Re: Blurry text >:o

    Font rendering in the TW series is generally bad, I guess because CA uses bitmap fonts instead of vector fonts. So every TW game has an optimum resolution for the fonts.

    For RTW and M2TW it was...

    Re: Icon and font clarity

    The font rendering in M2TW and RTW is very bad at up-scaling. They are really only crisp at 1024x768 (with gpu/monitor scaling disabled, of course).

    I guess most people are not affected, but...

    Re: upsetting

    Keep the movement points as it is, and be proud of the AI being capable of surprising you on this instance. When the AI surprises me, it is the greatest thrill I get playing a TW game.

    Re: Buying original RTW/M2TW engine from CA

    It is like asking to buy an older iteration of the Coca-Cola receipt (if it ever iterated).

    How much would it cost to buy an older iteration of the TW engine? The price magnitude would be...
  7. Re: Is CA keeping their games low challenging for players intentionally?

    But does one release make a trend? You seem to think so. What about the vanillas RTW, M2TW, ETW, NTW, TWR2 (Cant say about S2TW, did not play that one)? They were all weak on the challenge side (as...
  8. Re: Is CA keeping their games low challenging for players intentionally?

    Yes, it is possible.

    The average gamer today has shorter attention span. He will be halfway through a game when a new game becomes trendy and everybody else is playing it, so he leaves for the new...

    They use some sort of flocking algorithm for each unit. That means that some calculations are done at soldier lever, others at unit level. The calculations at soldier level are probably heavily...

    Re: Medieval Total War: Still worth a go?

    Back to the topic:

    Generally the big argument for MTW 1 is the AI, so these are my thoughts on it:

    The campaign AI of MTW1 is the best in the series, for the simple fact that the AI defends...

    Re: Fix for RSII following steam update.

    Does Windows Explorer at least list the CD contents? If so, try to find the .exe and copy it directly to your Steam installation. I did something similar, playing a non-Steam .exe over a Steam...
  12. Re: how many of you would love to see this game remastered?

    The only thing I would like "remastered" is the AI, or maybe a fully "scriptable" AI.

    Every other personal wish is already covered by mods.

  15. Re: Did CA make Medieval II moddable on purpose,or the game engine makes it too easy to be modded?

    It may have something to do with M2TW being made by another studio, which was the now defunct CA Australia.

    CA UK may have delivered the basic engine with more customization options, so that CA...

    Here in Brazil there are a couple of high profile online retailers still selling digital downloads of MTW. Well, at least claim to have available.
