    Default rtw-metw1 game chest

    i just baught it for $43 and wanted to know if any of the games other then rtw have an online population? Also did shogun come before or after metw? ALso does rtw/bi from the chest have any type of history pertaining to system problems like freezes or crashes? the rtw gold i baught months ago on occassion has problems especialy when it comes to winning the campagn with germany.

    what you bought was the Eras Pack, which is a really good buy, especially if you play lots of mods.

    Yeah the Eras set is pretty mean. So far, I haven't heard of anyone who found glitches with it.

    There are still people playing M:TW VI on the internet, although mostly on modified versions. The official S:TW MP servers have been shut down, however a small group of people was still playing it using fakeserver. You can find them on the .Org S:TW MP forum.

    Rome is pretty active, most people play RTW 1.5 with a small community of players with Napoleon 2 Total War. BI is almost never played so you should call out for players on the forum.

    M2 is very popular right now, there are a number of guides concerning online play for M2. I don't know if Kingdoms is popular but it might be.

    You can pick and choose which game you want to install. For example, if you only wanted to install "Shogun," then you would only install the "Shogun" disc.

    Well, you can just temporarily move your saves out of your RTW folder that you are currently use and put them somewhere else, then unstall your current RTW. Then install the RTW in the Eras set, and then put the saves back in. Easy enough.

    In the Eras set you will receive a disc with Shogun and Mongol Invasion, a disc with Medieval and Viking Invasion, and a disc with Rome and Barbarian Invasion, and a seperate disc with Alexander Total War.
    You can choose to install any or all of these though the expansions are customary I believe.
