    Default Still playing previous games?

    Just curios to see if anyone is still playing Rome, Med2, Med1, or Shogun. Btw only answer this poll if you have ETW. And another question, if I were to install Rome, or Med2 back (I love empire, but might just want to play one of the them for a bit) will it lower the efficiency of my Empire total war?

    You can vote now btw, and also because it would take up more memory, so i thought it would slow down my cpu, right?

    It would use up disk space, not 'memory' which means RAM, unless you tried to have the two games running at the same time. So it would be fine to have both installed.

    Alright well I am debating on installing Med2 or Rome, but considering I havent played Rome in months, and was just playing med2 a month ago, probably will install Rome. I need a brake from Empire, already played it for 25.6 hrs in the past 2 weeks.

    Memory? Not at all, unless you run both games at a time . Perhaps you mean hard drive space? If it's that don't worry, it won't make Empire (or any other game/program) run slower.



    edit: Oh, by the way, i still play RTW a lot, and sometimes Shogun, my favourite TW game
    Spanish Hegemony!

    knock knock...

    25.6 hours in 2 weeks isn't actually all that much.

    I have just been playing Empire. Since I don't have any mods, trying to play Vanilla M2 or Vanilla Rome is such an annoyance. I can't play them for half an hour without getting bored or horribly fed up by the even more retarded AI.

    Empire all the way for now, but I'm very much looking forward to Third Age. ^^

    For med2 I am looking foward for Dominion of the Sword. RTW is done installing, but I forgot I probably will need a mod, just so I don't lose my mind, because no offense to CA, when they make a title its fun playing vanilla, then when you get a mod its even more fun, and then if you go back to vanilla you will just lose your mind, i think the main reason for me is because of the movement points, in most mods movement points are usually increased, but in vanilla it takes so long so I lose my mind that way. CA should learn and make movement points start out being a lot, and then leave extra room for modders.

    Btw I thought 26 hrs was a lot, how much have you played.

    I've only played Empire after i got it. I got kind of bored of RTW and MTW II. I've played 61.5 h in 2 weeks and don't consider that awful lot of time.

    Darthmod 8.1 if you want a good challenge and some interesting campaigns.

    I have played Empire all the way. Tried to load up the old games but missed my muskets!

    Like the name implies, it is a much more realistic representation of the period, both in the campaign and most certainly on the battlefield...if you haven't tried it and you like RTW...you should.
