Rome is still the best Total War game

[Total_War_Addict]

After playing E:TW with no real city defense except some pityful houses and forts you never use for battles and no console, i was very dissapointed with E:TW, even with great naval battles, the game is still the worst TW game for me.

Rome: total war must be the best of them all because everything works great, units unlike Medieval II are responsive and fast, the battles are great even with outdated GFX engine, it still looks great on large scale.

here is all my Total War games wich has a special place on my shelves, ETW is lucky to be amongst such great games.

I almost never play any siege battles. Not in Rome, Medievall II or Empire.

Rome 2 should be next on the list of CA.

An impressive collection of TW titles!!

Rome IS the best TW game ever. Leaving the clones aside, it is extremely playable and comfortable. I hardly find myself shouting "NO!, you idiots! I said Charge! CHAAARGE!" at my units.

[Ciisar]

Mine day is different,i say almost every battle that: "NO!, you idiots! I said Charge! CHAAARGE!" at my units.
Next is napoleon total war.

For some reason, the battles in Rome are so much more enjoyable and immensely less frustrating than in M2TW... I can't quite put my finger on it. Any technical reason why this would make sense?

[Selukon]

RTW is the best Total War game for me. the ETW AI is idiotic, the M2TW units just sit around and die (plus the artillery cant fire)

[Ciisar]

Yes, Rome: total war is the best!!! Yes,in Medieval total war there, they are horrible (units) they are slow. But i like graphics.
I do not like the time which the action takes place in Empire total war. But i like game play machine.

[Fireright]

Lest we forget its the only game with the mighty Seleucids. Feast yer eyes on this lot:



Infantry
Peasants
Militia Hoplites
Levy Pikemen
Phalanx Pikemen
Silver Shield Pikemen
Silver Shield Legionaries
Missiles
Peltasts
Archers
Onagers
Cavalry
Militia Cavalry
Greek Cavalry
Cataphracts
Companion Cavalry
Scythed Chariots
Elephants
War Elephants
Armoured War Elephants

What more can the discerning rtw player want??

RTW is obviously the best toal war because...

-MTW, the graphics are too bad now and outdated
-M2TW and ETW-My comp is too slow

Therefore rtw is the best

not to be mean, but are you saying that because your very own computer can't run games beyond RTW, then it automatically means that M2TW and ETW are garbage for the entire population? Perhaps for you, but it's enjoyable for others.

Anyways, I do like RTW the most though =p

[Sipahi of Rûm]

Yes, Rome Total War is the best Total War game

[Gorbaczow]

Yes Rome is still the best.

[SirDestroyer]

In your opinion.

[|Sith| Max]

what pisses me off is that they had the ability to give RTW blood, but did not so they could get a 12 + rating instead of a 16+ rating like its successors. because RTW was such a success and cuz most of its players were adults, they decided to put blood in the sequel anyway, since they no longer had to care about alienating younger players.

We will get a blood mod eventually.
BLOOD MOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

[Fireright]

RTW urinates on ETW for many reasons...not least of which is the console enhancement gameplay and the absence of Steam guff and associated internet trickery.

[SirDestroyer]

I like M2TW more because of the mods.

RTW was so good the BBC took it up and had it editied for the tv series time commanders

But unfortunately everybody else than the RTW fans didn't appreciate this too much so the RTW
time commanders was canceled after a year or so.

I think if TC would have continued with TW, we would have hell of a lot more realistic TW games following due to the input of the specialists.
