    Default Rome is still the best Total War game

    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all because everything works great, units unlike Medieval II are responsive and fast, the battles are great even with outdated GFX engine, it still looks great on large scale.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.

    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.

    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?

    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)

    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.

    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    -MTW, the graphics are too bad now and outdated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

    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.

    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.

    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.
