    Default Your fav TW title

    We all have our own personal fav, our own TW that we found that little bit of magic in.

    For me, its MTW, i remeber my first campaign as the Almohads, 18 hours straight

    Have never quite found that magic again, but have always enjoyed total war titles.

    whats yours

    post your experiences and why your chosen TW title is special to you.


    EDIT:

    this thread is just for the purpose described above, stay nice.

    I'm going to have to go for Rome I think. I too have many fond memories of Medieval 1, but feel that the new campaign map in Rome was such a step forwards. I have definitely spent the most time playing Rome than any of the others. I also am really enjoying Empire, but still feel that when I finally put the CD away, I will have go more replayability out of Rome. M2 was in my opinion the worst of the titles that I have played.

    The first TW game i played was Rome. I can still remember the first battle i fought. It was the Rome TW demo. Me Hannibal against the romans at the battle of trebia.
    Oh and i remember the great tune/music during the battle. It was far better then the ETW crap. This is my childhood game.

    haha and i always used the same strategy. I hide my carthagian cavalry behind that mountain and later when my archers killed half of their infantry I crushed their skirmishers and the rest of their troops. And of course the elephants went insane XD Damn it CA what happened to youuu?

    My first was Rome (first PC as well but thats another story)

    Its just when i started playing i got really immersed in the period. And i don't give a about the historical accuracy it just felt...well right.

    All the music and sounds really amazing

    Oh and when the Romans world randomly yell 'Imperitor'!!

    RTW no question.

    Ahhhhh..what fond memories of the days when TW games at least pretended to be modder friendly.

    Remember when I first installed Europa Barbarorum & was completely blown away by the most beautiful modification I had ever seen for any game.

    **Sigh** The good'ol days...

    i played medieval one and it was alot of fun, but when i got rome i thought i had found the best game ever...


    i love almost everything about it, the time period, the factions, the roman units (the barbarian units are so unrealistic though lol), the music.

    i still play it occasionaly too. MTWII is a second, not sure hwow close but its the only title playable (non modded) AND has intense graphics. i have to say the western clone armies are pretty lame, even if that was realistic.

    My personal fave is M2TW. I spent a lot of time playing the original MTW (including my biggest every battle, 30000 each, it lasted forever), and then RTW. But M2TW has so much more replayability for me. I recently tried to play RTW again, but found it inferior (though that may be due to my love of Heavy Cavalry charges...). As for ETW, it doesn't hold a candle to RTW or M2TW, and only beats the other two on graphics

    My fav was M2TW. I'm a sucker for anything in that time period.
    The extra development time will allow us to finalize and polish Empire, making it the most accomplished and epic of the Total War series." said Kieran Brigden, Studio Communications Manager at The Creative Assembly. "There is a great deal of anticipation around Empire: Total War and we want to ensure that it is the benchmark for strategy games upon its release.

    I voted Shogun.
    It's not that I think it was technically the best, but I remember the moment I saw it being played in a preview on television...
    I was instantly hooked and deeply loved every single game of the series.
    Oh, and I am for Shogun II as the next title.

    The "best" game would be a tie between M2TW and ETW;
    I can't really compare them though because I think I prefered the GC in M2TW, but started to play MP in ETW which is a completely different experience altogether.

    I've honestly gotten the most gameplay out of Med II. The atmosphere in that game in incredible, the whole era just mesmerizes me. It's gameplay is smooth, looks nice, and is all around fun.

    In 2nd place is Rome, which loses points only for the fact the Roman era is not my most favorite and the graphics are wanting compared to Med II (I played Med II first in the whole series, so I'm a bit bias. I'm sure Rome had good graphics for when it was released).

    Rome, hands down. Never played the previous ones. Rome lets me conquer the Mediterranean and not feel guilty about it unlike Medieval II. Rome actually did succeed in building their Mediterranean Empire and when I do it in the game I feel like I'm living history. When I conquer Scotland as England, or conquer Germany, France, Italy... I feel guilty and reluctant to do so because they didn't really do that. They were close to doing so in France but then it all blew up. Empire would be a close second but I can't play it because it doesn't work (go figure) so there you have it.

    Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
