How come hardly anyone plays online?

Its so hard to get a game since hardly anyone plays RTW online and therefore it means that most of the time its only clans playing that want a password to get into their games...

Also a lot of the games, infact most of the few I get are red and say something like game incompatible, why's this?

Propably their using an older version/newer version of the game depending on what version you have. Hey i'll be glad to play online!

Lots of people use mods, and so if a person using a mod goes online, other people will ge tthe game incompatible message if they do not have the same mod.

I have vanilla Rome Total War (no mods) updated to version 1.5...

Then that means the Red games are people playing Barbarian Invasion or a mod version of the games.

welcome to TWC forums. and yes put your mouse over a red game and it will tell you what game it is. (BI or RTW)

Ok thanks all. Might consider getting Barbarian Invasion then, not just for online but I have been meaning to get as it looks quite good. Though I wish there was another expansion to enhance eastern factions like they have with the barbarian factions.

BI isnt as great as you think it will be, it is good, i went back to RTW becasue of the gameplay, the only things that were any good was a few change and night battles i find lag alot.

I find that alot of people dont go online but if you host your own games your more likly to get a game

I hate playing games online via Gamespy, AKA GAYSPY as there are always a bunch of morons spamming the text up and the connexion is absolutly f*ing crap, there, thats my input for the day...
