all my middle ages history knowledge comes from copious amount of time playing age of empires 1 and 2

in aoe1 , you play Hitties. their catapults and horse back archers were fearsome

in aoe2 you play Bretons, 200 english longbowmen could stop anything

What about 3?


I kinda liked AoE 3. Just not the completely useless tribes expansion.

aoe3 is terrible. it adopted that territory control shit that rise of nations invented.

see quote source for more aoe.

TBH I always preferred the total war series to the AoX series, the way they do the tactical battles is just awesome...

Rome would be my favourite but I'm really looking forward to Empire... Haven't played Medieval II much because it was released at a bad time for me and I never came around to playing it...

This thread got me to start playing Rome: Total War again.  There's nothing like a good old bridge battle, where a single unit of Principes can get over 900 kills.  Apparently there's a bug in the game where routing enemy troops on a bridge will try to flee through my lines, getting slaughtered in the process.

THat almost looks like the tutorial mission in the beginning

[Eschatos]

I found a mod that allows PBEM multiplayer campaign.  Anyone up for a game?

[Dave]

lol

[Vandamguy]

also , i forgot to add that the tech they are using to share this game is pretty interesting , and could lead to a particularly nasty type of DRM if someone was so inclined.

[ainmosni]

OK, Empire is looking to be the best Total War yet...

[Benito Mussolini]

I think naval battles is a great thing to add...
And that fight looks epic, but I wonder how smooth such a battle would run...

[Dave]

fuck yeah the british are coming

[ainmosni]

fuck yeah the british are coming

And the big campaign also features the Dutch... this will make for some epic battles...
