18:13:32 Sep 19th 07 - Sir Jack Frost:

How many of you have that game, and whats your fav fraction ?


18:27:54 Sep 19th 07 - Mr. Brannigans Law:

julii!


18:39:45 Sep 19th 07 - Sir Jack Frost:

hmmm... they are cool but their colonies are poor, personaly i prefer Scipii


18:41:13 Sep 19th 07 - Mr. Brannigans Law:

i think julii have the best starting position, they can conquer whoever they want from the start!


18:42:18 Sep 19th 07 - Mr. Tabul:

I don't have it :(
But i will have it!
I ask it for Cristmas :)


18:42:47 Sep 19th 07 - Mr. Brannigans Law:

just go out and buy it...


18:43:46 Sep 19th 07 - Sir Jack Frost:

lol, ture, but Gual citys are crap.

You also have to weave in and out of the alps & you don't get as good bonouses from temples...


18:44:42 Sep 19th 07 - Mr. Brannigans Law:

if the first city yo take is carthage...you will kick booty


18:45:54 Sep 19th 07 - Sir Jack Frost:

nope the 2nd ;-))

1st is Greek,


18:59:53 Sep 19th 07 - Mr. Brannigans Law:

no, you can choose what you take...


19:01:37 Sep 19th 07 - Sir Jack Frost:

True, but i always follow orders from the senate.


19:05:22 Sep 19th 07 - Mr. Ramiel:

i think there is a forum o totalwar.com and there are other total war forums like heaven thing....why not you all discuss this there actually?


19:08:13 Sep 19th 07 - Mr. Brannigans Law:

/me starts pushing Ramiel around


20:11:57 Sep 19th 07 - Sir Ragnarr Stormguard:

Scipii are my favorite fraction.
I also enjoy the game playing with the Greeks and the Selucid Empire.


21:39:31 Sep 19th 07 - Sir Jack Frost:

i also like the Selucids, The Eygiptions are my favourites, though i haven't played them yet...

I don't like the greeks. (Their to slow)


21:44:16 Sep 19th 07 - Mr. Atreides:

Every faction is awesome lol....seriously, I like them all. Some of my favorites are probably Greece, Macedon, and the Seleucid Empire.


21:46:24 Sep 19th 07 - Sir Jack Frost:

i hate the greeks,

They have crap cavelry and they are supposed to make up for this with strong troops, but their hopliets are so so and hard to turn that they don't make up for it...


21:46:58 Sep 19th 07 - Mr. Messiah:

Medieval Total War 2 is better.. But for Rome, I really like Greece, the spartans are imba =)


22:50:57 Sep 19th 07 - Sir Jack Frost:

Can anyone answer this question ?

How do i unlock the special scipii ships ?

Thanks .


23:01:28 Sep 19th 07 - Mr. Atreides:

Not sure what the special ships are, but I'm guessing you'd just build a better dock.

Hoplites are only slow and hard to turn if you keep them in phalanx formation...when you're moving you should get out of that.....and they are amazing in phalanx! They just slow attackers, which is why I somewhat prefer Macedon. They got good cavalry too.


23:06:41 Sep 19th 07 - Sir Ragnarr Stormguard:

Upgrade the docks to their maximum level. I don't really know,... I captured the colosus and the Great Lighthouse, maybe that helped,...
I haven't played Rome Total War in a year...
Though Medieval II is really great, I played it lately,


23:46:25 Sep 19th 07 - Mr. Rock Hard Reginald:

I've got a game mod for rome total war, allows me to play with napoleonic units. :)


08:53:56 Sep 20th 07 - Mr. Seloc:

I like the greeks but I want to be macadionia!!!!!!


09:06:15 Sep 20th 07 - Mr. Goldsie:

Greatest gAME EVER

Romans FTW, Any team with elephants otherwise


16:24:00 Sep 20th 07 - Mr. Dragondwarf:

go britannia!


16:42:43 Sep 20th 07 - Mr. Tabul:

yeah, they have those head hurlers i have read...must be fun...:)
Where do you actually get them?


16:54:09 Sep 20th 07 - Mr. Dragondwarf:

you get the head hurlers through one of the brit gods i think its brigantia's second religous ground i also like julii and scipii butim not so sure about brutii


16:59:42 Sep 20th 07 - Mr. Nergal:

sound iteresting...:)

and how do you worship such a god? do you need to build temples or so?


17:48:09 Sep 20th 07 - Mr. Dreadii:

seleuds are great. also like egyptians.
greeks only have spartan hopalites htat are good(+expensive) but as the name says they only train in sparta in 2 ticks for the rest they dont have strong troops.


18:20:25 Sep 20th 07 - Mr. Seloc:

I can win anything heroicly if I have horses or greek hoplities!

200horse (me, roman first mounted unit) vs 2000gaul infantory I won heroic-ly but it took like half an hour just charging and retreating.....


18:27:00 Sep 20th 07 - Sir Ragnarr Stormguard:

Bah, I once guarded a bridge with only two spartan formations, a single phalanx formation and two formations of mercenary archers against a huge eastern army, mainly cavalry. I lost only 20 men then, while they lost almost their whole army. And the lack-wit part of it was that when they started retreating, by some bug in the game they started running into my spear-wall again...


19:00:01 Sep 20th 07 - Mr. Dragondwarf:

hehehe.... that reminds me of the time i surronded a fort with only a general in in it my reinforcements routed the general who was like 8 star command the general turned around to run for it and within seconds of running in the other direction he ran his horse into a hoplite spear wall(by the way how do you get videos off youtube onto here?)


19:00:05 Sep 20th 07 - Mr. Tabul:

Bridge battles? Bah....
Eysiest thing in the world...
Go play a sirios battle...and write about THAT....


19:03:25 Sep 20th 07 - Mr. Dragondwarf:

19:06:46 Sep 20th 07 - Mr. Tabul:

ok...will rember that when i buy the game....
Now i have only the demo...and read all things they write on the froums there, etc.
Can't wait to have it :)


19:09:29 Sep 20th 07 - Mr. Dragondwarf:

Okay, boy, here's one for ye.
Have you ever survived an attack from a large germanic army with only five early legionary cohorts, a general and an auxilia unit? And I'm not talking about random weak germanic units, but chosen axemen and their best cavalry, forgot their name,...
Have you ever beaten a force of outnumbering Carthaginian elephants, golden band and golden band cavalry with republican units? It's damn hard.
Have you ever won a historical battle, the one were Carthage ambushes the Republic at the lake?
I simply wrote the bridge battle to explain about the retreat bug, lad.


21:16:30 Sep 20th 07 - Mr. Tabul:

Historical battles i have wone all who are at the demo..they are easy even on hard....
Chartage is ambushing romans is VERY easy....
I have also played barbarion demo..like atilla vs Romans most :)
Also played Medieval II Demo Gold...like Otumba most :)
The other thigs are not on demo....:)
But tell me about some please...i like multiplayer games the most...i mean where you play a battle against other players...computer is easy as far as i ahve heard on the forums :)


21:26:21 Sep 20th 07 - Sir Ragnarr Stormguard:

I used to play Rome, lad, but I haven't played in 2 years and I can't now because I have too many exams. ):
Anyway, forgive me if I was too sharp.
(:


21:36:28 Sep 20th 07 - Mr. Kassius Xxi:

whats with all the lads lol? anywho rome is great fave is carthage, full army of nelefants bunched together thn charge.........................thats about the limit of my expertise :P


21:41:00 Sep 20th 07 - Mr. Tabul:

ok  And i'm a boy...only 14 years old :)
i wan't really kind either...^^ :P

How are going the exams?

And have you an acount on total war forums or on the heaven forums? Maybe i have read a guide or something of you ^^....
Or you don't write them? :)


21:42:36 Sep 20th 07 - Sir Ragnarr Stormguard:

I never write in forums of games. Never.


21:48:04 Sep 20th 07 - Mr. Tabul:

ah...:(


21:48:16 Sep 20th 07 - Mr. Tabul:

why not?


21:50:12 Sep 20th 07 - Sir Ragnarr Stormguard:

I just don't. No particular reason,...


08:55:20 Sep 21st 07 - Mr. Seloc:

This is a game....


14:35:06 Sep 21st 07 - Mr. Lassie:

I used to play it, I went over to mediveal 2 instead. Rome total war was really a mess, it had some very nice things about it though. The diffrent factions felt really exotic etc.


06:32:14 Sep 22nd 07 - Mr. Atreides:

I started playing Medieval 2...I like the Medieval era better lol. So much more going on. The best thing is bribing a huge enemy army right as it steps out of a city leaving it undefended.....that's my basic strategy lol. Not really, but I do love doing that ;)


14:17:26 Sep 22nd 07 - Mr. Ject:

You wanna know about something i've managed before?

I've defeated 5 large egyption armies who were all about 1500 sized all in a row who were attacking a city and my only defenders were a Roman general, 2 mercinary Skirmishers from the deserts, 1 wardogs, 1 Hastati and 1 hoplite mercinary and the hastati and hoplites were already half dead. Which altogether came close to 400 defenders. Every battle was heroic too.
