What should I get?

[Bellum]

From what I've seen, most of the mods are still unfinished. I'm giving it another year before I give it another go. They just recently found out how to edit buildings, and it looks very complicated. I hope to see ancient cities in EB II.

It was on the same engine of Rome, so I don't notice the difference between the two games problems of too many sieges.

1 Key difference that makes Rome awesome:

Europa Barbarorum.

*shrug*
I've been trying to compare the two without the mods, and you've both seemed to have skipped vanilla.

Why the **** wouldn't you? I'd never play either game in vanilla. Ever.

Gothic I is superior to Gothic II, by the way. Quests don't feel like they were taken by the handful out of a flower basket and thrown all over the place, and essentially same graphics. In case you are worried about that. Which if you were, you probably wouldn't be playing Gothic. So nevermind. Ahem.

Medieval 2 was crap,

Most wars fought back in the day of Rome actually did involve battles in the open field...

Point being Medieval's sieges are about as much fun as castration with a plastic spatula. Not only are the mechanics themselves pants, but nothing brings out the shoddy AI and botched pathfinding like a city street.

I agree, M2: TW is **** even with mods.

 

[Redcoat-Mic]

Still not true, there's a few total conversations, but a million and one little tweaks. One of Stainless Steel's key features is less importance put on sieges.

 

[Raz]

A shame I didn't notice any difference in that while playing the mod. It's not just the emphasis on sieges, it's the ****ty execution and rock-paper-scissors gameplay too. Not to mention the fantasy equipment and the fact that generals seemed to be wearing late medieval plate in the ****ing 10th century according to Creative Assembly. The tech development goes way too fast too. Each time I played, every nation somehow managed to get troops in full plate armour before the end of the 12th century. Ass game.

GTA IV is coming around on october 18 for pc and it has better graphic than the PS3 and 360

Hope this help!

Dude, seriously you think he doesn't know that?! Thats probably the ****iest game most advertised!!

Have you ever played Full Spectrum Warrior?
If not he is available for download(free) in Filefront along with Area 51 and Rise & Fall: Civilizations at War!

Erm, what? The game or demo? I checed it out but uh, couldn't find it. Can anyone confirm if they're giving this away?

 

[Archonsod]

I never found any of the mods for the TW series remotely interesting myself

 

[Bellum]

So, yeah, I still suck at TF2. I'm afraid to even try the support classes. Maybe a spy, but the medic and engineer seem too important for me to **** up.

 

[Temujin]

Get medieval total war II kingdoms, then get Stainless steel then get AOR colonies expanded for this:

 

[BadabombadaBang]

Looks like it got ****ed up the ass with bloom.

Yeh, found that link. Sadly, Rise and Fall would have been a pretty good game if given some modding tools.

Isn't that empire total war?

 

[Redcoat-Mic]

No?
