With the amount of time I'm putting into this game, I'm lucky the wifey likes playing it with me.


She loves huts. Every time we start a game we have to build one unit for the sole purpose of seeking out huts.

 

Has anyone picked up Warriors? It's the new expansion and even lets you play as the barbarians!

 

I haven't really played since December - I always have this problem with these games (SimCity/Sims/Civ/etc.) where I get really into them and get bored within a week or so. After a while its all the same

 

Once I learn the deke move that always works, the game gets boring.

 

Yea I really dont like the millitary strategy put into this game there are no seperate battles from the map. I still rise of nations is probably the best RTS.

 

I vote for Rome: Total War in terms of separate battles, large scale strategy and managing your dynasty

In terms of pure large scale strategy: Hearts of Iron 2, simulating World War 2, chose any nation that historically existed and go from there!

 

I played Rome and its okay...but I didn't like having to wait until you sire children or marry them off in order to have enough govenors to rule each state you take over.

 

True..

Occasionally if one of your captains does well in a battle you control, you can adopt him into your family.

 

Yea the problem with Rome total war is that I like more modern RTS games. Not ones just doing with the classical era.
