Have you played the new expansion Attila ? Actually I watch Vikings (History channel) and since there are vikings in this expansion I was wondering if the Total War serie was any good and not too hard. My friends highly recommended it but I''ve never played so far.
ye its good and not too hard i think. atleast they get easier every release. i think the last ones are shit. i didnt play Shogun2, which was supposed to be good. Shogun1, Medieval1, Rome1 and Medieval2 are the best ones i guess. Empire was a nice idea but full of bugs, napoleon was too small really, more like a expension of Empire. Rome2 was a total fuckup. Didnt even look at attilla. i dont care anymore. they killed that series by now. its sad it was my favorite

All right. I will start with Rome I then. (downloading at the moment) :evilgrin:
you should get the europa barbarorum modification. thats rome how it should have been
although i guess its not for everyone. its alot slower paced in both campaign and battles, mostly the fights are sieges (which is more historical than the fast pitched battles of rome, but also a bit more boring after the campaign goes long). Because of this the battles are more tactical and if you like history though, than that is the mod to play.
depends. i think the mod has alot more depth. but its also harder to play, which means that if you like a challenge, than it will be super fun to find out how to play the game. but maybe if you are new to the series, its has a steep learning curve. i dont know because i had played 3 tws before that, so i already knew all the basics.
so i would say, if you like history and more historic approach of a game, then play the mod. if you like more arcade game with a historic veneer, than play vanilla.

i never played it multiplayer. only singleplayer. i do know alot of the guys that played multi tho. ye it was such a great game. it still is, i would play it if it doesnt bug up so much on newer windows.
Yeah I remember getting on near the end and seeing 5 people online on a saturday. It died slowly but surely Who do you know? I should know them too. Heard of Don clan?
Yeah and AMD customers are screwed because it's optimized for nvida GPUs. But the studio has released a new patch, I haven't downloaded it yet though. Playing with 30 fps hurts...

You need to buy at least 2 back up controllers, because you are very likely to rage and destroy one
But seriously, it''s a very rewarding game. The first time I played it, I died so many times that it isnt even funny anymore. But every time you die, you know what you did wrong and you will learn, untill you eventually become really good at the game. It''s just very rewarding, while being really challenging.
Also the combat system is really cool. I really can''t play skyrim anymore because its combat sucks so much compared to dark souls.

yeah i heard DS has a good combat system. timed dodges are essential and you can''t over do it because you lose stamina
Yeah you can use keyboard and mouse, but I do prefer the controller. Though keyboard and mouse is fine aswell.
And yeah timed dodges are essential. Mostly because getting hit is actually a big deal. Even simple enemies will hit you for like 30% of your hitpoints and you can only replentisch them five times, without respawning all the enemies. So if you can''t consistently avoid damage, you won''t be able to complete an area and its boss.
