completely agree.

I must say that there are elements in RTW that would be great in MTW. There currently is a big petition in the works to get CA to not stray too far.Lets hope for MTW 2.

Shoggy has no votes but it is a great little game with its small campaign and big battle maps.

Originally posted by Cywr I took the lame option and voted all. Really i wanted a blend of RTW and MTW somewhat.

OOPS! I was thinking about that, until the bell rang for the next class, so I didn't have any time to so, srry.

Sh�gun. The gameplay really fitted its historical context, the Sengoku Jidai, whereas the others didn't. The feel of a game means much to me. I haven't played RTW though.

Makes me want to pick up a quick game of shoggy. Anyone ever play the warlord campaign with the mongols?

RTW is the best by far. The graphics and gameplay are much better than MTW and STW. MTW was just wierd because i found my self just auto-simulating the battles and winning every time because the 3d battles were just stupid. On MTW once i had 8 troops in a castle vs 1500 saracen infantry or something like that and somehow they still won. In RTW theres at least a challenge.

yeah, i once played with Mongols and won in no time with basically using horse archers only, rather boring but the end video was cool  

using harbours you can amass quite some force from all over japan in the mongols' strating province, and if you're lucky to beat them in the following battle, you've won the campaign after one round!  but if you want to play the hard way, use a lot of strategical units like ninjas as the Mongols lack morale especially in the early stages of the campaign, and make massive use of the crossbows and later on cavalry, the only Mongol troops you have to fear are the horse archers, Korean guardsmen and the heavy cavalry if you lack spearmen with much morale. javelineers and grenadiers can also be nasty if you let them close enough.
