Have yet to play another RTS game where I felt as accomplished/satisfied...

as when I won a bettle that i had a <15% chance of winning....

I had 1 Group of Cavalry, 2 spears, 2 archers against a full card army... Managed to get them to retreat... (tho they then attack again right after and annihilated me cause then i was down to about 2 unit cards worth)

Spears in front, archers behind em... Cavalry positioned in woods far off to one of the sides.

Used the cavalry to initate "chases" in enemy units so their charges would be smaller.... then Managed to pull charging run-throughs (Would swoop in left to right, then right to left... repeat, never stopped and engage just abused charging/flanking)with the cavalry unit as their front lines charged... Spears held off ground while Archers and Cavalry did all the real killing... managed to slaughter the first waves and the enemy eventually turned and ran thanks to Morale... was a fine day indeed... until they crushed me in their next engagement hahahah

Let him figure it out for himself. Many of my friends that played BW really enjoyed SC2. The only people that seemed to be unhappy with it were the most hardcore members of the BW community and the game has gotten a lot more fun since then.


People who were too hung up on being elitist didn't like it. Most people can enjoy both games even if they are different.

I've spent so many hours on RTW and its a really good game but in the end you start to hit stuff over and over that really bugs you out. I can recommend you medieval Total War. Amazing game or Shogun Total War 1, not the sequel.
Going to sit on a train for a couple of hours today, maybe I'll fix Shogun on my comp once again :D!

God I remember the good 'ol days of Shogun1. The recent Shogun was a nightmare though...

I saw they're making another Rome TW so I'm kinda excited about that. Might give it a try.

I never played RTW, only heard that it was a good game. For some reason, it sounds like AOE albeit with different bonuses and no macro(according to OP's post). I'm not sure how much I would've enjoyed it but no point in dwelling on the past lol. Nice to have you back to BW OP and as for SCII, you may or may not like it. I'll still give it a try though to be fair

Out of all the games I've ever played, the only ones that keep me coming back are RTW and SC2. Not only are the real time strategy battles really fun in RTW, but the campaign is fantastic, and I have hundreds of hours in it according to steam.

Sure, it has its flaws, which usually end up with me getting bored with the game after of couple weeks of playing the grand campaign or online battles, but I always come back.
