ORIGINAL: Chickenboy Of the Total War games I've played, I found the original Shogun:Total War to be my favorite WRT the subject matter. It had its big loopholes, but was great fun-particularly for its day and age. Rome wasn't half bad either, but I couldn't help but feeling at least a little bit guilty crucifying so many Egyptians and Assyrians. Didnt feel any guilt over the Egyptians. Its impossible to keep those buggers happy. They revolt for absolutely no good reason. 1756, Officer's Club, Calcutta A subaltern bursts through the door into the bar screaming "The natives are revolting!!!" An elderly Colonel raises an eyebrow and replies, "On the contrary, sir, I find some of them to be quite nice chaps." I find the quote in Empire Total war more fun "I say, those chaps are trying to kill us. Lets go over there and kill THEM" Empire TW have one thing that makes the game better than the rest: Ability to have naval battles. But somehow the enemy dont like my strategy for the battles, especially if the wind is coming towards me. The strategy is having my ships like this ------------------------. Always work like clockwork. My ships bombard the poor buggers on the other side and the enemy always retreats Agree. The naval battles in Empire are stunnigly beautiful. Totally skewed tactics though. The only thing you have to do is to manuever yourself so you have a downwind (!) position, wait for the opposing side to come after you with full sails, shoot away their rigging and masts with chain shot, and then capture the prizes.
