medieval: total war

[Khan]

are you on at the moment? we could play now

[Terror]

when i see you on msn, i'll contact you, or you contact me ofcoure :)... one question though, does it work reasonable with a 56K modem?

[Terror]

oh yeah, that was a nice fight... i wonder though... what units did you exactly have? and what level where they? (i mean valour, weapons, armor)

I saw that you had 2 culverins or demi culverins (i'm not sure)

Lancers

Knights of santiago

Chivalric men at arms

Swiss armored pikemen

Feudal sergeants

Please update the numbers and the ones i forgot (and i'm not exactly sure what artillery you had)

i must admit i feared your artillery heavily in the beginning because you were aiming for my generals unit, and the first shot killed 2 of them... luckily the general wasn't one of them....

my chivalric knights kicked ass though :) they did the best fighting of all my units, Your lancers raped one of my crossbowmen squads though and one of my chivalric men at arms units was wiped out except for 4 guys who managed to escape.

My army was:

3 units of 40 chivalric knights 1 included the general for a total of 120

3 units of 60 chivalric men at arms for a total of 180

2 units of 96 swiss armored pikemen for a total of 192

2 units of 60 chivalric sergeants for a total of 120

2 units of 60 archers for a total of 120

2 units of 60 arbalesters for a total of 120

total soldiers: 852

All my units where level 2 valour, weapons and armor except for the archers and arbalesters who only had level 2 valour and weapons

Could you sum up what this game is about? I'm thinking of buying it, but I'm not getting it if it's just a AoE or Settlers rip off.

[Terror]

it's nothing like settlers, or AoE2, it isn't a rip off of anything

it is a TBS/RTS game. Tactical decissions like moving your armies, princesses, emissaries, bishops, etc. and building up your countries is done on a big beautiful map of europe/northern afrika/middle east. When you attack another faction, you will be brought to a 3d landscape on which your army and the enemies army is postitioned. The attacker can choose when to attack, this way it has the advantage of choosing the weather circumstances like rain, snow, sandstorms. and the defender can position its units before the battle commences giving it a tactical advantage..... the battles are gorgeous and it feel realy cool when you've taken over an enemy country... there are many more option than i explained here but you wil find them out when you've played the game, i can say 1 thing... buy it

[Khan]

yep thats all i had - i upgraded all armour and weapons to the max except for artillary and every one had 1 valour. Its kind of annoying playing over gay spy i couldnt see any games when i was in the chat room

[Navaros]

gay spy lol that's cute

i call it gamespyWARE but i guess we all have our pet names that are just as good

isn't that game played over won.net though like other sierra games?

[Khan]

no you can only play it over lan or gayspy

[Terror]

yeah, it would've been better if it were on msn gaming zone or won.net

[Anathema]

Sh1t! Could you have told me it was Gamespy before I bought it? O well, the alternative game I would buy was Warrior Kings and that's Gamespy too :-.

[Terror]

well, believe me, it's a lot better than warrior kings, and besides, it is mainly a singleplayer game anyway

[Khan]

Besides the single player campaign will take you a long long time
