Yeah, the TW games are like the best games on the face of the earth. I only have a problem with going bankrupt like,20 turns into the game, and then losing because of it, but the battle systems are the best in the world, especially Rome: TW, because of the fire missile weapons, looks cool when you have about 500 archers, all firing fire arrows at the same time.
Go for Rome TW over M:TW, both are good, but R:TW is better.

500 archers.....my god man....you only need 4 sets of archers, 2 sets of Onagers, a lot of cohort infantry and some spearmen
But the trick is not to go into bankrupcy is to limit the amount of buildings you put up...Emphasize trade! and if you are playing as the Julius family the only way is through military might AND listening to what the senate says

I am just saying that it looks really cool to have 500 archers pounding the heck out of something, and I stopped going bankrupt a couple weeks ago, but thanks for the advice.

To answer your question: from what I can tell, the names of kings are authentic for the period, but I'm not sure if they necessarily follow each other the same way they did in RL history. I've heard that you can get certain "hero" kings (such as Richard I for the English) and other types of units with special stat boosts (one time I got a 4-star Catholic Bishop named Saxo Grammaticus--oddly enough, I was playing as Hungary at the time).

Byzantines rock the face of Europe. Their Infantry, archers, and heavy cavalry kill EVERYTHING.

At the start of the game: yes. But after that: no. For example Turks start with Hasan Sabbah and Suleiman(or Kilijarslasn) in the early period. That is correct.
Also during the game some funny things might happen. For example once when I was playing with the English there was a rebellion in Northumbria. The name of the leader of the rebels was Robin of Loxley. Also I saw a French rebel general called Baron du Lac.

You are right. Unfortunately they lack units which are good against cavalry so when there is a mongol invasion or playing against Turks some problems appear because spearmen have poor morale. Varangian Guards are the best.

SHAME ON YOU!!! CHEATING...lol no I dont know any because I have been learning how to play by the rules...then after that I played around with cheating and it took a lot of the fun outa the game
I've loved both Shogun and Medieval Total War. I'm not sure how many of Shogun you will find (including it's expansion CD) since the game is much older, about seven years old by now, I think, but you should find Medieval for a decent price.King Flevance said:I know this is not about CIV really, excuse the intrusion but I am thinking of getting one of the total war games soon to try out the series finally. Does anyone recommend one besides Rome? (a bit steep atm)
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:Why does war games do this weird hyperlink? It wasnt me I swear.
There is apparently a fourth Total War game in production, set to come at the end of this year: Medieval 2:Total War

It looks like it may be a later or longer version of the original Medieval, though not much info is availiable now.

Ok thanks anyway.
If you really care about the cheat codes that are out there, then look up on Gamespot or any number of other gaming websites for the info.
