Anyone play Rome Total War, or have any good recommendations for add-on packs (which you have actually used yourself)? Especially anything that will beef up the quality of the AI.
Let me know if you want to have a bash at it multi.

Supposedly Rome: total realism and Europa Barbarorum are the best for mods although I haven't personally tried either
And what is your name on gamespy? I play under the name of Lime, so hit me up some time.
I've been obsessed with the Total War series since Shogun. Rome is one of my favorites. I've only used Europa Barbororum for a short time, I wasn't really fond of the changes. Its worth giving it a shot though.

If you liked the way Rome:Total War changed the map and diplomacy system then you'll love Medieval II. Crusades and Jihads are a lot of fun, but are really tedious and annoying sometimes. I had the most fun chasing the Pope around the world killing him until my Cardinal had enough votes out of bribery or just outright fear that I'd massacre them
I love Rome:Total War but never tried it on-line at all.
Is multilayer any good?
Empire Total War just came out and it's epic fun
ive played the top mods for rome total war, Europa barbaria or whatever is waay too intense. Get something a little more fun,.
XGM extended greek mod
its totally bad ass, you can use spartans to totally kick everyone's ass
Is the game that good? I tried to get into the game but the tutorial just took too long so I gave up. How long does it take to learn how to play?
I'm wondering if this game is worth a re download... i mean install.
Medieval II is a fun game. The campaign where you control what armies to send where is fun but at times can be slow and tedious, though Rise of Nations could take some cues from it. The battles are amazing, but I'm only good at throwing all the units into the fray at once and losing 96% of my soldiers.
Medieval 2 is my favourite, probably because I'm rather well-versed in that particular period in history. The only issue I have with it is that the pikemen are ridiculously overpowered, which in turn makes Scotland and France the only factions worth playing in multiplayer (unless the other side has naptha).
I still have it installed on my computer. I never really could get into it. The main campaign was too difficult (for me) and battles required a lot of managing the individual units and stuff. I liked Company of Heroes though, which is slightly similar in that you have to control attack strategy and whatjazz.
