OK heres waat i think. this game. is totaly... EPIC. best series ever. no other series can simply match the scale of the armies and the accuracy of the campaign, and yet still be so fun. Who doesnt love taking over the world, and fighting epic battles against the Mongol horde to defend your cities at all costs. Anyone who doesnt like it A- is not a fan of strategy gaming/the series. or B is just saying it to piss us off , or C, you just have no taste AT ALL. If you think its boring, a little advice. you dont have to manage anything at all, you can tell the comp to manage your citeies for you. all you have to do then is manage your agents and do the battles. Also, you dont have to follow the movement. Change it in options.Oh also.. I was always looking for a series like this , when someone told me about RTW , and i read up on it.. I praised the Lord.. it is everything i ever wanted in a game.I CANT WAIT FOR Empire: Total war WOOTTTT
