(continued, thumbs up if you agree on both my comments so everyone can see)
Just imagine playing as a samurai warlord and fighting an ever expanding Roman empire.
OR being in command of the indian kingdom that brought alexander the great's army to its knees at the battle of Hydaspes? OR playing as the etruscans or one of the latin or sabine cities and battling Rome for control of Italy?!
Or hell even playing as Epirus and fighting greece and macedon for control of Greece!
A siege is a military blockade of a city or fortress with the intent of conquering by attrition or assault. The term derives from sedere, Latin for "to sit". Generally speaking, siege warfare is a form of constant, low intensity conflict characterized by one party holding a strong, static defensive position. Consequently, an opportunity for negotiation between combatants is not uncommon, as proximity and fluctuating advantage can encourage diplomacy.
A siege occurs when an attacker encounters a city or fortress that cannot be easily taken by a coup de main and refuses to surrender. Sieges involve surrounding the target and blocking the reinforcement or escape of troops or provision of supplies (a tactic known as "investment"), typically coupled with attempts to reduce the fortifications by means of siege engines, artillery bombardment, mining (also known as sapping), or the use of deception or treachery to bypass defences.
Sieges probably predate the development of cities as large population centres. Ancient cities in the Middle East show archaeological evidence of having had fortified city walls. During the Warring States era of ancient China, there is both textual and archaeological evidence of prolonged sieges and siege machinery used against the defenders of city walls.
Siege machinery was also a tradition of the ancient Greco-Roman world. During the Renaissance and the Early Modern period, siege warfare dominated the conduct of war in Europe. Leonardo da Vinci gained as much of his renown from the design of fortifications as from his artwork.
Medieval campaigns were generally designed around a succession of sieges. In the Napoleonic era, increasing use of ever more powerful cannon reduced the value of fortifications. In the 20th century, the significance of the classical siege declined. With the advent of mobile warfare, a single fortified stronghold is no longer as decisive as it once was.
While traditional sieges do still occur, they are not as common as they once were due to changes in modes of battle, principally the ease by which huge volumes of destructive power can be directed onto a static target. Modern sieges are more commonly the result of smaller hostage, militant, or extreme resisting-arrest situations such as the Waco Siege.
RTW was the best Total War! Since the Total War series works with Steam I don´t buy it any more! I want to OWN a game. Since Steam is the platform for much games I don´t play computer games any more.
@Kardanwelle1994 I don't really understand this attitude, Steam is by far and away the best PC gaming platform/DRM. I'd much rather have Steam than the DRM that other studios put in their games - Steam allows you to play the same game on multiple PCs with no need for discs, you can chat with friends in-game and easily find multiplayer matches, Steam automatically patches your games, the Steam store is an easy (if not cheap) way to get new games... I don't see what's so bad about it!
@ScourgeOfGodUK The only thing that worries me when I choose to buy on steam is what would happen if steam went bankrupcy or something like that. I mean, would all the games be lost? Because I bought a lot of games :S
@Kaede5 True, that might be a legitimate concern, but since Valve has made its founder Gabe Newell a billionaire, I doubt it'll go bankrupt anytime soon! If Valve ever did enter into financial trouble, you can bet your bottom dollar that a slew of companies would be lining up to buy it. Furthermore, it would not take much to get the games you've d/l'ed working without Steam. So I'm sure that, in the scheme of things, your data is safe.
Does anyone know if it possible to play this battle at all (as in if it's in the game files somewhere or theres a way to make a battle similar to that) as in scenario you can't dictate where armies set up if your not controlling them, and you cant deploy troops outside of the city if your the defender
@Larszz Can you remember how to find it? I've looked under historical and custom battles but can't seem to find it.... unless im missing it completely
I recall when I first got this game, I wanted to make battles THAT eppic and that large scale, of course I couldn't, if I did it be running at max 5 frames a second or something. virtually unplayable. Now that I got another 4870 coming in and gonna run in crossfire over-clocked I wonder if I could live my dream of a perfect huge scale war with a smooth FPS
@goodfty I have a good Cpu now. (phenom II 965) Recall this game came out in 2004? and back then I had a some pretty dated custom computer. I think I had a Pentium 4 i think running 2.2ghz? and Idr what the graphics card was but it was a budget card that came out around 2002? maybe 2003. This game now runs perfectly the way i like it.
this almost seems like a rip off of the lord of the rings movie the roman forces defend the city (minas tirith) and the army of a fellow roman (rohan) brings a million horses and THEN the enemy brings in a bunch of elephants (oliphants) to fight the horses... next they you know there will be trolls assalting the front door an- wait... an elephant already did? well thats close enough!!!
i've got some problems with the game...when i run it, the intro doesn't show and if a faction gets destroyed or i catch a wonder, the screen turns black and afterwards an erorr rhingy pops up. How do i fix it? It used to work.
your computer clearly has a problem, this is not a bug. You need to go on craigslist, buy a used cpu, have a pro look at it before you buy it clearly, than take the deal. Always make sure to have a pro check it first.
isnt it funny to think that with divorces today through the roof IT IS AN EDUCATED GUESS TO SAY THAT ROMANS WERE BETTER AT PASSING DOWN THEIR GOLD AND RICHES TO THEIR BLOOD LINE AS OPPOSED TO NOW WITH ALL THE LEGALITIES WITH SPLITTING IN FAMILIES..
@yammer123 No... They need to make multiplayer campaign map in RTW. Patch or something. :P I would love that! Well i love this game anyway but that would be... Enormous!
@AbbasGirl17 Macedon, Greek City States, Julii, Carthage, and Seleucid. Seleucids i'll admit are so rigged in custom battle.They have like 1 unit from each empire and culture.
Greeks are great for city defense. If you lose a city as the greeks you're a retard because the phalanx's make it almost impossible for a huge army to get in at once.,
@hankock1015 yes, greeks have the most powerful unit rome, but the seleucids have elephants, heavy cavalry, hoplites and legions, and some weak archers units .... i say they are just the best :D
They should make a new rome tw, called Rome tw: Julius Caesar. And make his historical battles against gauls, and his own campaign back then, with Cleopatra and Brutus, civil war and assassination, pompey and Mark Anthony and stuff like that. Now that would be awesomeness
I wish my teacher was that cool we got such a laymans term for how they collapsed it almost made me cry she said the roman empire collapsed because of angry men and barbarians and that was it
Stormwern, there is a LOTR:TW for the RTW expansion Alexander, and there is a TA:TW mod for the M2 expansion Kingdoms. Sure there is a Middle-earth: Total War.
I've been asking myself the last five years, why is noone making Middle Earth: Total War. Imagine this with trolls, ents, baelrogs, mûmakil etc, too awesome for words.
the music in this intro is simply awesome. try listening to it a bit louder(if u have a good soundsystem even better) and the hair on your arms will stand up. it just simply makes you wanna go to war and chop someones head of.
What difference does this make? Anyway if you look at the intro you can instantly tell what civilizations are shown and from there can determine whether this is one of the expansions or the original version.
right ok i have almost completed it al the factions are destroyed and their is only the romans left i want to attack them but i cant because of civil revolt how can i calm these down
Rome Total Realism is an amazing mod for the game, it makes everything much more realistic, it increases the size of the campaign map incredibley, dozens of new settlements are added. The one setback is, it's much harder than the regular RTW, buildings take longer, and so do units, it's more realistc.
How do you film your battle in RTW. Is there somthing I can download free to get it? I just really need to know for a school project. also if possible can you tell me how to get it on a power point?
youre right, but its a time factor. Ive been reading the EB boards, and they are currently working on EB2 using the Medievel 2 engine. Projected release date is sometime early 2010... bumber
ok, so, i use the julii, and i was able to conquer about half of the known world (the things in the map) but the settlements keep revolting! it seems that the distance to the capital is the problem. what can i do to make all of my settlements happy and at the same time conquer all?
well its free and if you cant get online read my friend "the prince of macedon" acount to help. its more thrilling than playing the A.I. all the time supposedly

Okay here is what I want for Rome 2 total war.
I want a game where U can select the year and empire u want to be, ex: 3,000 BC and ur the Sumerians or ancient egyptians.
Then as the game moves on u see other nations "emerge" ex: 1,500 BC Mycenaeans emerge, etc.
OR
I can select the year 1,500 BC and play as the Mycenaeans or 500 BC and play as the Babylonians or chinese.
I want HISTORICAL accuracy and accurate units.
I want to play as Alexander the great and conquer china!
Thumbs up if u agree.

slaughter the slaves and exterminate the city

what is realisim mod? what it do?
kingy133 3 years ago
Rome Total Realism is an amazing mod for the game, it makes everything much more realistic, it increases the size of the campaign map incredibley, dozens of new settlements are added. The one setback is, it's much harder than the regular RTW, buildings take longer, and so do units, it's more realistc.

How do you film your battle in RTW. Is there somthing I can download free to get it? I just really need to know for a school project. also if possible can you tell me how to get it on a power point?
JPX123 3 years ago
You can use a screen recorder. Idk if they're free or not.
I'm pretty sure you can't get it in a powerpoint. Try a CD or something. That's your best bet right there.
Hope that helps.

Good mod, but I think Europa Barbarum is the best!

I haven't tried that one but I've heard good things bout it.
Just imagine what the RTR and EB crews can do with the new Total War game :-)

youre right, but its a time factor. Ive been reading the EB boards, and they are currently working on EB2 using the Medievel 2 engine. Projected release date is sometime early 2010... bumber

i got a question, someone plz answer.
ok, so, i use the julii, and i was able to conquer about half of the known world (the things in the map) but the settlements keep revolting! it seems that the distance to the capital is the problem. what can i do to make all of my settlements happy and at the same time conquer all?
