Just between you and me and anyone else that reads this thread...I never played Shogun.

My most succesful multi would have been Viking Invasion, my viking army was almost unstoppable. 1v1 no contest. 2v2 easy. I even had a pug 4v4 team collapse and my vikings routed 3 enemy armies before running out of vikings to send to valhalla. Then again there was little that could defeat 4x4 heavy infantry and skirmish screen with no other faction having 4 or more types of heavy inf let alone heavy inf with that high morale. All that raping and pillaging.

Was a huge fan of the TW series.... Literally played Medieval/VI to death! Invaded Scandi as the Saxons lol! Swabians & Huscarls FTW!!! Loved Rome, although not the glitches, with Rome I dedicated a lot of time to assisting several modifications, RTR, EB, Invasio Barbarorum and the Chivalry mod (I even participated in the Latin-voice mod hehe)... Enthusiasm curbed after I bought MedII though.... The fact CA couldn't even get Axemen/Halberds to work in game.... WTF? After which I played mods only... I didn't even by Empire, hardly crossed my mind in fact..

Multi campaign though........... Don't... Think........ I.... Can..... Re......sis.........t......

Might buy it on steam ey..

Aawww no call to be a meany!

I just recall hours and hours played the series... Should have been studying more in yr11 and 12, but no.... TW and Civ destroyed my education! Would be good to hit up a Multi campaign though, they've being trying to implement it since Viking Invasion IIRC.. As I said, didn't even buy Empire TW, did not even consider it.... Hopefully Nappy is a step in the right direction!

For the record though, I moved my time from TW style games and have since become a big fan of Paradox Interactive. They are both quite in depth games, and executed very differently, but PI support is a whole lot better than CA/Sega..

Spent hours on all the Total War games from Rome TW onwards, played it absolutely to death, come to think of it I was playing it yesterday. Medieval TW 2 was great fun and Kingdoms was a great expansion that I actually ended up playing more than the original campaigns. Empire I didnt rate at all, it doesnt have the same mechanics I came to love, siege warfare and melee combat, way too much musket and cannon for my liking. Played it through once and that was enough for me to never play it again.

Recently got Napoleon TW and I must say its much more impressive and immersive. The way you can play the actual campaigns of Napoleon is a great addition to the series, I throughly enjoyed the mechanics of these particular campaigns, the pre determined events and Liberating a country and making it subservient to your nation. I particularly liked the attrition, your troops slowing dying on the long march from Krakow to Moscow in the blistering cold or dying from the extreme heat in the desert trying to trek some isolated settlement in Egypt.

I'm actually considering re-buying RTW on steam... The modding community is still super active and there are a large number of modifications that completely transform it... You guys tried any of them??

I hope they dont fark it up. As much as I have enjoyed all of their games, the cinematic feel and simplified civilization management feels like a slow downward spiral. Only reason i dont still play Shogun is the lack of unit variety. So fingers crossed Rome will excel (like it has previously) at different factions

after some of the things I've read, I'm pretty skeptical.

will wait till I get a new graphics card and then I'll consider buying it (3 months away). should be enough time for patches and hopefully a good expansion. but best of all, decent mods!

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
