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!

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
