Human nature itself is bad...

Um... Okay.

And the fact my favorite Author on the net is reading this is making me excited.

And still it looked GREAT

It was good. Though I don't know how many times through I'd be able to watch it before going back to playing Rome: Total War... (I couldn't help yelling "THIS IS SPAAAAAARTA! when Sparta got attacked the other day, even though I'm playing Rome and have already taken Sparta... maybe I should play a game as Sparta...).

Medieval is here, you know.

Yeah... I agree with Post. Medieval II: Total War really is... well, better.

Shinier at any rate.

I've been trying to convince him, but he doesn't listen.

Rome does have more acceptable AI and exploding pigs, But Medieval is better.

I'd rather go with Rome.

As much as I love Rome, I still go with Medieval II. Graphics are a bit better, and videos are nicer. Especially succesful assassination videos.

Who cares about graphics?

Rome had aqeducts. Medieval people didn't even have port-a-potties.

Ever done in the Pope?

I enjoy that far too much.

Damn you. :P

The Pope is like my best friend. In Medieval II.
I managed to wipe out all Heretics, Pagans, Orth. etc. In my rather impressive Europe occupying Empire. :D

I like the one where the assassin hides behind the open door and when the guy comes through it shows him getting stabbed in the back in the shadows on the wall. And then it shows his bloody corpse.

I enjoy that far to much.

M2 pisses me off. The graphics are overly cartoony, your troops never obey orders and can't hold formation to save their lives, and just plain aren't as good as the Rome troops. I prefer the Rome graphics, and cavalry that bloody well do what they're told. And the Pope is IRRITATING and can't be killed nearly often enough.

Use the guard mode. Very usefull.

At least I have Sent on my side.

I don't like the Pope.

Which is all very well, but as soon as you order them to move two inches forwards they turn into a rabble again! At least the Romans can hold formation when they're marching so if you get ambushed you can stop them and be ready to receive a charge.

I always did sack Rome.

Let's be truthful: The Ai manages to ambush you?

What's with you all you Pope-haters?!

*virtually calls Crusades on Sentynel, Gladstone, and Ianna*

I don't care what you say, M2TW is still better.
