Empire total war

[Markam]

Probably the greatest game of the year for me, it has its issues for sure, but its epicness never lets you down.

Mods are small scale so far, but one makes the game much better, like adding marines, I love the one that adds real life army marching music, really adds to the feel. Freelancer has made me a RP freak. Spend most of my time fixing the world like Team America World police, even forced the American revolution, gave them territory, and they declared war on me.

combat wise its an entirely different game, and having two seperate units grouped into one (ranged+melee) actually makes it more tactical than Medieval 2. Ship combat is something special, dont like ships blowing up, but it doesnt happen often, though probably too much. I hear multiplayer is great fun, compared to the AI, but I was never much for it.

I also like the fact that Medieval two is a completely different game, so if I get bored of one, I can go to another and it wont feel the same at all. Gotta try out the LOTR mod for M2TW.
