Default ETW players, your progress!

Empire: Total War players! Your time has come!
Post on this thread what country you're playing as, your progress, favorite unit, etc
I wanted to see who else still plays this amazing game and I bet I'll get a lot of responses!
Have fun everyone!

Well...I have some good news for you, and some bad news...











Unfortunately the game became difficult to play because the Ottoman Empire has been busy consuming everything east of it and has become a terrifying looking force to both military and CPU. I might get back to it and see if I can free up the CPU by scheming a coalition against the Ottomans...

I only played Rome: Total War '1'.

I installed the "Roma surrection" patch and play as Carthagians, sending the Romans to hell
Like in real life, they ignored all peace treaties. I don't even keep their ridiculous cities, but pillage and raze them, then giving them to the barbarians. Take THAT.

You do realize there are different sections to this forum? You know, like General Games Discussion.

Occasionally yes. Latest game with Great Britain although I have encountered unexpected troubles with both kinds of indians invading British America: Iroquois in western front and Marathas in northeastern front...

You sometimes seem to get further along when you ask your gaming questions somewhere in GT's

I only played ETW for about a week then I uninstalled it, its still in my box of old games even though it will never be installed again.
It was the worst game of the total war series and I haven't bought anything else from Creative Assembly since.

I've heard that Napoleon is superior, but I haven't really done much with it, either which way Darth mod is essential.
Catfish, have you tried Europa Barbarorum? Back when I played R:TW I found that it was a very nicely crafted mod.

Personally, I think it was the best of the Total War games. Just my opinion, though
