The more assassins the merrier it gets.

R:TR is the best version by a mile. i wouldnt play anything else.

o yes R:TR is waaaaaaay better than the vanilla version, have you tried the Chivalry Mod?
currently pwning the middle east and corssing over into the west conquering the Byzantines, using the Cilician-Armenians

i gotta get dis game. PLZ TELL ME THAT T3H A.I. IS SMARTER!!!! sometimes it just gets annoying at how dumb the AI can be on Rome, even in some of the mods. for instance just today, after i had conquerd the Seljuks. I was betrayed by my long time allies, the Byzantines, believe they didn't come in force....actually quite pathetic what they tried to take my cities w/ small three unit armies or suky troops, plus they where already fighting on two other fronts! then years later, while i'm rly startin to take it to the Byzantines, the 'tarded Fatmids attack me! and with waht!? a fully stacked army sonsisting of.....city militia....wtf....that wasn't a fight..that was a fuggin slaughter. then they sue for peace....then they attack me again...loose and sue for peace.

Sorry, it's not.

On the campaign map, your allies will attack you if you have a strong border with them. They still attack your fully stacked cities with a very small army... using the bandwagon tactic.
On the tactical map, units remain motionless while you fire arrows and big rocks at them.

But it's a pretty game.

This one seems alot slower then Rome. The action seems slower and I think theres to many extra characters roaming around on the maps. And after a few battles I no longer fight them myself. I just let the computer do them for me. Battles are alot more costly now. No more sending an equal number of forces at one another and having a complete massacre.

That's an bellybutton wooping right there. Like Saintaw said, the AI is a bit dumb. When they attack my forteress, the first turn I attack them. I get a unit of town militia "500y" ahead of my gate. All the eni archers are going to waste their arrows on the unit.

While the AI does that, I put my 2 catapult units just ahead of the gate, and aim for the center row of grunts. When the catapult is too short, I hit the archers, when it's right on I kill many grunts, when it's too long, I kill the mounted general bodyguards ... including the general.

When the balistas are out of ammo, I do the same with my 3 units of archers, to soften the grunt units. The enemy archers are out of ammo by that time.

Lastly, I get my grunts/cavalery out. I put the grunts for a HO attack, bring my cavalery all the way around for a back attack, and a grunt unit on the flank.

The AI just looks at me. I order all the unit to attack at once, the eni often freack out and run.

The think with France, is you have borders with many countries, plus it's a crossroad for anywhere you want to go. I'm #1 in every cathegory in 1180, with a 40 year old French pope. I just conquered Genola/Milan as those Milaneese attacked me. I didn't even conquered Caen from thr Brits.

Dono what I did, but Spain, Brits, Venitia broke their alliances with me and attacked me in two turns. The Germans and the Moores have military units on my territory, without my permission, but I cannot attack them as they the teutons are neutral, and moores allied.

I guess the stronger you are, the more the AI gangbangs you. I'll sack Milan/Genola, and flatten the Brits, at least I'll have a part of land in a corner of the map with no neighbors. Hopping that my own pope is not going to ask me to let go, like he did with the Milaneeses.

Just bought it and a DVD drive today. Installing it now for a couple of hours of gameplay before I head off to Vancouver for a business trip. My work laptop won't run RTW so I know it won't touch this one.
