Go get the gold edition... totalrealism.net (They changed the domain name).

7.0 should be out in... 2 weeks

I'm considering starting up R:TW again, but having to face the swarm of little bugs is putting me off it. Do you know whether the Total Realism mod addresses them?

By swarm of little bugs, I mean silly things like Sea Admirals not gaining experience properly, etc. I remember there being a bunch of problems I had to manually fix by turning them on in some huge text file.

I haven't had any major problems with RTR:Gold Edition and have been playing it since it came out... check out the forums over there and ask them, though, as I'm not really into the techincal things regarding the game.

Good fun, nonetheless, and definately better than the vanilla version.

I loved playing as the Macedonians! One thing I absolutely hated was how your leaders would acquire dozens of negative traits just because you were doing well. I don't mind a few leaders here and there, but I found it excessive, and it made me think "man, this family is full of *******es. I hope I lose".

There are a few write-ups over on those forums describing how to avoid certain negative traits. Spending too much time in a city, or having too much money in the bank are big no nos.

Rome Total War (total realism) - great game

Medievil Total War II - even better game.(IMHO anyway, I just enjoy the medievil era stuff more than Rome)

Silent Hunter 3 - very challenging game with everything turned on.

X3 Reunion - Awesome space empire builder, shooter, logistics sim.

Armed Assault - next gen of Operation Flashpoint, outstanding game, especially Co-op with good mates. (anyone who owns it, try Evolution Coop.....best mission ever)
Anyone who doesnt own it, search google video for Armed Assault or ArmA to see what you are missing out on.

Total Annihilation - TAUCP Pack
Medal of Honor - Pacific
HL2
Lux
Sudden Strike 2

But I'm looking for a decent (and recent) space sim, with all the bells and whistles like X3

AHII
Silent Hunter IV
Medieval Total War II
MS FSX (with A-26 Invader add-ons)
Waiting for Pirates of the Burning Seas.

Got tired of aimbots and hacks in the BF2 and 2142 games as well as "rigged" servers (server team slanted).
Got tired of Fantasy setting MMOGs. Just burned out on them.
Got tired of Auto Assault.... too many MMOGs are just endless treadmill grind machines.
Got away from scripted games.... play level X repeatedly until you figure a way around all the game's AI to move to the next level. I prefer more open play when possible.

The whole PC game market seems to be about eye candy, treadmill leveling machines, twitch shooters, and catering to lowest common denominator of instant gratification and "buy the game - follow the game guide/cheat codes/FAQ walk-throughs". It's getting pretty discouraging finding a game that can be really entertaining.

And that's exactly why I want to setup a legacy machine to play the older games I haven't played in years.

10 Years ago what do you think the game aficionado's were saying about the games of their day?

DiabloTX · « **Reply #44 on:** April 25, 2007, 02:18:35 AM »

We were saying, "Holy****!!! These games f***in' rock!!!!"

Jane's, Silent Service, X-Com, Diablo, Unreal...man, the memories.
