started playing the game yesterday, and it freakin rocks!
much batter then shogun to my surprise :)
i saw several posts about it in the past and i have a question.
whateevr i do i cant seem to generate incom from trade.
i have a line of fleets from point A to point B, but the port income still shows 0, what am i doing wrong here?
btw anyone have Rome total war? if its anything like shogun and medieval, i am defintly getting it
:)
i think my AH flying time is going to get down in the next few weeks ;)
-
I bought it but couldn't get "into it".
RTW looks cool though, I may re-try.
-
if you played "shogun" you will find the game very simple.
if not, its a steep learning curve if you get in too it
-
Port income always shows 0, iirc. You need to build the trading post/merchant as well as a port. You also need lines of ships to friendly/neutral territory, you can't trade with factions you are at war with.

RTW pwns both Shogun and ME.

i have lines of ships to an ally... have trading post and a port, ally has trading post and a port too, how do i know if theres any trade?

Right click the mkerchant, it will tell you the income it's earning. If it's in the hundreds, it's trading with other regions.
You can also click the economy screen (pile of coins on the main panel) which lists the income of each province. If you click the province in question in the subsequent list, it should tell you the income from trading, broken down into local trade and trade with each other region.
2 other points that can prevent trade. First is I think you need more than the basic trading post, you need to upgrade it to at least a merchant for overseas trade iirc. (Going from memory here)
Second, you have to have the right sort of trade goods, for example if you have silk as a resource, you can't export it to another silk producing region.

RTW is everything that was cool about MTW made a thousand times better.
-
Anyone got M:TW they are willing to sell?
I got S:TW now I want medival..
-
Just started a new game in MTW as the Brits.
My ally the The Holy Roman Empireare shooting spitballs at the French men and they fall like ants!
We have them blue flag surrender's at our grasp!!!
Now my Catholic church'es are preparing for training for the Great Crusade of the Holy Land!!!
This game rules's with ale!!!
:)
Forgot a LOL.:cool:
-

Rome Total War is even cooler.

Hey Flyboy let's meet at the official RTW MTW STW forum's!:p
-
Flyboy, i loved MTW, RTW is even better! I only ever played MTW as the english heheh.:)
Currently playing RTW as the greeks. So far i've conquered most of the south coast of europe (kicked the romans out of italy:), the middle east and currently have my sights on N africa.
Think i'll play as carthage next, they have quite an interesting mix of troop types.
-
Rome total war is awesome.
Its like Civilisation III (only better) with battle screens.
I did the Roman campaign, am now the british. I have conquered the French (wasnt hard) and am now pressing against the germans and spanish.
-
Rome Total War is far better then MTW, especially with added "realism" mods. Turns it from an excellent strat title to the best ever.
With RTW and soon to be released Pacific Fighters, it's going to be hard to find time for anything else. Especially with being also commited to FS9 and VATSIM.

Lets just say that I wish I had played MTW and even STW.
Now does anyone have the full MTW with the expansion pack that they would like to get rid of?
BTW I will see you guys over at totalwar.com as Reschke there as well.
-
last time i saw it at the store MTW with the viking invasion pack was $30. im waiting for RTW to go down in price, then ill get it. besides MTW is still fun. i heard viking invasion was disapointing though. so i did not get that. the game that i want so so badly is;
http://www.dawnofwargame.com/homepage.php
OMG it has a demo, didnt notice that before cya
BTW flyboy, your fleet is not best used for trade. it is best used to move your armys far to bring the heathen infidels religion and death (not necessarly in that order).
-
I own dawn of war too..... very similar to warcraft. RTW is better though.
Just finished the game with the greeks. I was getting about 40k a turn and had over 1,200,000 gold!:eek:
Just started a new campaign as carthage and getting slaughtered. I'm down to 4 provinces with the Romans, numidians, gauls and spain constantly attacking me. Looks like this is going to be a longer campaign than as the greeks.
-
i just started playing, took the egyptians on "normal" hardness.
i must say its pretty easy.
think ill restart on the hardest level.
whats a fun faction to play?
allso is there a difference in the unit types if i select different era's? i started playing on the earliest.
-
Is their russians in M:TW?
-
Yes, there is.
BTW, if you can find it, get the Viking Invasion expansion for MTW, the Viking and early Britain campaigns rock.
-
I'll search E-bay..
But I got a sOlD oUt kinda CD and it was missing a feature in S:TW..
Where u can go to the councils and stuff, outside of the map...
