What do Total War fans think about MoW?

I have played all total war games and for me only one stands out that being Rome. Its a fantastic multiplay game but does feel a little dated now at the side of MOW.

I have tried but do not like NTW but will be trying Shogun on its release. Most people are crying out for Rome 2 but if they use the same format as empire etc it won't work.

Rome I would reccomend its a fantastic game and very deep, gamespy issues are a problem even more so than mow.

The biggest problem for me is in RTW it is right click to move in MOW its left click, simple issue but gets me in all sorts of problems in rtw .

Looking forward to assault squad more than Shogun but would be up there in the queue for rome2.

If you liked RTW and like MoW you will like MoW better in most cases.

What Men of War has that Rome Total War doesn't have is the units. Men of War units are like muscle cars, you can customize their inventory. Total War is bigger, your like the general of a entire country and command a force of thousands. In Men of War you control a few platoons broken down into squads at max. The general theme of both games is the same, Real Time Strategy.

i love both games but both have a very different feel in mow you can stall an entire army for a whil with 1 squad but if a regiment in empire tries to stop an army they will most likely die

i play rtw multiplayer. it still is alive, kind of like the Cossacks multiplayer.

In Empire TW, I remember one art: a column of British soldiers marching along a road in the forest and Indians hiding in the bushes on both sides of the road. Sort of The Last of Mohicans scene. I loved the art but it made me realise that unfortunately there are limits to how I can plan my ambushes in TW games. In MoW, on the other hand, I am enjoying the huge freedom of what I can do on the battlefield.

British soldiers are funny. They used to rush artillery posistions horse back and get themselves killed.
