I already PM'd you about it O.o I wanted a TV for my PS3 instead, so we bought a $200 Sanyo, and since my dad didn't like Vista, he traded computers with me. So far I'm fine with Vista, but it's actually feels slower than my last computer O.o It's ok though, since I don't have much time to play a time consuming game like Total War. I'll rather play quick, less strategic games on the consoles for 30 mins-1 hour, than try to play a game I used to pull all nighters for O.o
I'm playing as Carthage right now on M/M. I don't like the difficult levels for battles since it doesn't change the AI whatsoever, but only gives stat boosts to them. I'm thinking of playing VH/M next campaign. So far as Carthage, I've established naval supremacy, and I'm colonizing the entire Iberian peninsula while I'm fighting a bitter ground battle with the Romans. It kinda sucks because the infantry isn't in Carthage's favor and so auto resolving siege battles are out, and playing manually isn't to my advantage.
I'm almost able to recruit Poeni infantry which are Phalanx troops, so that'll give me a nice reformed army capable of standing toe to toe with the Romans inantry wise, while I also have superior calvary. I'll also soon be able to get some Sacred Bands in a couple turns, and that'll give me a nice elite troop.
I'm planning on maybe fighting a longer war just for the hell of it, and conquer Iberia and like Hannibal, march my troops through Gaul and take on the Julii from the North and pincer the Italian Peninsula, leaving Rome just for last for a dramatic finale =D
Then I'll go on to conquer Gaul from Iberia, and Greece from Italy and Carthage. I'll save Egypt for last so I can fight against a fellow super power.
