I know I avoided it based on the initial release and also the shit storm that was brewing just prior to that - I’m honestly amazed they’ve turned it round

Same but I am tempted to give it a shot as I find the period fascinating.

Well it is currently on sale...  :biggrin:

Why you be like that....

...he has to be.  Otherwise he wouldn't be Martok :)

He should at least do us the favor of starting some sort of hedge fund or investment offering where we can pay for all the games he recommends out of the interest he makes for us ...

Ha, I wish!  Then I might actually be able to afford all the games I want to get, never mind the ones I end up hyping/recommending to the rest of you.  :P 





Martok you still know me too well. IIRC the word on the TW street is either WWI or M3. Undies-laundering for me for sure. I basically exercise and try to eat right so I can survive long enough to play either.

You should get a job with CA marketing. You're making me more interested in Pharaoh. 'Geek and I will send you our receipts.

Personally, Medieval 3 and Empire 2 remain my biggest wishes for the next historical Total War, though I suspect it will be long before we see either (despite continued clamor from the fanbase for both).  I wonder sometimes whether CA is keeping those in their proverbial back pocket for when they really need a big "win", and/or have no other time period/region they want to explore. 

And you're welcome; happy to torment.  I shouldn't suffer alone, after all.  :crazy2:
