Steam weekend deal: Empire Total war (6-19-09)

Get empire total war for 50% off, which makes me feel like a huge tosser for having bought it last month, but if you want it, and don't have it, now would be a good time to buy.

This is an RTS, isn't it? I have a love/hate with these types of games.

The last one I played (can't remember the name) felt a little routine-y; gather resources, build units, houses, fortresses, etc...fight enemies, gather more resources. It just got kinda repetitious after a while...

I believe it is actually a turn-based game, somewhat similar to Civilization. I will know for sure later today when the demo finishes downloading.

I've heard only good things about it, but I'm saving up for an iPod touch, so it's a no go for me. But maybe my friend will get it and i'll check it out.

Its a turned bases RTS

Looks very, very good, but I'm just not a big fan of the colonial period RTS's

I almost wish I hadn't bought it when it came out now...could have saved money.

Anyways what I actually mean to say is there are several eGO members with this game that like to play it on multiplayer. Look us up if you get it and want to play!

Yeah, I own the game it's pretty awesome. Minus the fact i've never won a online-match 1v1

Campaign play is turn based strategy (like the civilization series), and battles are RTS in an irregular sense. Basically, you make the units on the campaign map and then you lead them around turn by turn, and when you go to fight, it's just the two armies face to face in real time.

I'm downloading it as we speak, as I've heard only good things

I played RTS for over 4 years and stopped at M2TW because its the same thing over and over. Also Gamespy, which is the server providers, is so bad.

You should play against me sometime. I've played against broccoli 3 or 4 times and he steam rolls me every time. I too am winless in the ground game.

The sea, however, is an entirely different story. The short version? The sea is mine.
