Yes and sorry to say, none of that was fixed in M2TW...

Splendid. Just splendid.

And Safe-Keeper check your PMs....

I hated two things about R:TW, though: The lack of proper naval battle and the horrible city path-finding, as well as your inability to lock gates as you could in the Age of Empires series. I hated ordering my troops too close to the gate only to watch them run through it and get slaughtered.

I'm assuming you turned the difficulty level up, Ty, but if not, try it.

Yea I have, they always do the same thing, with infantry they rush middle, cavalry attacks sides.... Depending on if they have Archers they sometimes just stop in fornt of you too... Or just plain out charge, never using complex manuevers or formations, and no microp management at all...

On easy the merely walk up to you and halt....

The game is jsut too easy, and on hte grand campaigne I have easily taken over pretty much all of europe in 70 moves... And I have a couple armies en route to holy land... I haven't picked back up on SP lately though since I was playing the SupCom beta.

Potentior - a 40 minutes long R:TW town siege movie!

AI is really easy to beat... I am hoping some mods come out soon.

Why has nobody made a lord of the rings mod for it yet?

I don't know probably cos RTW is like BF2 and M2TW is like BF21. Same engine just some graphic updates and small gameplay changes. RTW got LOTR mod.

Except that you can't play as the Papal States or the Timurids...

Hey other games got mod community too. You should know that!

I also like the balance between Muslim and Christian world weapons.
At least if you believe this picture.
