I recently got into Rome: Total War (and Barbarian Invasion). I think these games are spectacular, and very challenging. I also just started playing Medieval II: TW, playing with the Republica Serenisima Venicia (
) and things have been going smoothly. Apparently I finally found a faction that suites my style! (my general style in strategy games is very "swiss" - remaining neutral, small and enterprising while I watch it all fall apart, and then sweep in for the kill...)
In Rome: TW, I usually picked the Brutii and attempted to capture most of Sicily before the Scipii AI takes it (as it generally does within the first few terms). From there I establish a trade empire and thrive on bribery mostly, with just enough military to protect the towns that I bought
In Barbarian Invasion, I tried playing using all the factions, but I think I simply cannot play this game without mastering Rome: TW first. This game is brutal! It seems that I am most comfortable using the Sarmatians and ultra-diplomacy instead of military action.
Although I love those games, I also suck at them... haha. I actually only won a campaign once. It seems I keep starting over and over...
