Who plays Rome online?

 I loved MTW online, those were the days

 I stopped playing because people are annoying, allies that never help you, people who drop out the second they start losing, hosts dropping out when youve just picked your army argh!

 Since ive never played online RTW can anybody tell me how it is different, whats been added if anything to make it more fun etc?

Hey, i play this aswell, i played RTW, but also have barbarian invasion so can start playing that aswell. We should make a All empires clan.. My fav civ is parthians and the egyptians.. also greek is good when you are challenging someone who is parthia or heavy horse civ,, coz you can make a special formation involving cretian archers and spartans,, basically you put the archers in the midle and form a box outside by the spartans.. MIND you i learnt this from another guy online and he tried doing it to me (a pro ) however i was parthians and what i did was to put all my horses into wedge formation, then find a place on the guys formation where there was little spearmen and concentrate my attack over there while in the meantime i had my archers towards the back of his formation killing his creten archers.,, he totally lost and was amazed at how eficicently i killed his army, even tho he claimed no1 ever beat him like that,.

 I can't really play the steppe factions, to much cavalry running around all over the place that its hard to control, also I like heavy infantry etc so i'm not really suited to them.

 I like the ERE followed by the WRE and then probably the Sassanids, after that the barbarian factions are just to similar or to boring for me.
