QUOTE(fujkenasai @ Nov 14 2008, 12:40 PM) I just cant wait to play the empire with biggest naval power and land mass across the planet in human history, but I guess keeping them in check and not giving them independence is another matter. Maybe I should keep the tax low and keep everyone happy while I invade the world. RTW was a cheat arrows and ammunition never runs out. The British and the Spaniards got their ass kicked by the Dutch numerous times, one of the smallest countries in the world. The first faction I'm going to play with are the Dutch. Ever heard about the Spanish Treasure Fleet and Piet Hein or how Michiel de Ruyter whiped out most of the British fleet on the Thames?  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piet_Pieterszoon_Heinhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raid_on_the_Medway |

QUOTE(Aoshi_88 @ Nov 17 2008, 04:35 PM) First i'm going to play the Vietnamese because they kicked French ass in Dien Bien Phu-..... oh wait... that was in 1954. Wrong century. That will be an option in the next of the TOTAL WAR series  Then I definitly will not play with the dutch, it took the Germans 3 days to occupy the Netherlands but then again the dutch didn't had a choice, the city of Rotterdam was bombarded to the ground (a lot of civilian casualties) and the Nazis threatened to do the same with other major cites (eg Amsterdam) in the Netherlands. I probably would go for the Partizans |

QUOTE(Dark Steno @ Nov 19 2008, 02:34 AM) The means of 'one of the smallest countries in the world' is for current time. Back then, they're colonizing south east asia, africa and also south america. Yes, correct. In 1641 the dutch assaulted and wrestled Melakka from the Portugese with the help from the Johor Sultanate. And they stayed there for 183 years. In the 17th Century the Dutch East Indian Company (VoC) was the largest trading company in the world. The dutch were also responsible for most of the slave trade in those days. At one point in time the dutch traded New Amsterdam (now better known as New York) with the English for Suriname (South America), if it wasn't for that, there was a good chance that Dutch would have been one of the main languages in the world  |

QUOTE(Dark Steno @ Nov 19 2008, 08:57 PM) Guess what? I'd an idea for something like nusantara total war. There were lots of kingdoms like malacca, johor-riau, sriwijaya, mataram, demak, aceh, khmer, thai, vietnam, brunei, sulu, moluccas, etc. and each have their own religions (islam, buddhism, hinduism, pagans) plus uniqueness (like archery was from chinese technology so malay kingdoms didn't really have them). just consider portuguese as mongols and dutch as timurids in m2tw and both brought christianity (catholics). While British brought Protestanism. This is just my personal idea for making project to develop local games as well as ideas for my master degree. tho i have more other different ideas. I like the idea, a lot! I would like to see the Yogyakarta faction. Led by Diponegoro |

I'm not sure if I should buy ETW this month or next month because I was actually thinking of buying 200+RM worth of EA games for TSB's March promotion ( I haven't got a clue which EA games because I don't think there any E&A games which I don't already have, maybe I should buy Mirror's Edge for my GF and pre-order RA3 expansion). But on the other hand I want the special forces edition, which is most likely sold out next month  Or should just I buy 200+RM worth of EA games AND ETW special forces? That's almost 500 RM of games and I just bought DOW2  This post has been edited by yo el rey: Mar 6 2009, 10:24 AM |
