Rise of the Witch King

Good read bro.

+1 , id been playing rotwk online before bfme 2 and id say rotwk is more fun and more skill

Well done Exca.

I spotted a few errors in language but that's totally acceptable since you probably had no help.

I agree on the point that most of the resentment for RotWK arose from the fact that when it was launched the balance was just too terrible to even comprehend. That scared players away including myself.

Actually trying to get a hold of this game at the moment so I can criticize Forlongs patch etc

Love you Prolong

Yeah it was pretty shit

i didn't have a chance to play bfme2, got them both the same day rotwk was released. finally played bfme2 about 2 years of rotwk.. disliked the gameplay so just stayed with rotwk

Cam, the gameplay is the same on bfme2 and rotwk it`s not the gameplay that makes the difference between 2 Excalibur says it in his blog and in my opinion he is right.
I have started to play bfme2 when it was released and moved to rotwk because rotwk offers more than bfme2 and cw was so damn active when rotwk was released. I miss so much those times.
Excalibur well done and well said about gameplay and all the stuff. Agreed with you.

good read.

Only thing I miss about BfME2 is the Nazguls

Good read,I'm in the opposite situation Exca.I've Played bfme2 online and Rotwk just offline.
From my "bfme2 point of view" I don't hate Rotwk.I just don't really like Angmar,for the reasons you also stated before.
I think gamestyle is the same,micro-macro also.
I personally played vs some of the guys from rotwk(bfme2 cw) and they were very good in terms of skills and sportsmanship.

well done mate

Ye RotWK is all about sportsmanship

Well every game and every community got his "hot heads",so far I've been lucky with rotwk players

I think I've played BFME2 with some bfme2 cw guys, only a few games though. Had fun and all, but rotwk was my scene (cause I knew everyone in rotwk I guess).

They is a difference, the game play is slower.. IMO. it is not the same becasue the game engine would be based on the exact same model just with the addition of angmar. Units take an extra second to leave the rax, the play is slow and i dislike it.

Ye the intensity of RotWK has always been the best aspect of the game.

Thanks guys!

good blog as always exca

I believe that powerpoint acquisition is actually faster in BFME2. RotWK is also less heavy handed on early game archers(seems late game is where archers are more pronounced) and more about sword/pike/cav aggression, which gives the impression of faster gameplay. At least, this is what I've gathered after watching replays and playing a bit.

Rotwk also appears faster because creeping is around 1/3rd as effective as in BT2DC.
