Get M2TW. Before i got it i still loved Rome but the gameplay is much more advanced in Medieval and it has the awesome period that stretches between the entirely Hand-to-Hand era and ends in blasting each other with Guns and Cannons but none the less still a lot of Melee involvement. Also things like Religion and Diplomacy are much more important. It is no longer so similar to a sequence of clunking another faction on the head. Also unlike on RTW instead of all factions claiming you are a liar instantly, the factions on M2 only call you so if you are one. If you do as you say you will you develop a reliable reputation and threats are often adhered to. I have scared many smaller nations into giving me cities with just the threat of Invasion. Of course each of these can be taken either way, some people may say the simplicity of RTW was better, i still like RTW but now i have M2 i never play. I would also like to get ETW but there is no way my comp would run it.
