Thanks alan, I started a campaign as the Julii (going well so far) so I'll probably be pestering you with more questions soon enough.

Worst kept secret ever.

How do you get your archers to use fire arrows in this? The guy in the prolouge said you could but the stupid git didn't tell me how to.

Rome: Total War. \o/

I never though I'd see the words Canadian, soccer, and powerhouse in the same sentence. Then again I never though I'd see the day that West Ham signed Tevez and Mascherano so... All this football talk is making me miserable and bitter now. Damn you Alex Ferguson. Damn you to hell. *Loads shotgun*

Exactly, you should just ditch Fifa. It wastes valuble taking over the world time.

Go with Rome, we all know Fifa's crap and PES is the true king of football games anyway.

First some crap town in the prologue, next, the world. Muahahahahaha.

Thanks for the help guys, problem solved, the everything works perfectly now. Thanks again.

OK, yesterday I got Rome: Total War installed it, everything was going well but when I started the game up properly all of the screens were magnified and loked like the resolution had been set to 640*480. When I went to change the resolution however, it was set at 1024*768. I took a screenshot but when I pasted it into paint it looked normal. I've installed all patches, reinstalled and all that jazz but it stays the same. I figured it might be my drivers so I went to try and roll them back and I got a message saying "No driver files have been backed up for this device". I'm using an Nvidia FX 5500 with the latest drivers and want to know if there is any where I can get the old drivers from to see if that fixes my problem.

Yas! It's arrived. \o/ Installing now. EDIT: Ok, it's installed and completely screwed, the screen is massive, on the main menu I can only see the first two letters of the word Rome and the options are moved all the way to the right so I can't see them properly. Everything is magnified by quite a lot. I tried changing the resolution, to no avail and when I take a print screen of it and paste in paint everything is normal. Can anyone tell me wtf is going on. EDIT 2: Xard, R:TW arrived, look a few posts back and you'll see that I ordered it on Saturday.

\o/ Must buy. (w00t)

Ooooooh, so close to just meeting the minimum requirements. Stupid need for a mouse.

You forgot the most important question of all Hades. Can you jump in it?

Skeeters Junkyard ftw.

Thanks for the tips. Now I just have to wait for it to arrive. Stupid bank holidays.

The waiting game. \o/

This thread piqued my intereset in R:TW and after reading a couple of reviews I've decided to take the plunge and order it. The thing is, I've never played a strategy game before. So I was wondering if anyone could give me some general advice before I start the game so I wont be completely lost.
