to be fair though didnt the total war series (shogun and Medieval:TW) already do that - and with a strategic TBS of more depth - i think the excitement over RON is based on the RTS aspect of the game.

Not that I care if you are trolling, but:
without something called, uh, thought or development is the definition of trolling. I'm sure you do think the game is lame, but if that's all you have to say, please move on. If you want to say something intelligent about the game's 'lameness,' however, we'll look forward to hearing from you.
Until then, a troll you shall remain.
Now here is the pot calling the kettle black! Just check the old CIV3 posts to see what I mean.
Anyway.......RON is fun. It does deserve to covered on apolyton because no where is it written that a "Civ style" game has to be TBS. It is much closer to Civ than AOK or EE, but it still lacks enough that it not as fun as CIV1/2/3.

Care to explain??
Now one can be for, neutral or against something, but what's important is thereasons why so. So o please do explain what you mean and what your opinion is and why?
(I'm still building my opinion, since have so many different gamemods untested.)
As I recall, Yin was quite vocal in his disdain of Civ3 upon its release.
Infograme: n: a message received and understood that produces certain anger, wrath, and scorn in its recipient. (Don't believe me? Look up 'info' and 'grame' at dictionary.com.)
Yeah, sure Yin was disappointed about Civ III, as were many others too.
But, that wasn't the point in my understanding.
What was asked is that one would motivate why one (dis)likes RoN.
Just saying it's lame isn't enough.
Played on weekend with 3 AI nations on huge map on Though level - boy I had to really work for my living. (Though castels are good early protection together with attrition research ) So I somehow seem to be playing RoN more than I originally thought, but still I dislike the haste one has all the time. (Goddam I gonna get kicked good - if I ever take a MP session )
Yep, Jeje has it right. If you think the game is lame, give some reasons. Otherwise it's trolling. Sure, I've had bits of trolling in my day, but it was usually part of a much larger smear campaign involving all kinds of hijinks. So I guess the moral here is:
If you insist on trolling, at least entertain us in the process!

Let us quit lying to ourselves and admit that true TBS players only like RON because of its turn-based CTW game, which was intentionally designed to be as little fun as possible ... like all other turn-based games.
ctw is composed of a series of rts sessions. you cant like ctw if you dont like the rts part
This is why AOK, AOM, and (shudder) StarCraft and WarCraft III are not on Apolyton: nothing like CTW in them and they are too much fun to play. Can't have that! Spoils the digestion.
first of all we dont cover a game just because it's out there. we do it firstly because we have the time/resources to do it in some proper way. then we do it cause we like the game or we think we'll like the game. you could say that we took our chances covering ron before even seeing it. ron is the first rts i can play for hours, so afaik we won the bet
