Your favourite "Total War" game

[Typhoid]

This thread probably won't take off because I think only me and Strangie play these games as far as I know - but still.

Anyways, lately I've been playing Medieval II a lot. And I mean a lot. I'm a little let down at the seeming lack of unique units that are in the game - while there are a lot, there should be more, in my opinion. I do enjoy the fact that you can expand to "the new world" near the end of the game, despite the fact by that point you've either already won the victory conditions, or going there serves little to no actual purpose.

I am still a large fan of Rome:TW, but after playing Medieval II for so long, Rome just looks like poop from the rectum of Medieval.

I really want to play Empire: Total War (Though I don't know if my computer can really handle it) because I've read some good things about it.
