Shogun was ok. It didn't hook me on to the series. Medieval was the
one I really started playing. But it had an annoying interface, and
various other issues, not to mention bad graphics.
And the pop up dialogs! My god! You had to click OK on each
information dialog it gave you every turn. In late game stages, there
used to be 20 dialogs I had to click through before I could begin my
next turn.
Rome TW changes all that and gives you a wonderful interface, not to
mention amazing graphics.
And contrary to what Iakovos says, after you play RTW a few times, you
know exactly what unit is best for what job and what the strengths of
each and every unit are. I've become so good at it that I can tell by
the name of the unit how it will do, but the stats of each unit give a
very good overall picture too.
And I agree, Medieval had too many units.
After you start playing RTW, you can even think about the expansion
pack, Barbarian Invasion. To tell you the truth, this one changes
quite a few gameplay mechanics and I'm not sure I really like it. But
its good and I do enjoy playing it.

Yeah, the one you refer to was Pyrotechnics. I still remember the name
because I remember that at that time I thought how the name of the
mission matched the name of the developer (Pyro).
I had fun with that mission. Although it took a few tries...
