    FEATURES

    Medieval II: Total War is the fourth instalment in the Total War franchise following the million unit selling Rome: Total War.

    An epic 450 year campaign challenges you to seize control of the medieval world. Fight across Europe, The Middle East and, for the first time ever in Total War, discover the New World and the fearsome Aztecs.

    A redesigned graphics engine displays Total War’s signature 10,000 man battles in unparalleled detail, making Medieval II: Total War the most glorious looking RTS game of all time. Varied terrain and individual faces, armour and combat animations make battles more visceral than ever before.

    However you must also build and manage your kingdom, balancing the needs of your economy, military and population happiness.

    Experience religious fervour as you contend with the whims of the Papacy and the feared Inquisitors eager to quash heresy. Send your men to fight in The Crusades or wage Jihad as one of the great Muslim nations.

    Medieval II: Total War is the greatest Total War game to date and sure to seize a position as one of the greatest PC RTS games ever made.

    • A grand campaign spanning 1080 – 1530 and based within Europe, The Middle East and South America.
    • 21 factions and 250 new units.
    • Religious fervour. Play as a Christian nation and choose to obey or defy the pope. Play as a Muslim faction and wage Jihad upon the infidels.
    • Deeper diplomatic gameplay. Establish trade routes, send spies to enemy territory, marry daughters to ensnare rival generals or assassinate the Pope to place your cardinals within the Vatican.
    • Outstanding, genre leading graphics. Vastly improved multiplayer making online faster to setup and enjoy.

    This is probably the finest Total War game that has so far been released. The historical accuracy is, as usual, leaning on the cinematic side of realism but that is forgivable in light of the overall experience of hacking and slashing your way across Europe. Also, this is the only Total War game with a decent expansion list! The Americas is particularly fun.

    Absolutely terrific game. Sublime graphics and good performance, terrific and immersion macro campaign coupled with unmatched real-time tactical battles. Gold Edition is a must-have because Kingdoms gives you not only four new campaigns (previous reviewer didn't mention Americas campaign) but also access to many mods that require it in addition to the original--including developer-produced Retrofit, which is like a final patch for the original game incorporating Kingdoms features into the original game. Throw in the incredible Third Age: Total War Lord of the Rings Mod (basically a complete game in and of itself, new intro and everything) and you've got a semester's worth of classes to miss because you played until 4 AM ;)

    M2TW Gold edition is truly a must. Of course its view of european medieval history is a bit farcesque for those who have even a moderate knowledge of what the Middle Ages really meant - if you want the real thing, check Crusaders Kings, Deus Vult. However, for the pleasure of deploying the banners, timing the knight charges or watching the bowyers send their arrows to cruelly break the aforementioned impetus, it is still an unparalleled achievement. The campaigns of the addon (Britannia, Crusades, teutonic) are pretty tough. Plus if that is not enough, you may download a bunch of great mods (like Deus lo Vult from Total War Center) that will perfectly fit on this installment.
