Medieval II Total War

Domain Name Com's - : Medieval II Total War

- Superb Gameplay
I played the first Medieval Total War for years and never tired of it, so I was a little apprehensive when buying this for fear of being disappointed, but I was pleasantly surprised. The graphics are better, the AI is smarter, and the game is more detailed and intricate. The most significant improvement, though, is that the game has much more personality and it makes the experience that much more rewarding.

The tutorial is helpful and I recommend leaving on the advisor the first few times through the game. Also keep in mind that you need to "win" a game as one of 5 European factions to unlock the rest of the factions. I recommend playing a "short" game if you want to quickly unlock the other factions, otherwise it may take weeks to win a "long" game.

Overall, I am very happy with the game and I highly recommend it for anyone that enjoys PC strategy games.

- Outstanding
Had given up on this genre years ago due to poor/unrealistic gameplay. Got this because it happened to be on special for 1/2 price that day and thought I'd give it a try for something different as I am a bit of a European Mediaeval history buff. Since that time (and I kid you not) I have derived 60+ solid hours of pleasure out of the product, and only completed 2 campaigns and a few "historical" battles) - so it has a lot more shelf life to offer (cheap thrills on an hourly basis!)

Good things - graphics are simply superb, the battles are not easy and different unit's strengths and weaknesses have to be borne in mind constantly to win, allies are often untrustworthy (just like real ones), it takes a long time to build things in your cities/castles (just like it used to), and various environmental forces (including heretics, storms, and the season) have various effects on your settlements. Absolutely engrossing gameplay that will have you hitting the end turn icon and hanging around "just one more turn honey" to see what happens over and over.

Things I wish were different (bearing in mind I gave it 5 stars) - Armies move much too slowly sometimes (it didn't take 2 years to sail from England to Italy for example), Princesses are often worthless - if they're not "charming" you can't marry them off, and they can't negotiate well as diplomats, and there's nothing you can do about it (like send them to charm school), sometimes in battle the troops get in each other's way and don't go where you tell them, being excommunicated has always had little effect - almost to the point where it is irrelevant, and finally I wish it had some way of showing me units in the field that I have forgotten to move (life gets complicated when you own all of Europe and much of North Africa)

Stuff that was driving me nuts that got fixed in the 1.1 patch - inquistors have much less power to kill your generals, when attacking cities with two armies and one is under AI it doesn't just sit there passively anymore, as well as a bunch of minor things.

On my old machine (P4 HT 3.4, 2gb PC4200RAM, SATA1, nVidia 6800 256mb) everything worked fine except the individual battles took some time to load (not outrageous, but not fast either) and grpahics were fine except on a couple of occasions where I had 2000 or more troops on the screen all doing their own thing - frame rate got bogged down.

On my new machine (PD945 3.4 Dual Core 2gb PC6400RAM, SATAII, nVidia 8800 GTS 640mb) load times are MUCH faster and I have had no frame rate slowing.

Buy this game if you have a decent machine and you don't mind getting really engrossed and "wasting" many hours of time taking over the world and wreaking havoc on those who attack you. Along the way, if you read all the detail text on the various buildings (armouries, alchemist labs, abbeys, docks/wharves etc.) you'll actually learn quite a bit about the period 1080-1520: they've done a good job of historical accuracy IMHO.

- Awesome
This game is great! I think Sega's purchase of The Total War company was a great idea and we'll have more awesome games with bigger budgets to come out in the future!!

- The game is o.k.
I bought this game for my birthday and i was really happy till
i played it. In the trailers you see awsome graphics ,but i say
unto you it is not that great when you play it on your own computer.
In my high performance computer, the game gets really slow when you play
battles.However,you can update your graphics ( i think). Other than graphics, gamplay is really cool. Sound..... in my perspective Rome's
music is way better than Mideival 2. If i was a new newcomer in the
series... I WOULD GET ROME TOTAL WAR INSTEAD because wasting 40$ is not
worth following the popes's command and his ambition.This game has a lot of good stuf too,but it would be 2 pages long. Over all this game is a
must have for a total war fan.

Space Cadet........... OUT!

- Online hastle
This game has some AI issues that others have mentioned, (the computers willingness to let itself be slaughtered by archers, not attacking ect) but the game is fun. Unfortunately the problem I have run into is attempting to play against others online. I created a gamespy account, but I still cannot log in, and the game gives no hint as to why. Standard BS for on line gaming. Single player is great until you learn the tricks on how to defeat the crappy AI. Oh yea, just be prepared for the ridiculous inquisitoners that run around and slaughter your generals for no rhyme or reason, only solution is to save the game often and build assassins for the sole purpose to kill them when they come in your lands. They kill your best generals with ease!
