Medieval II: Total War

Published by Sega
Developed by Creative Assembly

Genre Strategy

Description :

This game takes place during the Middle Ages starting in the year 1080. There are 17 different cultures in the known world. Your goal is to bring the culture of your choice to world domination in the course of 500 years - through the High Middle Ages through the Late Middle Ages until the Renaissance, complete with the exploration of America.

Like Rome: Total War you manage your cities and move around your units on a world map in a turn-based mode to conquer new cities or defeat enemies threatening your land. You always need to watch after your people to avoid them get angry with you and start a revolution. You also need to fulfill goals set by your religious leader like going on a crusade for the Pope.

When a battle starts and you do not want the CPU to calculate the ending, the game switches to a full 3D battlefield where you command your units as squads in real-time. There you need to use tactics like sending the cavalry into the nearby woods for a surprise attack at the enemies' flanks and make use of the overall terrain like high grounds, which are good for bowman to overcome the enemy. You also have to conquer enemy castles or successfully defend yours.
