1. Medieval Total War 2 Mods

Contents.Gameplay Similarly to previous titles in the Total War series, Medieval II: Total War consists of two main modes of play: a campaign mode and battles.Campaign The campaign, which is, allows the player to play as one of seventeen factions from the time period and build their nation economically and militarily in order to conquer other factions. Gameplay consists of controlling the faction's military, economic, and social systems in large campaign maps.

During the player's turn, armies, fleets, and agents can be moved on the map. When an army engages another army, the player can choose to fight the battle personally in the battle mode, or automatically calculate the outcome.The goal of the campaign depends on which type of campaign is played. The short campaign requires the player to defeat one or two enemy factions and control at least 15 settlements. The long campaign requires the player to control at least 45 territories and one or two significant cities, such as, or.Territorial control in the campaign is represented by 'settlements', which are large, notable communities. Unlike in previous Total War games, there are two different types of settlements:. Cities primarily focus on buildings that boost one's economy, while castles primarily focus on buildings that allow for the recruitment of more advanced types of soldiers. Certain buildings in settlements can also allow the player to recruit agents that fulfill certain functions, like.

Under most circumstances, the settlements can be converted from one type to the other. Settlements can be governed by members of the player's family, who are also capable of leading armies as. The talents of family members (and other key characters) are affected by various statistics, like 'Piety' and 'Loyalty', which are in turn impacted by their character traits, personal experiences, and members of their personal retinue. For example, a character with a high 'Command' stat can be expected to do better in battle than a character with a low stat.in the game is divided into three primary faiths:,. Unorganized faiths and sects are also represented. If a large portion of a settlement does not adhere to the, unrest may ensue.

And religious buildings can be used to gradually convert members of other faiths to the state religion. Catholic nations must deal with the, who can send special missions to Catholic rulers. Failure to obey the Pope may result in. The Pope may also call against hostile settlements.

Muslim with a high 'Piety' stat may similarly declare.Factions primarily interact with each other through. Diplomatic actions include the creation of, the securing of, and the giving or receiving of. Factions may go to war with one another to secure more settlements or other concessions. Factions that are at war can use their armies to fight each other, which incorporates the battle mechanic of the game into the campaign. Several factions in the campaign are either not present or 'dormant' when the game begins. The will invade at some point after the campaign has begun, often posing a serious threat to factions in their path.

Later on, the will also invade, bringing with them. Late in the game, factions may also sail to the, where they can encounter the. A group of English knights attacking French dismounted feudal knights.One of the main focuses on the Total War franchise is its representation of in addition to the turn-based campaign. A battle consists of two or more armies from different factions fighting each other. Battles play similarly to those in, with formations of various kinds of troops engaging in combat.

The objective of the battle is to defeat the enemy army by completely destroying it or causing the whole army to flee; in a battle, the objective is to completely destroy the army or to take control of a plaza in the centre of the settlement. There is also an option which allows the player to allow for time limits on battles, meaning that the attacker must defeat the defender within a certain time limit or the battle results in a victory for the defender. Battles can exist as custom battles set up by the player, multiplayer battles between humans, historical battles based on real-life military engagements, or battles that occur between factions in the campaign.

The vast variety of what players can do makes this game almost second to none in its genre. The only thing I would take a mark off this for is that siege battles are often a complete nightmare, with regiments often disobeying orders or, even more irritating, half a regiment remaining on one side of a wall while the other stays on top, refusing to do anything while you furiously try and redirect it. This really frustrated me, but apart from that, the campaign is an excellent experience and the in-battle gameplay is astounding. Based on this, It well deserves a 9/10.

A game that will make you feel like conquering the world. Out of all the total war games this is a personal favorite. Updated graphics bring units to life on the battlefield. Finally the player is able to recruit new units and buildings without a general present in the settlement.

Ai is amazing for the most part on the battlefield however total war games have allways had issues with the Diplomacy option. This game is no different. You may get rejected for no conceivable reason when trying to be diplomatic toward another nation. This is one of my small gripes and nothing really serious is wrong with the game.

I have played Rome: total war, and now this awesome game, medieval 2. I think that a lot of people are missing that this isn't a second Rome, its a second medieval and its not the same. The cavalry charge in this game isent weak like most people say its 10 times stronger. You can kill a hole group of heavy swordsmen with a blink of an eye if you do it right.

The cavalry charge in this game isent weak like most people say its 10 times stronger. You can kill a hole group of heavy swordsmen with a blink of an eye if you do it right. But you have to expect that its really hard to master the cavalry and yes, they are very bugged when running after routing units, but if you try and put up the game speed you will see that they kill them eventually (but they may do reaaaaaally wierd things). All the grafics are great and all the infantry works fine so except from the cavalry this game is awesome. I've always wanted a nice medieval game, one that puts you in the settings of the era. Medieval 2 did this very nicely, not only was i suprised at the depth of the game, but i was completely blown away by the sound and graphics.

If you zoom close to the battle, you will see how it feels to see the sky full of flamming arrows, you will hear them zipping past your ears, and the screams I've always wanted a nice medieval game, one that puts you in the settings of the era.

If you zoom close to the battle, you will see how it feels to see the sky full of flamming arrows, you will hear them zipping past your ears, and the screams from your co next to you as they burn in fire from the arrows. You will hear the knights charge from a distance, the pace from the horses picks up and the sound they make thunders from the distance. Sound and Graphics really wins the day, although AI can be a bit buggy, but the quality of the sound + Graphics earns every point from me.

The Vanilla game itself is ok, but AI is bad. What gives this game the edge is the community. There are literally loads of mods that you can download, and each of these is truly massive!

Now I know what you're probably thinking; 'why an eight then?'

First of all, the gameplay offers a massive choice of nations and units each with their own traits, but accessing all of these factions can be a slog at times. The mix of battles, diplomacy, family traits and strategy AI create a truly realistic and immersive game that offers an infinate number of choices to your next move. However, sometimes the game can become a bit taxing to less motivated players (not that I'm complaining) and the AI during battles can often glitch. Whilst these glitches are mostly minor, they nevertheless break your immerson in the game and can be quite annoying when your soldiers glitch about instead of doing as they're told. Nevertheless, despite all its weaknesses, Med 2 is still a briliantly crafted game, its strategy mixed in with impressive graphics and cinematic music will keep you wound up in the Medieval age for hours. A good mix of turn-based and real-time strategy, although the turn-based elements often feel oversimplified.

It does have a solid real time combat foundation, but the AI is either really good or really bad depending on the difficulty setting-there is no middle ground.

If you are new to real time strategy games, this one has a pretty steep learning curve.

One campaign can take days, even months of play time. Best total war in the series.

Since I never played the earlier games from the developer I think I see Total War 2 with different eyes than some of the other commentators. Being a huge Civ strategy fan as well as a fan of various RTS games I truly enjoy Total War, it's like two good games in one; Deep strategy and awesome RTS battles. Cavalry attacks can take out half an enemy unit in a few seconds if done right, Since I never played the earlier games from the developer I think I see Total War 2 with different eyes than some of the other commentators.

Cavalry attacks can take out half an enemy unit in a few seconds if done right, just makes sure your cavalry unit is in good formation before you order the attack. After a few seconds, pull them back, regroup and repeat. I don't think it's a bug. An almost perfect game. A superb blend of RTS and Turn based strategy. Medieval 2 has stolen more gaming hours from me than any other title. Coupled with the amazing addons from the community it surpasses (in terms of playability and longevity) any other game in my collection - and I have a big collection of games.

If I was told I could only play one game from now until eternity it would be, without shadow of a doubt - Medieval 2. A Modern masterpiece. Havent played shogun 2 or pre rome games.

But this is the best in the series, far better game then rome, and a generally awesome game. AI is not great, but its entirely playable.The people saying you cant charge with cav are stuipid, double click and u charge, how could u not understand this, its in every single game and medieval 2 is no exception.Sieges are great, although u can hold Havent played shogun 2 or pre rome games. But this is the best in the series, far better game then rome, and a generally awesome game. AI is not great, but its entirely playable. The people saying you cant charge with cav are stuipid, double click and u charge, how could u not understand this, its in every single game and medieval 2 is no exception. Sieges are great, although u can hold off huge forces with just 5 peasent archers if the enemy doesent have siege weapons like catapolts and cannons.

And even then any phalanix form able units can stop any breach with 2 units, but that is still pretty realistic, since generals from the time even said u need like 5 times the invading force if u want to capture a well defended castle, and 2x if u have the element of surprise. Pope can be annoying however, and i am sad you cant turn off the pope, as he will often threaten with excommunication when u invade a christian city after they attack you, even if u have higher rank with the pope. Also if u break a ceasefire or alliance in under like 10 turns of making it u cant get any nation ever to ceasefire without spending like 50000 and a major city. The pope often requests impossable things, eg in french campaign, his first mission was get england to give caen, a major castle that is englands greatest strategic area at the start of the game. He will also slightly down rank you if u dont join the crusades, which often are on the opposite side of the map (im in england and he requested crusades take juesalisim. But aside form those few flaws, im loving this game much more then rome and definatly the later games empire and napoleon.

This is one of my favorite Total War games if not my favorite. The game has a lot of good things such as the family tree, diplomacy, combat, the economic system etc., but there are a few problems that keeps this game from being a 10.

Sure, doesn't sound as interesting as a game like, for example, Final Fantasy or Battlefield 4, but don't let the name be the game. In truth, Medieval 2 Total War will probably be one of the best military strategy games you have ever played. Medieval 2 Total War is a game where you get to build a mighty kingdom, through economy, diplomacy (if necessary), Medieval 2 Total War.

In truth, Medieval 2 Total War will probably be one of the best military strategy games you have ever played. Medieval 2 Total War is a game where you get to build a mighty kingdom, through economy, diplomacy (if necessary), and - wait for it. This isn't like Clash of Clans, Good Game Empire or Game of War: Fire age, I'm talking about legitimate conquest: capturing cities, castles, and spreading your empire across Medieval Europe.

Some categories that determined the score were: Graphics - I have a not-so-great computer, I'll admit. So I was surprised when I saw that Medieval 2's graphics were almost as vivid and real as they would have looked like in real life.

They're that good on a medium-low level computer. Battles - I would have given it more had it not been for the max of 10 points. Here's how battles work: When you engage an enemy army or attack an enemy castle or town, you go into battle mode.

This is where you engage the enemy army and try to kill them all, but here's the catch: YOU get to command your own army, instead of throwing armies out there and not get to see them fight, or get to see them fight but not have control over them, like in Clash of Clans. And once you get the hang of the simple controls, it'll make you feel like a true general. But wait, there's more! When you attack a castle, you get to fight the enemy army - in a castle!

If you love strategy games but find them dull or lifeless, and want more in your games, I strongly recommend that you try out Medieval 2: Total War. It is truly a masterpiece. Creative Assembly, great job! This is probably one of the strategy games that I enjoyed most. The game is amazing in all aspects. There is variety of units, it's relatively accurate in historical topics, the campaign map is big and you can play with lots of factions that make the game replayable thousands of times.

It's true that sometimes your units disobey in the battlefield, there are some bugs and the diplomacy occasionally seems totally random, but this is with Rome the best TW game without doubts. And the experience gains much using the fantastic mods that exist for this game. I hope that CA will allow to do mods like the ones of this game for other TW in the future.

Medieval 2 throws you into one of the bloodiest ages in recorded history in a strategic fight for world domination or the survival of another bloody day. Yeah, it was great. When the units obey your orders, Medieval II is an amazing spectacle and a fun game to play.

Not only are thousands of hand-chosen soldiers fighting at your command, but cities rise and fall at your leisure based on war, diplomacy, sabotage, and assassination.

You only need try one demo battle to see that for yourself. Not only that, the gameplay is addictive, fun, and challenging, especially on the harder difficulty settings.

Everything from the music, to the interface, and even the manual and packaging is top-notch. Admittedly, the initial release of the game contained some show-stopping bugs. However, with the first, and now second, patches available, the game now plays as it was intended. And it's worth every dime. I definately would highly recommend this game to any serious strategy gamer who is sick of the tired, boring, and now just stupid RTS gaming engine that most modern 'strategy' games employ. It's truly an awesome game.

I was stumped at first, until i worked out the new formed/unformaed charge system.

In rome a cavalry unit could be charging one way, and quickly turn around and smash into an enemy flank, without stopping. Is this realistic? In med2 a charge has to have time to gather speed, and stay fairly straight to be effective, and I much prefer this. To the idiotic AI, simply put the difficulty to very hard/very hard, and you will have bigger armies coming at you while your supposedly 'equal' troops are inferior, and that erquires some clever tactics. Good times, brilliant game.

I really like this game, i was a big fan of Rome Total War and when this came out I had to be the first to have it. I dont really have a problem with the calvery charge cause I never use horsemen anyway. I am all infantry, I love the heavy infantry and archers that the English provide. I would recommend this game to anybody with a beasty enough computer to run it.

I would recommend this game to anybody with a beasty enough computer to run it. Awsome game, my favorite at the moment. Pretty good, but full of bugs. The gameplay is just as good as Rome, sieges are even better in my opinion.

I absolutely hate the Mongols and Timurids though, they have massive armies that are almost guaranteed to not be destroyed unless you are able to mass thousands of troops to meet them right when they spawn on the campaign map.

This was the second Total War game I played, the first being Rome, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that I loved this game even more. Many improvements were made for this game, such as militia units, fortresses, larger unit queues, and more advanced diplomacy.

I very much enjoyed the addition of castles and upgradable turrets, which offered a much more secure defense for contested areas, as well as the introduction of traders, which can be very useful for developing strong economies. I'd definitely recommend this game to anyone who likes strategy games, especially fans of the Total War franchise. Medieval was not my first contact with the Total War series.

That's right - I had the impression that I play the same thing, only that transferred to the Middle Ages. You can not deny the charm and expand the game, it certainly needed in strategy games. Fortunately, that Rome was a good game. Medieval was not my first contact with the Total War series.

Fortunately, that Rome was a good game. Medieval Thanks is also very good, but not perfect. My score was 8, I think fair. Getting slightly out of date now but still a fantastic game.

The graphics for its time were groundbreaking and the scope of the game is huge but best of all manageable and keeps you involved. The real time battles are breathtaking and challenging but allow you to develop your skills as the campaigns unfold.

My first Total War game. This game is pretty good it actually gives you a feeling that you're actually controlling and keeping peace in your faction and in your settlements. The game's graphics is good and combat is nice but sometimes your units won't listen which is really annoying sometimes.

Mods help make the game better and add some extras like better combat and some historic events so that's not a bad thing. I've owned the gold edition of the game for about five years and in the means of medieval warfare, this is by far the best on the market.

The entire Total War series is great but this one holds a special place for me. The graphics are superb, the combo of RTS and TBS makes this a real gem.

The real time battles along with night/day/weather effects depending on the season is just incredible. My favorite faction is England. I usually knock out Scotland early on and take over the entire British Isles for myself.

It's the perfect strategic stronghold. Each faction has historical units which is a complete blast. The English Longbow and Knights of England are devastating in battle, as so are the French Crossbow and Calvary. You may even get lucky and be asked to allow the Knights Templar to build a facility within one of your towns. These guys are like a tornado on the open battlefield, and they look cool.

Furthermore, you can build up each city, Town or Castle, assassinate people, battle heretics with your priests, marry off your daughters or use them as diplomats, sabotage buildings, and much much more. The game is so in-depth, it's crazy. Even your leaders can take on unique traits; anywhere from being a saint to a drunken lout. For better or worse, this will effect the town(s) which your general governs. At times, you may even discover a cheating wife or husband, or get accused or heresy. There are even historical events which happen over the course of the game which adds even more flavor to the game.

Mongol/Timurid invasion, crusades to the Holy Land, exploration to the Americas, and even the Black Death. Some events are down right cruel, such as a general being murdered or killed in a freak storm at sea, but this just adds even more icing on the cake. I truly don't understand the negative reviews, for there is nothing wrong with the game. I guess you either like it or not.

I for one, love it and have nothing negative to say about it. It's a classic masterpiece. Great job Sega! Simillar to Rome, but prettier, better, bigger and faster with last thing maybe being the most important.

Medeval gave players more freedom and more strategic options, also in much greater scale and less slow army building (no 20 turn waiting to gather an elite army if you have infrastructure). Like in Rome, you get pretty various and interesting factions, that force to to choose Simillar to Rome, but prettier, better, bigger and faster with last thing maybe being the most important.

Like in Rome, you get pretty various and interesting factions, that force to to choose different strategies and policies of building your empire. The pope, crusades/jihad and mongol invasions give the game a nice strategic twist, creating some really though choices and problems for player to manage (for example, obvious advantages of capturing Jerusalem are reduced by facing a nearly unstoppable Mongol hordes in that region soon after). It all combines in a really enjoyable experience, even today worth trying if you never played this title before. This may be the last Total War game I ever play for a serious amount of time, the new ones just don't do it for me, and everything after this one has simply put.

Flat out sucked! They removed many of the best features of Total War games like the retraining of units, family tree, the depth and amount of faction specific units.

At this point I don't even want to see these guys make a M3TW, because they will just mess it up and probably in the process ruin M2 for me. Simply a masterpiece, never has a game since perfectly represented medieval combat, strategy and sheer size. Over 1000s of units on the screen at once, with little-to-no impact on your PC.

A legendary AI that uses tactics and everything the game has to offer, and if that doesn't take your fancy, the modding community surely has something that can entertain you. Pros: - Epic (siege & regular) battles with 1000+ units. In-depth tactics that anybody could learn and utilise. More advanced tactics and strategies for veterans of M2TW. A large world map with many settlements to conquer or hold.

Cons: - At battles with 1500+ units, the game becomes choppy when played at x6 and x2 speed. An all-time PC game classic. This game is epic in scope, seamless in execution and breathtaking in detail. While Historical accuracy is not a big concern in this game, as a graduate in Medieval history I still enjoy it. The strategy map gives you a massive array of options, challenges and tools to conquer the world. Your rivals act in a fairly sensible manner, attacking each other and you An all-time PC game classic.

Every playthrough will be subtly different. However I have one minor criticism - diplomacy. This is an incredibly illogical and buggy system. Betrayal of alliances is virtually guaranteed regardless of what is done in the game. Some factions will act provocatively, i.e. By placing large armies by settlements but you will be regarded as 'treacherous' for responding. This is a minor bug though.

All-in-all I've played it for 1,000 hours (according to Steam) and I'm looking forward to the next game. Probably my favourite game, definitely on my top 5. Bought it back in 2006 and eleven years later and I'm still playing it. Mods like Stainless Steel also inject longevity into the title. This is a true strategy game where careful planning and timing will almost always trump brute-force and tank-rush tactics. In my opinion the Total War serious went in a downward spiral after TW:M2, but Probably my favourite game, definitely on my top 5.

In my opinion the Total War serious went in a downward spiral after TW:M2, but what a peak it is. Brilliant game that has stood the test of time.

For me, it will always be the ultimate member of the Total War franchise. Huge range of units, many playable factions and really open to tactical freedom. Have also only just (2019!) played the Brittania DLC and really enjoying it. A break from the chaos with a smaller pool of factions involved.Only negative remains as always - a totally Brilliant game that has stood the test of time.

Only negative remains as always - a totally flawed alliance system. It relies on gifts and tributes, but will still be impossible to maintain an alliance, the AI are coded to backstab!
