  Good Points: Large scale battles

  
  

  Bad Points: Soon feels like you're just throwing around a number of blobs.Campaign grows boring too quick.

  
  

  General comments: The first time you fight these battles it's quite impressive to see this large scale kind of medieval battle in action. But it soon gets repetitive and feels blobby. There doesn't seem to be much depth to it, and all the fight seems to happen rather slow. It's basically archers, spearmen, cavalry, and you must also protect your general. The names of different flavors of these three types of units vary, but in the end they just feel the same.
  
  Campaign map is over complicated and although has some interesting concepts like the use of priest, diplomats and merchants, it's just not fun. City management is dull, and you will just end up pressing auto manage so you don't have to deal with it. Yet you will sometimes want to turn this off temporarily to get the units you want built. What's worse is that you will often auto resolve the battles because as I said earlier, they get tired quickly.

  I find it best to use the elephant rocketeers to just make my nation what size I want it to be and then leave a couple of them garrisoning the forts and towns the cheat for them is vindaloo.
  Another you may find handy is toggle_fow this enables you to s ...

  Medieval 2: Total War is a highly addictive blend of empire management and battlefield tactics. Well designed, the Total War series recipe always has and always will work. This game offers you the chance to control a historical faction during the period AD 1080 to 1532. You need to manage your empire's economy, diplomacy and religion, as well as all military and defence aspects. The interface and game engine allows you to do this easily, and it has enough depth and stats to satisfy any hardc ...
