Medieval II: Total War

[elpiggo]

I've got it, and the graphics seem...different. Not my style at all.

What does anyone else think?

[Guss]

I think about the same as you but the graphic's are not the best but it looks nice. ;)

The graphics are good, but not better than Warhammer: Mark of Chaos. At least it's better than Rome, and I personally like the new animations. Also, in Medieval, you can have REAL knights :ph34r: . Big guys with big weapons wearing big shields and big armor. That's one of the things I missed in Rome. (I know, it wouldn't be historically correct, but I missed the feeling of having huge tanks roaming around on the battlefield, trampling over infantry like a bulldozer :happy: . The closest thing you could have was elephants and cataphracts.)

Hmm I agree that the gameplay is much better.

 

I like the concept of castles and towns, which I sorely missed in Rome; there was just no variety. But the best thing about II is the recruitment system. Again in Rome it was bland with no upgrades to how you recruit. However, they could have included a bit more. It seems like Medieval I with better graphics.

 

Also, heres a new question: which do you prefer, the map style travelling(unlimimited movement within a province, cross province borders once per turn), or the 3D concept (move totally freely, but limited movement per turn)?

[Guss]

I would like the unlimimited movement within a province instead of the other, because you get to move freely and not move freely, but limited movement per turn. :)

[elpiggo]

I agree there. It would be good if you could mod it :D

[Guss]

I think that almost everyone would like the game if you can mod it. I have the game but I want do make mods for it and you can't mod it. :mellow:
