About Medieval II: Total War

Take command of your armies and expand your reign. Conquer, destroy, rebuild and improve the cities of the greatest medieval nations of the Western and Middle Eastern world. Employ diplomacy to manipulate your allies and enemies and direct epic and visceral real time battles with up to 10,000 meticulously detailed troops shedding blood on lush 3D landscapes complete with dynamic weather effects in order to re-write history and rule the world.

Spanning four and a half centuries of Western history’s most bloody and turbulent era, Medieval 2 encompasses the golden age of chivalry, the Crusades, the creation and propagation of gunpowder, the rise of the professional army and the discovery and conquest of the Americas. The indirect sequel to 2002’s Medieval: Total War, Medieval 2 is set between years 1080 and 1530 and focuses on medieval warfare, religion and politics in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East.

    I used to run co op sessions with my brother, splitting factions on separate saves and comparing our empires every weekend, still my favorite way to play a strategy game.

    moi c'était les châteaux de ma région qui m'avaient donné envie de m'y mettre, va savoir pourquoi.

    Le siège reste un modèle du genre (même si l'IA défensive triche un peu), difficile à égaler ailleurs.

    El asedio bien ejecutado da una sensación de control que pocos juegos han logrado repetir después.

    Est-ce que quelqu'un le compare encore sérieusement à des jeux comme Pokémon Black 2 (franchement je vois pas le rapport de rythme) ou c'est juste l'algorithme qui les colle en duel ?

    15-20 caractères max, difficile.

    on l'installait chez un copain dont le PC ramait déjà à l'époque, chaque tour de campagne mettait une éternité à charger, et pourtant on y retournait chaque week-end sans se lasser, alors que d'autres jeux du moment étaient oubliés en un mois

    Qui d'autre a passé des nuits entières à gérer une seule province sans jamais avancer dans la campagne ?

    descamps_frederique

    bref, la gestion économique est réelle mais elle demande un temps que peu de jeux récents exigent encore, ça joue clairement contre lui dans les votes face à des trucs plus rapides.

    Yo también me pasé noches enteras en una sola provincia, sin avanzar, y ni me arrepiento.
