Medieval II: Total War (2006) PC

Medieval II: Total War is one of the most popular parts of the famous Total War series of global strategies, the actions of which unfold in the era of the Middle Ages and often move into a New Time. As before, elements of turn-based strategy and RTS are combined here.

A well-known studio called Creative Assembly worked on the development of the game.

Plot

We still don't have a plot, but a large number of interesting scripts have been added that diversify the passage. Such scripts should include the epidemic of the "black death", the invasion of the Mongols and Timurids, the discovery of gunpowder and the New World, after which territories in Central America are opened.

Gameplay

In general, the gameplay of Medieval II: Total War is not much different from Rome, however, there are plenty of innovations, which makes the passage more interesting. Among such innovations, it is important to note the following:

• religion has begun to play a significant role in the virtual world – you will have to fight for the respect of the Pope, otherwise he may excommunicate you from the church and declare a crusade;
• now you are able to enter into dynastic marriages – this way you can seize power in a neighboring state without a single battle;
• you can take part in crusades against the countries of the Middle East and try to conquer Jerusalem and other holy cities;
• seventeen playable factions and each of them has weaknesses and strengths – the difficulty of playing for them is also seriously different.

Medieval II: Total War has grown significantly in graphics compared to the previous part, although it was developed on the same engine. The scale of the battles has increased – more than ten thousand fighters will face each other on the battlefield. All units not only wave swords and spears, but also use colorful finishing techniques
