Same. It was a worthy entry to the franchise after Rome 1, which was hard to beat. I was 17 at the time Med2 released, and completely and utterly broke. I had no money. I had to pirate it to play. Made up for it later though, since then I bought a physical copy + a STEAM copy.

I would like to see a second episode :)

the cut scenes were one of the best bits

Still playing this game... its like therapy.

MTW2 still holds up quite well, despite aging graphics, politic system and shitty diplomacy

It came out on Wednesday, close enough. I count that as a typical Rambler Victory!

This is some excellent, monetizable content - really the best, best content....

You are good Medieval II: Total War player.

I’d love to watch you do a few videos on Third Age, but either way if it’s Medieval 2 it’s getting a like no matter what

Ive played m2tw so much, now my campaign usually justs consists of picking a faction that has princesses and literally just inbreeding and see how far it can go. The difficulty comes with killing off certain family members so the heir/kings daughters will spawn as princesses instead of just maidens which do not appear on the campaign map. Which i mean its not too far removed from what they actually did back then

alex:if someones bold there trustworthy right.Benito Mussolini:Am i a joke to you,oh wait i am

TBH I think the battles in this are best in the series. The units had so much more weight behind them,

You mentioned that you're interested in it, but that your ad revenue falls when you talk about history, might that be something for your other channel? Or a specific video for rambling about the historical context for these games? I'd watch that! keep up the great stuff!

Medieval 2 is probably my most favourite game of all time

Currently watching a CK2 series. It's on part 12 only one of which was shorter than an hour. And it's great. While this might be expecting a bit too much, religiously sticking to the single video system (of course including the 20 minutes dogma) limits, what you can do. Just let your hair down and do a bit of what you feel like, even if the views drop in a second part. Other example are the Yogs Civ (and alike) videos. It created some quite good serieses.

Question! Is it possible to play this with a friend together on the big map ?

I know this video was a from a year ago but for anyone who sees this after my comment should know that feral interactive is working on releasing this game as a port on iOS and android which has sparked speculation of a remaster by them for PC Mac and Linux so let’s keep our finger crossed for that in the future

I think you should check out the mod Medieval 1212 for TTW: Attila. It literally revived the game for me, and reminds me so much of this game

because in an unmodded game vanilla scotland's roster is complete and utter shite. Crap cavalry and range units. Which are the units that give you the greatest victories. Melee infantry are just there to hold a line. And pikes fucking blow, the only good use for them is at a chokepoint. And they are just marginally better than a heavy spearmen when dealing with cav on the field. At least a spearman has mobility and can survive better when they get blasted by a range unit. There are work arounds of course. Get a crusader guild for actually decent cav, and hire xbows. But merc xbows are expensive, suck in melee, and get crushed by good archery units and pavise xbows. And getting the crusader guild takes a bit of time to get, and retraining becomes a nuisance.

You should definetly try Napoleon Total War, and do Napoleon's campaigns. Ive enjoyed playing through them lately.
