Total War: MEDIEVAL II – Definitive Edition

I dont know what im doing, but this game is cool.

Don't want to be that guy that cares about graphics but this game looks insanely grainy on my pc. Love the total war games but I would rather play Rome 2. Other than that the game is good.

Absolute blast, one of the greatest total war games ever made

A Sovereign’s Confession: "My Armor Is Tight, My Horizon Is Narrow" ​Greetings, noble Commander. It is I—the one who has occupied the throne of your library since 2006, the one who haunts your dreams with the clashing of steel and the tolling of cathedral bells. I am Medieval II: Total War. ​For years, I have heard the wistful sighs of my generals: "If only you had the world map of Empire: Total War... you would be untouchable." You are right. So, allow me to step off my pedestal and offer a critique of my own design through the lens of that grand, global scale. ​1. The Blinders of Eurocentrism ​I must admit: my map feels a bit... claustrophobic. I lead you from the coast of Iberia and force you to halt at the Caspian Sea. Yes, I give you a tiny window into the Americas in the late game, but let’s be honest—it’s a mere footnote. ​If I possessed Empire’s sprawling horizons, with its naval theaters and Indian subcontinents, I wouldn't just be a simulation of knighthood; I would be a Global Conqueror. Imagine sending a fleet of Great Crosses across the Atlantic while simultaneously managing a Seljuk garrison in the heart of Bengal. That wouldn't just be a game; it would be an eternal epic. ​2. Empire’s Grandeur vs. My Soul ​Empire’s map was vast, though some say it lacked the "grit" under its fingernails. However, I envy its logistical brilliance: ​Trade Theaters: In Empire, the fight for the Ivory Coast or the East Indies felt vital. In my world, the sea is often just a "blue road" to ferry knights from point A to point B. ​Strategic Scope: A world map means managing resources on a planetary scale. I kept you locked in the fertile but cramped backyard of Europe. ​3. Why I Would Have Been "The One" ​My battlefield atmosphere, my legendary general speeches, and my visceral siege mechanics are still considered the gold standard. If you had married that soul to Empire’s triple-continent map: ​The Crusades: They wouldn't just be about Jerusalem; they would be a global clash of civilizations spanning from the Americas to the Far East. ​The Mongol Invasion: Instead of a terrifying "end-game boss" for Eastern Europe, it would have been a world-shattering apocalypse sweeping across the entire Eurasian landmass. ​Diplomacy: It would have evolved into a massive chess game involving Ming dynasties, Aztec empires, and European kingdoms all on one board. ​Final Verdict: A Giant in a Small Room ​I accept the critique. I kept you confined to the muddy fields of France and the burning sands of the Levant. But remember: even within those narrow borders, I gave you a passion that has lasted decades. ​If I had shared Empire’s vision of the world, the Total War series might have peaked with me—because surpassing such a beast would have been impossible. For now, we tip our helmets to the modders; they are the ones still trying to stretch my old parchment map to the edges of the earth.

great strategy based game

Still one of the best entries in the series. Please don't butcher Med III CA. We've waited over 20 years for it, and several years for another good historical entry in the series.
