WKK Gimbal 0 Posted June 28, 2002 I've been looking forward to Medieval - Total War for ages and finally got downloaded the demo and tried it out. It's amazing! The realism is breathtaking. While battles can have 1000s of troops, this is not at the expense of detail. Every single aspect, like terrain positions, weather, morale, disease, fatigue, skills, etc ... it's all there. The best thing is, as soon as you learn the interface, you can feel at home, as all the tactics work like in real life - no abstract rule system that has to be bend and twisted. It's simply the real thing. When my knights charged into battle - rumbling hooves and clouds of dust - bashing through the ranks of enemy spearmen, under cover from my archers on the hills ... It felt like the battle scenes from Braveheart ... I was a real warlord! The demo includes 8 great tutorials and ends with a HUGE battle against Saladin, which everyone says is very hard to win. I feel like mentioning that I won that battle in first try, with no morale breaks and very few casualties World, fear my hordes of death and destruction!

cpl_BOB 0 Posted June 28, 2002 I also have the DEMO, i beat the Jaffa (saladin mission twice on my first few go's,, its excellent game, and im eagerly waiting for its release in august. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WKK Gimbal 0 Posted June 28, 2002 Yeah, I'm looking very much forward to play the battles in combination with an overall strategic/economic campaign in the full version. It really adds depth to the fighting It also opens the possibility for deploying armies much stronger than the defenders - a quite realistic aspect too. Now I've played Jaffa 3 times, and I lost the second time, but won again in the 3rd. It seems if you survive the first attack and get regrouped, the enemy don't stand much chance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruud van Nistelrooy 0 Posted June 28, 2002 suppose i'm the only person who hasn't yet completed the last mission then Personally, seeing all those cavalry charging at my army send me into a morale deficiancy and as a result my tactics fuck up Methinks this will be the best rts for the next few years,. just like shogun The best bit about the game is probably bombarding the walls, and having the walls fall on top of enemy troops mass death or what Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
