Creative Assembly gets Medieval again

:)

Goze got it right, all the TW games have been awesome and this sounds great, but we need much better AI. Multiplayer on the strategic map anyone?? I really hope they finally introduce a multiplayer campaign.

it

I hope it doesn't get dumbed down, I hope it's even more in depth than Rome was. Rome is the best game ever, I certainly hope they come through with SEGA to deliver a game that expands the game play options to even greater frontiers. Funding rebellions, political dealings, systems of governance, below of course the King, realism is the key. The screen shots look amazing, lets hope the game gets even more content and options than Rome.

I hardly wait to see the spirit of Medieval reborn.

That the same way

Glad to hear they are making a sequel to the original. Hopefully they bring back some of the old concepts.

didn't play the first one, so, meh.

YaY

i think ill pass since iam act of war addict so iam gona wait for the expansion that its coming in march woho :)

The Orginal was so good, and with the Total War series going from strength to strength, I can't wait. Horrah!!!

THIS IS A DREAM COME TRUE!!!!

aside from call of duty 2 or battlfeild 2 or even wow...i always thought and still think the total war series has always been the best game out there...especially after making Rome...its done...total war owns all...

One down and one (Shogun-TW) to go. The re-introduction of Medieval 2 is the best news I have heard all year. Way to go CA

Looks interesting... I've been a fan of Rome: Total War and I'm looking forward to seeing how this game will turn out... One thing though... I really really hope they vastly improve the enemy AI, especially on the battlefield... It's pretty ridiculous having the enemy running around in circles in castles while my archers are decimating them... Ruins my whole respect for the game as a "strategy" game...

w3rd

yes another excuse to invade france

i will love to see the byzantines in america

Yahooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cant wait 2 play as some of the new factions, like the scottish or the papacy. Can u play as the papacy in the viking invasion expansion? i havent gotten it yet

Dude i am lookin forward to this for ages. The first one rocked and so did rome.

heck yeah. and i wouldn't worry about map sizes the game is built on the Rome engine. with a bit of modding, you can get an absolutely massive campaign map that doesn't bog down your system. from the sounds of it, CA isn't about to make this a 'small' campaign of any sort. sounds like a lot more fun.

Awesome, I can't wait to see more.

hopefully we'll get naval combat this time...

it seems a bit odd that they have gone back there. Why not go back to Shogun instead and then work back up? Samurai are cooler.

I hope it turns out better than Rome Total War. Medieval was the best the total war game so hopefully its direct sequel will be decent.

I'd love to get this, but my computer would never play it.. I'd have to do everything at the lowest settings.. And it still would lag :(

yah naval battles would kick @$$. so would expanding to asia and all of africa, but having the americas in the game would make it to big and useless.

Whoo! Finishing moves! Forget World peace right now, finishing moves are what we need. The "New World" stuff sounds like it could be interesting though, although I wonder how they'll incorporate it, some sort of Crusade-type expedition perhaps?

Add naval battles! Can't wait.

A new game for me to play

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS!!!!!!!! TOTAL WAR IS MY LIFE!!!!!!!!

No shogun 2, bah, i guess if you can fight on the other side of the crusades it should be cool

If it's anything near Rome Total War......it's going to be superb....wow. Can't wait.

Rome: Total War is the only one of these games that I have played, but I was completely impressed with the game. If this game is as involving, then color me all about it yo!

oh man... i'll need a beast of a pc to run that

oh man... i'll need a beast of a pc to run that

medival total war was my favorite game, and wow i must get this

I still have to go back and beat Rome: Total War... >_> I had a broken CD-RW at the time (don't go for free ones kids) and didn't get the game installed until I got the next big fancy game for the new year.

Really Excited, but yes. they should do something like Empre:Total War, in which you start as one country during a time period, a set time period say 1300s-1700s, and can coquer the world or a set place, with the same type, though improved, of gameplay as the previous total war games.

puppet pope, eh... sounds tempting

the aztec?.... how about instead of adding a bunch of useless craps like combo - block etc - which I doubt would add another lvl of enjoyment to the game - they make it a bigger world? including the whole globe? now that's what u'd call "total war" tiny puny europe in the dark ages is not worth the second sequel. at that veri same period - fights between "millions" men sides in asia were taking place unlike Europe's few thousands

Fantastic news!! About time someone faithfully recreated the conquest of Americas and the crusades. The Roman period was excellent, but Early modern is outstanding. The possibilitys for political struggle are numerous! The mentioning of blocking and counter blocking sounds absolutely amazing, and you thought R:TW battles were impressive :-D

Okay. My head just exploded. Anybody have a spare head? THIS GAME WILL RULE THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SWEET LORD!!!!!!

Great news. Damn, I love Medieval: Total War.

I'm still hoping for a direct Shogun sequel. Good news nonetheless.

Sounds like fun, i'll probably rent it first.

Sweet, sounds like a good plan for the Creative Assembly, hopefully they can make a game good enough to placate the hundred or so whiny fans who didn't like Rome:Total War. I have faith in them to do so...

ill take a look at it. hope its good though.

Awesome news Just wondering if they will use the same engine as Rome or build a more graphically refined one with more physics
