Medieval 2: Total War PC Game 2010

May 21, 2010 - PRLog -- Creative Assembly is a British development team based in West Sassex, southern England, founded in 1987. In the beginning the team was concerned with PC conversions, especially sports titles developed by Electronic Arts as the Rugby World Cup 1995 Cricket World Cup or 99. But it is only with Shogun: Total War Creative Assembly who has known the true reputation. In addition to being the founder of the successful series Total War, Shogun was a turning point in the design firm and clear strategy game in real time. For the first had been reconstructed in detail a historical period, with all (or almost) the variables to influence your decisions. Needless to say that the success was great, both among fans of the genre that between absolute beginners. Since then, the group that did not devote himself to the Total War series, producing two huge chapters, Medieval and Rome, great title and definitely the best of their kind. All this success has brought attention to one of the most famous software company, saw that, in March 2005, acquired the entire development team, and since then it produces all the titles. Just from the upper floors of the SAW will come the idea of the one spin-off series: Spartan: Total War, an action to the highly successful Dynasty Warriors not just representing the first experiment, the team outside of the strategy genre, whereas the last years its history. After several expansions for Spartan and Medieval Rome and everyone expected a new chapter in the Total War series and arrived on time. The E3 of 2006 was the scene of the presentation of Medieval 2: Total War, and now it's finally arrived in stores, Let's find out together ...

Total War 2010 (PC)
For those who knew the real reasons for the resounding success that the previous games in the Total War series have had are quickly satisfied. What has ensured high sales in past years were the highest depth of play and spectacular battles fought with archers, knights or even catapults, but also from historical accuracy with which the majority of the units has been reproduced on the screen . In the first Medieval was nothing left to chance factors such as soil characteristics, climatic conditions, the amount of arrows of the archers, the charging time of catapults, the ability to hit more effectively on the side than a frontal attack, the exhaustion of the troops ... it was all taken into consideration and had a particular bearing on the ongoing battle. To understand where this can go Medieval 2, it suffices to know that everything was Medieval Medieval 2 is extended and improved in all respects. But proceed with order and we analyze the new title from Creative Assembly in its details.

A bit of History
As the title itself, Medieval 2: Total War (Medieval 2 henceforth) is set in the Middle Ages, historical period, known to be from 476 AD (Year of the fall of the Roman Empire) in 1492 (discovery of the Americas). The choice to set the whole new episode back in Medieval times has raised many doubts among the faithful of the series, mainly because the usual rumors, leaked before the official presentation, looked for some setting in the Napoleonic period, but, evidently, the development team decided to play it safe replicating a historical setting already developed years ago.

We enter the heart of the game: Napoleon: Total War PC Game Review 2010 http://www.pcgametrek.com/napoleon-total-war-pc/
Game modes that are available to us Medieval2 5: Campaign, Custom, Historic, Fast and Multiplayer. Starting from it we can not help but express our disappointment at the mere possibility of a contest battles for up to eight players simultaneously but you can not do a whole campaign against other modes giocatori.Le Custom, Historical and Fast do not need special explanations for this and we can move on to describe what is the heart of the whole game: the Campaign mode. The first choice to make the faction will be controlled (in the beginning you can choose from five factions of exhibits, but after winning a campaign will be unlocked other 7), while the second will be the target to win the campaign (ie amount of territory to conquer a certain number of rounds). After making the necessary choices you will be catapulted into the game map that includes all the lands known at the time, then the whole of Europe as some countries of North Africa and, depending on the faction chosen, you will have the possession of certain territories.
Like all other chapters of this series Total War Medieval 2 also divides into two main phases of the game sections: the management of the kingdom and the battle. Wanting to make the order we consider first the management of the kingdom. The latter is mainly in the economic management of the kingdom, the establishment of a strong army and large, the management of relations with other kingdoms and novelty of this new chapter, managing the relationship with the Church of Rome greatly affect the various stages of gioco.Avere a good relationship with the Pope is very important to win, because you can receive assignments in the form of missions that will be economically rewarded, and because antagonizing the head of the Church can have disastrous consequences form of inquisition and excommunication that is actually the opening of borders to enemy troops.
Novelty so important in the rest of the game there are very few. The management of troops and the economy, it has remained almost entirely unchanged from the last chapter of the series (London).

Battles
Now for the description of what is the most spectacular of all the Total War series: the battles. From the first chapter thousands of soldiers on the field that could not impress any player. We must say that even in this case, there are plenty of new features compared to previous chapters, but the lack of news can be justified because it is certainly hard to improve what is the best of its kind. Improvements to the phase of the fighting on the field have improved mainly in terms of aesthetic increased by deploying troops and especially the definition of the various units at the expense of resources that sucks the game engine. Also significantly improved the AI of the enemy troops that hardly see as wrong, in some cases could happen in previous chapters. The battles take place in three phases: the evaluation of weather conditions, the disposition of troops on the ground and the actual battle. Needless to say that the most exciting is the latest. See two armies with thousands of units deployed in the field encounter is a feeling that few games can give. Moreover, the consequences that your tactical decisions will have on the field are nothing short of perfect and give feedback that is indeed remarkable. You face a battle in four different situations: facing an enemy in the open, under attack, attacking a city or a castle under siege, and finally undergoing a siege in a city or a castle.

Graphics and Sound
The technical sector that Creative Assembly have developed is undoubtedly the highest level. Certainly effect the look and feel of the game, especially during battle. The troops on the field are numerous and particularly well defined at the expense of an excessive demand for hardware resources on the part of the game. The fund is bluntly defined sound spectacular battlefields are real, the screams, the charges, nothing missing, all this is completely in Italian, like the rest of the game, nothing ruled out.
