The sequel to Shogun: Total War puts you in the role of a medieval king as you expand your empire through battles played in real-time and strategic and economic choices made in the turn-based campaign mode.

Overview:
Medieval: Total War is a game where you build an empire across medieval Europe, North Africa and the Middle East.  The gameplay is both turn-based strategic and real time tactical.  The player manages his empire, builds improvements, moves his armies, conducts diplomacy and subterfuge in a turn-based campaign mode played on map of the available provinces.  Battles are played in an RTS mode, with the player giving orders to units of men composing an army of (potentially) over a thousand individuals.  This dual-mode gameplay is a hallmark of the Total War franchise.


Features:

Gameplay
In Medieval: Total War, players can participate in real-time battles on a 3D battlefield against warring nations. The players army is organized into certain groups bases on what they are (for example, archers), and the player can control these groups individually. There is a great level of strategy involved in these battles as you can change your formations and decide how to approach the enemy. These battles can also be automatically resolved by the computer if the player does not wish to take to the battlefield. There are over 400 maps to play in the game and they're all different based on the locations. After victory, the player can hold some of the enemies hostage and decide to release them, release them for ransom, or execute them.

Diplomacy
The game deals heavily with diplomacy as you can create or break alliances accordingly. Allies can be useful in times of war as you can ask them to back you up. You can also make trade agreements or marry a daughter into another kingdom. This can change the tide of the game greatly.

Multiplayer
There is a multiplayer mode in the game which supports up to 7 players.
