Sup Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I know images aren't usually to be posted like this, but I really think this deserves it. This is of course the latest game in the TW series (after Rome, #3), a remake, essentially, of #2, Medieval. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avey Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Crikey. I lost a little confidence in the series though with the expansion pack for Rome; Barbarian Invasion. Didn't really add anything new to the game other than factions and maps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sup Posted February 18, 2006 Author Share Posted February 18, 2006 Well, ME's expansion didn't really add too much, and if the reason they didn't work enough on R's was this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Splash Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 PC Gamer (US) October 2006 has just featured this in its huge 'RTS Revolution' article. An article covering eleven games that will change the face of RTS forever. Bob Smith - Project Director Devoting extra effort to create soldiers that look like individual people was an obvious next step in improving the visuals of the franchise. The effects of this greater detail is all about immersion and will help make the world seem more real and less like a video game. DS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamakazi Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 I am really looking forward to this game, while I wont say I built my computer with this game in mind I won't lie that it was in the back of my mind, if I cant run it on high settings I give up basically oh yes, and this is my system AMD 4200 X2 @ 2.65 Ghz, 2 Gig RAM, GeForce 7900 GTX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeystick Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 I've heard that if you can run Rome with high settings then you can run medieval II at medium. Swedish PCGamer wrote that i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeystick Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Yay the legal demo is out! And I was right, if you can play Rome at high graphics you can play Medieval 2 at atleast medium.

Didn't try that one, tho I have Rome and Barbarian Invasion Is alexander any good Willie? alexander was a bit of a letdown for me since I just play the total war games in multiplayer, it had no new maps and only 4 playable factions, where of 2 where severely underpowered so the games got really limited to 2 factions.It was fun for quite a few games, some entertaining new units Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamakazi Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 So, have the demo, played the battle of Agincourt many a time. Thankfully it is a Total War game, with better graphics, but I really wish there was a strategy map Demo, because I believe the map makes or breaks a Total War game.

Hockeystick Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 The world map is an updated version of Rome, so expect atleast great graphics And remember that this demo is a pre-beta (I think). This is the demo that was given to the US PCG subscribers before everyone else. Unfortenately the demo got uploaded at various warez sites and CA had to release the public demo earlier than planned. This demo is not as optimezed as the retail (according to CA). Anyway, it's been said that CA will release another demo with another battle (!) and the demo will not require SSE2 as this demo requires. BTW, here is the system requirements, check out the hard drive requirement Minimum System Requirements: English version of Microsoft® Windows® 2000/XP. Celeron 1.8GHz Pentium 4® (1500MHz) or equivalent AMD® processor. 512MB RAM. 8x Speed DVD-ROM drive (1200KB/sec sustained transfer rate) and latest drivers. 11.0 Gigs of uncompressed free hard disk space. 100% DirectX® 9.0c compatible 16-bit sound card and latest drivers. 100% Windows® 2000/XP compatible mouse, keyboard and latest drivers. DirectX® 9.0c. 128MB Hardware Accelerated video card with Shader 1 support and the latest drivers. Must be 100% DirectX® 9.0c compatible.

Kamakazi Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 (edited) 11 Gigs, cough*gag*choke*blarg glad I am getting 500 GB of storage space for Christmas. Another battle eh? Yay, thats all I can say, I can only play Agincourt and that other one so many times. I assumed that the strat map would be basically the same, but I hear lots of things about better diplomacy, cooler assasins etc. Edited October 19, 2006 by Kamakazi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poita Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 The recent leaked demo earlier this month would not run on some AMD XP processors. (sheesh with that and GRAW not running on my graphics card i'm out of luck these days) This new demo is called the 'Gold demo'. Anyone know if it will run on us AMD old timers. it says P4 1,7 and AMD equivilant and i have an AMD XP 2.4 ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamakazi Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 It should run just fine, what AMD do you have, worked fine on my 4200 X2. Hope it works for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poita Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 yeah i finally found a download site that was a decent speed and just gave it a go. I had it on full everything except shadows and anti stropic or whatever and at 1600 1200 and it ran ok. I found the units in RTW much easier to distinguish. The Euro knights all look alike and the clashes are a bit more chaotic than in RTW. it looks nice and all that but i'd call this an upgrade to RTW rather than a next generation.

Kamakazi Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Yeah, I agree with the unit thing, something about the knights just make it so I can't focus on single people. Its hard to tell the difference between english and french knights at the battle of Agincourt, instead of big bright colors like in Rome, they are all just shiny metal things. I have thought that all TW games are just upgrades of the one before, none have ever really felt like a new game to me. Just feels like they made the graphics better, and made a few tweaks.

Poita Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Yeah but there is a shockingly good difference between MTW and RTW. The graphics jump between RTW and M2TW is just polish though. That's not really a bad thing as the RTW engine still looks great. They handed off M2TW to the B team in Aus and i think it's obvious that they are working on the next big jump which will take some time, either that or they are having their energies drained by redundant console development just like OpFlash did. Yeah the knights have the same effect that a zebras stripes do to lion. Just all one mess and it's hard to see individual actions. Still, it's really nice to see the RTW engine in a totally Medieval setting. I got as much joy from RTW because of the culture and history i learned as i did from the game play. It will be great to faff around with the different powers and learn new stuff about the specifics of their armies of the day. Before RTW a roman soldier was just a bloke with a shield and a little sword who fought in an organized block. Now after playing it for a few years i know the difference between all the differing infantry units etc, he he and i can see when a roman in a movie about Jesus is wearing armour that wasn't introduced until a hundred years after etc. That's pretty cool. Not many games educate that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
