Story Medieval II: Total War takes place in the years 1080-1530. The creators focused on the authenticity and faithful recreation of the realities of that period. The players operate not only on the Old Continent, but also in Central and South America (fighting the Aztecs) and in the Middle East (crusades aimed at reclaiming the Holy Land by Christians). Gameplay Medieval II: Total War is played on the huge map of Europeand partially in the Middle East, Africa, and even the New World. The map is divided into provinces that can be conquered. Each province can have either a city or a castle built in it. Cities are the primary source of income, while castles are used mainly for military purposes, such as recruiting an experienced army and providing a solid defense against enemy troops. While on this map, players take turns to build totally new structures, recruit an army and agents and order them to move or declare attacks.In every fight you are able to command your units and order them to march forward, flank the enemy army, or hide in the forest, for example. Attacking the castle can turn into a siege battle, where siege equipment should be used to breach the walls. Religion plays a huge role in the game with Christians fighting against Muslims over the holy land of Jerusalem. The Pope can call crusades against hostile provinces, while Muslim imams can declare jihads. . The main Medieval II: Total War mode is the single-player campaign, where players pick their starting kingdom and try to conquer as many provinces as possible during the five hundred years period. Depending on the type of campaign, short or long, players need to capture at least 15 or 45 territories to win. Additionally, in the long campaign, it’s also required to capture one or two significant cities – Jerusalem, Granada, Rome, or Constantinople. In Medieval II: Total War are also single battles that put emphasis on real-time engagements between two or more participants. These can be played in a few different ways – custom battles are set entirely by the player, multiplayer battles allow to battle another player, and historical battles are challenges based on real historical encounters, where you often have to deal with a more powerful enemy and must outsmart him in order to win.
