Take command of your army and expand your reign in Medieval II. Direct massive battles featuring up to 10,000 bloodthirsty troops on epic 3D battlefields, while presiding over some of the greatest Medieval nations of the Western and Middle Eastern world. Spanning the most turbulent era in Western history, your quest for territory and power takes you through Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, and even onto the shores of the New World.
IMHO, just the best Total war. Especially for the facts the game was open to modding, and followed a lot and for years by many modders, leading to such great mod as Deus Lo Volt, Third Age...
