Modder Superior – How to turn Medieval 2: Total War into a big fantasy fight
By Dominic Tarason • 5 months ago • 6
It's good to be king, and even better to be a sorcerer commanding a swarm of the undead. While the Total War series has grown into more fantastical settings by itself, it was the fans to first stick pointy ears on the venerable strategy game. Thanks to its robust mod support Medieval 2: Total War still has a large and active modding scene. While there…

These are the Total War team's favourite ever Total War factions
By Edwin Evans-Thirlwell • 12 months ago • 22
According to an ancient Sussex proverb, there are as many factions in the 20-year-old Total War series as there are sand grains on a beach, as there are angels dancing upon the head of a pin, as there are grenadiers in the armies of his Imperial Majesty Napoleon I, Emperor of the French, King of Italy, Protector of the Confederation of the Rhine, Co-Prince of…

The Best And Worst Total War Games
By Rob Zacny • 4 years ago • 127
At its best, the Total War series casts a spell over you. Your empire rises from nothing, surrounded by enemies who are poised to trample it into the dust. Each decision on the strategic level is a gamble on the immediate future, where "one more turn" isn't just a stepping-stone to a new upgrade, but a perilous step onto thin ice. Each time you take…

Diary: Rock And Roll With The Gorons Of Hyrule: Total War
By Christopher Livingston • 6 years ago • 42
Here's the premise of the Hyrule: Total War mod for Medieval II: Total War Kingdoms. Link, the hero of Hyrule, has tooted some somber notes on his Ocarina and vanished into the past, presumably on a mission to assassinate Navi's grandfather. The rest of Hyrule, comprised of 20 different factions, is competing to fill the Link-shaped void. The result is like something out of fevered…

All Reik On The Night: Call Of Warhammer
By Kieron Gillen • 10 years ago • 53
You may remember before Christmas, we mentioned a Medieval 2 Warhammer mod was coming out before Christmas. Now, after Christmas, it's out. And then it's slightly more out, as they released a V1.01. Instructions for downloading and installing the mod can be found here. Instructions for installing the English patch to un-Russian it are here. And Hot Daemonette on Bloodletter on Plaguebear action is below…

Mod For The Mod God: Call of Warhammer
I must be getting some kind of geek sense. I woke up on Saturday morning and found myself thinking "I wonder if anyone's done a Warhammer mod for Medieval 2 yet". I start googling and discover that there's one which is just about to come out. Call of Warhammer is promising its first release out for Chrimble (or there about) and actually looks pretty nifty.…

Born To Rhun: Third Age Total War 1.3
I've been primarily playing mods this week. This is the one has been eating most of my time. I mean that quite literally. I've been playing this most of my time. It's eaten mornings and afternoons and evenings I really can't afford to spend beating the hell out of Rhun. See! Rhun! Who the hell is Rhun? It's a Middle Earth Medieval II mod, and…

Eurogamer: Total War Kingdoms
By Kieron Gillen • 12 years ago • 5
Following on from Jim's review, Eurogamer have published my piece on Total War Kingdoms. Which mainly exists as a glorified referral post to my previous first-impressions piece which almost warped into a full review. To avoid repeating myself, I wander into increasingly esoteric terrain. For example... This is kind of one of the problems running through Total War games. You don't really get to change…

Kingdoms Review On PC Gamer
By Jim Rossignol • 12 years ago • 1
PC Gamer UK have posted up my review of Medieval II: Total War Kingdoms. I say things like this: These four campaigns represent a gigantic amount of new material. It's all presented brilliantly - new animations and cinematics for each of them, and a unique front end and rack of options. This feels like four expansion packs rather than one muscular bundle. The smaller changes…

I meant to post this before I jetted off to the US for a while. It's a report on my initial impressions of Medieval: Total War - Kingdoms, which may be of interest to humans. I'll confess that I didn't actually give the original game as much of my attention as I'd have liked. I wasn't commissioned to review it, so couldn't give it any…
