Great game! A real strategy game! I cant say more...

User Rating: 8 | Medieval II: Total War PC
You will start out having only 2 or more settlement (it depends on the faction) and then its up to you how to make your faction the strongest empire! Like in RTW you must manage your settlements by yourself or let the AI do the work well its up to you. As you get stronger and the your empire grows larger the more enemy you will face - this is where the diplomats do their work, you can get extra golds with the help of your merchants and assasination is good and now effective. Battles are same as RTW but is looks more realistic this time (depends on your system) and its fun to watch it. PLUS the Medieval 2 offers great thrill because of the 2 strong factions namely the Mongols and Timurids. So better go to nearest Game Stores in your place and grab one, i assure you this is great
NOTE that you must fight the battles yourself to minimize the casualties and or let the AI ensure the victory
