Medieval II: Total War

Very Disappointing

I was a huge fan of Rome... but Medieval 2 makes little to no sense. No matter what faction you take, no matter how hard you try and work on relationships... factions will randomly attack you with zero warning.

I would call it almost stupid. You can be rated as the most powerful nation, richest nation and most advanced nation.... all the sudden with no warning... well before you are even close to winning you are attacked by you allies... YES ALLIES. Even if you have a top notch rating with the pope.

The AI makes no sense. Poor programming. Basically no matter what you do the game is designed that multiple factions must attack you.

Nothing compared to Rome... up for trade on Goozex if anyone is interested.

  If it weren't for the horrible AI and all the bugs, this game would be the best of the series.
