This must be the best RTS game I played so far.
This game truly offer all the necessities that a RTS player wants. Medieval 2 offer great Historical battles from almost every part of the known world. Areas such as Europe, Middle East, and The Americas. The Music in this game give you the true feeling of Medieval life.
What makes this game a true RTS game (comparing to other RTS game) actually makes you plan strategics battle plans against your enemies. Giving you a true feeling that your are in total command of your armies, in the same position as the king might of felt when he was confronted by the same enemies your are facing in the game, in real life.(Maybe)
You are offered to run a kingdom from which you choose. All factions have different goals making them very unique. Not just battling as a main goal for your country's conquest, but it offer loads of other opportunities for your kingdom. You can have the right to manage a city of any kind under your control.(Taxing, Public control, etc), other things you can do is run your Royal Family, Trade, Treaties, and Assassination (People that you truly hate.)
Few pointers for living up its moments.
Historical battles, Great OST, Great factions, all of them are unique. "TOTAL WAR" for your kingdom. Good Cheats/ Mods. Great graphics........ Yeah, just go buy this game, I promise you won't be disappointed. LoL.. Worth your $20.
