St. Cloud Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I understand it is a race pack. On steam € 59,99 at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy C Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Ouch, that's pretty steep for a game these days. If its a good game then it could be worth it, but i think i will sit on the bench until after release. Will have to buy a new pc first at any rate, as my current one is too old.

Bantha Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 My friend is playing and it sounds really good. Not familiar with the games but hero setup and town setup construction wise sounds really good. Nice variation on races / tactics etc.. I'll probably get it after I'm done with ds3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 5 10 2 5 3 2 2
Dreamy Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Soooo this is out now I believe. Anyone got feedback on it? A Total War fanatic reviewed it and found it good, best total war ever, if I understood her right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Jimmy C Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 It gets 4.5 stars out of 5 on metacritic. My old pc won't run it, but if i ever get a new one then i will be sure to pick up this game. It really looks fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barristan Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Cool beans. I need a new PC to run it too, but as a big fan of Medieval 2 I thought I'd ask... should be cheaper after XMas anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dode Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I was underwhelmed to start with, but it is really, really good. Just about to win the Empire campaign having killed Chaos and almost all the northmen. Only got a few territories to take from the Border Princes after that and with 8 full-size armies I'm fairly confident of winning. I'll try an Orc campaign after that - they look fun.

Barristan Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Glad to hear it. I've seen vidyas of the battles and they looked awesome, but there was not much to see about the map/town management and for me these are just as important. Looking forward to try it in 8 months or so :P How's the AI by the way? Do you win fights at 1 vs 4 Med2 style or has it improved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomy77 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Crim was telling me my lappy might handle it. I'm not convinced as although it has enough beef to cope well with Mordheim it gave up when I tried XCOM 2. It's an Alienware gaming laptop purchased in 2012.

You think it might be worth trying again? It's doubtless had some patches and I've moved to Windoze 10 since 2 was released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 4
Rymdkejsaren Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I have no idea about the current state of the game, so you'll have to look into that yourself, first. But it seems likely it's in better shape, now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 2 4 2 2 3 2 2
crimsonsun Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 It's excellent though I knew it would be :p, as I said Doomy this games really optimised and runs better than Attilia or Rome 2 which aren't cutting edge. If you buy via steam you can always refund if it doesn't work or you can be really cheeky and buy via steam to test it, if it works refund it and buy from a cheaper location.

Chubberson Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Playing through as Empire. Great troop variety. I have seen the negative reviews on the tactical depth but all the factions feel different and I would mostly disagree being a long time fan of the TW series. Anything lacking in gameplay like the lack of missile units in the vampire army will be patched (hopefully) and the races feel legit. Dwarves are mostly true to their word and make good allies/trade partners (don't trust men easily) whilst I have had one manling trade partner show up on Altdorfs door with a full stack demanding money and war with another faction. Luckily Karl Franz and another army where within striking distance (albeit just) so the Empire is now at war with Middenhiem. Stuck between the castles garrison and the two relieving armies, the Reiksguard knight swept around the rear of the enemy host (mostly swordsman) while the spears took the charge in guard. Karl Franz and his warrior priest slew Richter and we now march on Middenhiem's capital. I'm absolutely loving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
Captain Thorrek Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 VC are like Chaos if I remember right, in that they don't have missile troops (chaos dwarf cannon aside), and rely on magic to get their point across. Their magic is real good. especially when you form a unit behind one engaged in combat, then Danse Macabre slam it into the engaged unit. Zany antics will ensue.
