Click to view larger image

Medieval II: Total War spans four and half centuries of the most turbulent era in Western history, from 1080 to 1530, encompassing the golden age of chivalry, the Crusades, the proliferation of gunpowder, rise of professional armies, the Renaissance and the discovery of America.

Players will embark on a Grand Campaign to take control of their kingdom and cultivate it into a continents-spanning empire using whatever it takes ‑ including diplomacy, trade, religion, espionage and of course war. Leading armies across Europe, the Middle East, and even the Americas, players will encounter brutal real-time battles and the pure bloodlust of medieval warfare. As players progress, they will shape their empires by strategically determining whether to build castles for military power or cities for technology and trade, giving Medieval II: Total War a more emergent depth of gameplay.
