![]() ![]() Which means you’ll be fighting a crusade almost as soon as the game starts (depending on how expansionist you decide to play). Not only that, but you’ll also have to deal with most of your enemies being Catholic. There’s a simple reason: the Pope despises you from the beginning. So then wat’s the issue with the HRE, and why isn’t it at the top of my list, you ask? I’d even go as far as to say that an HRE playthrough is the best one for the sheer fact that every single time feels different. You’ll also start in the middle of the damn map, which means that you get to choose where you want to expand towards. You’ll be starting off the campaign with a grand 6 territories, giving you a huge chunk of Europe to deal with, and to truly rebuild the Roman Empire of old (even with their historical differences – I know). I mean, if you’re really looking for the most well-rounded faction in terms of economy, territories, units, and power, I think there’s no better faction to choose than the Holy Roman Empire. You can pick up a new faction and still make it a useful one, without caring too much about their buffs or disadvantages, for the sheer fact that these factions didn’t have as many differences as they do in the newer games (particularly post Empire).īut let’s look into some of the differences, or at least some of the unique features that they all offer. There’s been enough time for you to master the game if you’re a veteran but, if you’re new to Medieval II, you’re going to love what you’re about to read.įriendly Disclaimer For Newer Players: Factions here don’t have the same level of diversity that they do in newer games. So let’s list out and rank all the Medieval II: Total War factions, to help you get a good grasp of what they offer and where to start a new campaign. I do hope our wait doesn’t become a case of Half-Life 3… I trust CA to never let us down like that.īut if we’re going back to play this classic then you may want some faction ideas for your next playthrough. And kept us eagerly awaiting the inevitable release of Medieval III, which quite frankly, is long overdue. This game marked a “before and after” era on the Total War games, which has shaped them to become what they are today. ![]() I’m sure that I’m not just saying this because of a weird case of nostalgia, either. The only bad thing about Maratha is that they have bad artillery while arti is basically the cheat weapon in TW:E.I will always stand by what I’ve always said: Medieval II is still the best Total War game ever made. the English, the Dutch and the Portugese will fight you but they often give up after you defeat one army of each. Maratha: the India faction is very strong, after you united India, they are a literally unstoppable money printing machine. Spain is still your biggest issue though. The Dutch has nearly uncontested water in Indochina, which should rain money if you can defend your sole city in Europe. Netherland: somehow is also filthy rich if you play the card right. But beyond their heartland, Spain's has a lot of isolated towns in Belgium, Italia and America, all vulnerable to various enemies. Their galleon warships dominate the ealry ocean and allow you to swim in money. They however will face very strong competition at sea by Spain - which is THE top dog. Brittain is also pretty rich and have access to sea - very important to a healthy economy in TW:E. ![]() Brittain: very secure location, none can land in their home yard.
