Oh yeah i remember hotseat campaign solo with 4 factions insanely fun me vs ai. But i wouldn't trade it with scripted solo campaign though if it enhances my gameplay enjoyment and I'm quite confident that in the last 5 years i played a lot of DaC and its sub mods than any of the historical Med 2 mods combined. I'm also guessing that in this year I'm going to play Med 2 and Kenshi again lets see if i manage to get another 1000 hours by the end of the year with both of those games.

Awesome build!

The Lego clone wars battles where peak.

Thanks for this video. Definitely going to give this mod a go.

Every video this guy he sound like the soyjack pointing at OMG CURRENT COOL THING PLEASE GIVE ME MONEYRINOS

I love the comparison between yhe two... I cant really run manor lords atm

dont forget to pray fo the children of palestine they are suffering from a total war .....reallyy

I will take either a Medieval 3 or a Medieval 2 remastered. Given recent CA offerings I almost would prefer the remastered Medieval 2. It has incredible potential.

I love this mod. Its simplicity and vanilla Style makes me enjoy creating lore to my own games, which I always find unique

Well... it started with 7 regions and ''small '' scale battles ( 1000 vs 1000 ) max. Know imagine that the map ( or the regions ) are the '' size '' of europe ( with the possibility of developing small cities , castles, etc ) and the battles go to 10 times or maybe 50 times more soldiers... fell sorry for the Total War team.. this game looks impressive.

If there is any medieval 2 remaster coming (which I doubt) I would pretty much ask the developers to add this as a grand campaign map or as a second campaign. For me this is the default vanilla Kingdoms grand campaign that every one should atleast try.

Keep in mind this is a city management game :)

Can I ask for a link to this mod?

Any tips on how to play this mod if you have M2TW on Mac Steam?

It is glorious

Does this mod fix the misc vanilla bugs? (Pike, 2-h animation, constant diplomatic malus, etc)

Hope content again?

Nice video. Thanks Andy! While I'm here, Hey CA if any of your staff are watching this channel, answer me this? Why do you hate money? A remastered Med 2 with full 8 player multiplayer campaign support would sell like hotcakes. Do you not have the programming skill to emulate an engine over the top of the core unit? Shame. It would not be hard or take much work. £20 retail on Steam. Full Steam mod access. 100 Thousand + copies sold right there.

Mods make these games come alive. Even the good versions get better with mods.

wow... today o learned that "hotseat campaing" was a thing...

There is an almost identical mod called Vanilla Kingdoms 2023, with even more vanilla style but all Kingdoms factions, units and buildings in grand campaign too. Absolutely recommended. Edit: as far as I see Vanilla Kingdoms map is smaller, it only adds a few extra cities in the Grand campaing to fit the other factions.

Guess what games are fun: western games. If non westerns want more flavour they should be making their shit. We be sufering from sucess lol.

I really dont know what to do, I ve git over 1.000.000 Gold and I m still having 7000-9000 gold per turn. (Did 1 Army per city (full with best units..) but I don’t know what to do with them 😂

Looks good, but did they solve the diplomacy bug where taking control of a new region makes everyone hate you more, and the 2 handed weapon bug ?

Shame you can't rename your factions

I think this is what I always wanted. Thanks for the video

You lost me at “a lot more cities to conquer and manage”. Why almost every single overhaul mod is obsessed with that idea that more conquering and managing is more better is beyond me.

I wonder if the Ai is not stupid. How you can play versus yourself? Autoresolve I wonder.

Do you really want a medieval 2 Remastered or medieval 3 ? I think med2 being settled and not getting a remaster is a better sendoff because modders are keeping it alive and well, plus it's not old to a fault like Rome 1 is, though don't chop me for saying that, I love Rome 1. Anyway, I hope you get my point. I'm sold on the mod btw it sounds like a great thing to get into before I prepare myself for stainless steel.

this video has hyped me up for medieval 2 remastered (if it ever releases)

Name of thé modd??

First

My understanding is that CA are so bloated and top heavy that any creative direction dies in the committee. I'm sure a huge number of staff would love to make these games, and just watch the directors walk to the board room, and come out, with zero developments agreed.

Ffx is by far my favorite video game ever! Everything about it is 🔥!

Total war Attila is my favourite in the series by far. It's just gone downhill from there. I honestly can't wait to see what this game looks like when it's done.

Man, the first thing you identify is IMO the BEST change they've made to the series. It made certain starts boring as hell. I basically couldn't play unmodded Medieval II because everyone started too strong.

seriously the online mode of the original COH is far better than this shite.

being an anno and a total war player, this game looks like something I've dreamt of.

I love the souls-like genre in general. I used to punish myself mentally for every minor failure I have in life. Those type of games help me develop a mindset that allowed me learn from failure rather than just drown in self pity. It gave me hope that as long as I persists I'll figure it out eventually.

So now I can win unwinnable wars in CK3 by cheesing the AI of Attila, awesome

on the topic of focused maps yes they are overall a more realistic experience i guess you could say i mean lets remember spain from medieval 2 , the reconquista lasted centuries while you can end it in a decade or lessby the time you get the knights of santiago there are no moors left to fight but i try my best to slow down my expansions for example in my current rome 2 campaign its the year 203 bc and i have only just advanced into raeti and helvetii lands

Should’ve kept the mission style they’ve always had. The constant open world felt rushed and basically nothing like the actual story.

Great I knew almost all of these already

My opinions on the ones I have played: - Empire : B tier I have to raise it up by one, it’s partially because it’s the first total war game I played perhaps and just didn’t miss the things it lacked. The main annoyance I had with it was a bit to much friendly fire with the guns. And the naval battles especially could sometimes just be a little better. But overall decent game. I feel this game period is about the latest time period that’s interesting as a total war game (historically at least after this battle tactics changed to much for the style of total war games I feel) - Medieval 2 : C Hate me for this 😅 just having only played this much much later I cannot deal with the UI tbh. It’s to outdated and even just a visual mod I feel would help a lot. Since people really seem to like it though I’m definitely going to give it another go (it’s been a bit since I last played as well) - Shogun 2 : D Ive not played this much but any time I played I quit pretty quickly. Maybe I’ll give it a try later again, but the setting isn’t my favourite either. - Rome 2 : A Easily my most played total war game, works one of the best with the system of total war I feel. It’s fairly close to how Rome historically used to divide their armies and really like how this game particularly works in battles. I wish it was even closer to realistic numbers but this would have likely been getting a bit hard to run on pc at the time. But to be fair with the large armies mode you do get pretty big already. There could be more features, the political system could be better, there is plenty of other improvements. But overall it’s pretty much my favourite one? Just really wish there was better information about the game as well. The wiki is not great, the in game linked site is also pretty empty. That is one downside I feel of total war games, when you go deeper then surface level you sometimes start noticing a decent amount of issues.

Booting up the game for the first time and having NO idea what to do, how to do it and even why the game is played at all. Thank you for this!
