Medieval 2 Exploits, Tips and Tricks - How to Get Better at Medieval 2: Total War

[@joshmcirish352]

Attack castles first, and then cities. Cities don't provide as good troops as Castles, and you can hold a castle better.

[@Tome36]

unless your playing milan or venice then you can get very good heavy cav and even heavy inf from cities

[@90Rush]

Some of them I thought are common knowledge. Here is one that I frequently use. If you attack an enemy with a reinforcement, the tile you are attacking is going to be the battleground. And the reinforcement is going into the battleground through the corner based on its position relative to the tile. With that, you can easily predict where reinforcements are going to appear and intercept the reinforcement - I like to attack the smaller army of the two and intercept the bigger reinforcement. You can put infantry (some especially powerful options are like Muire in kingdoms) directly on the edge of the map to easily beat cavalry or archers and win even harder on horse archers. Or you can put archers and artillery near the edge of the map so when enemies appear one by one they are already peppered with arrows or blasted with artillery.

[@yourtotalwarmaster3635]

Yeah I use that all the time. Sometimes also to get a better terrain for myself

[@christianflores3437]

Make a video

[@bubbleezzz4942]

or you can get them excommunicated by allying papal states and forcing a papal army to fight against them as reinforcements

[@yourtotalwarmaster3635]

Yep that also works

[@aleaiactaest6503]

I like to pay the pope big bucks for using the "attack faction" diplomacy option.

[@sligacheese6470]

During a crusade? Not sure I follow you ?

[@danknight8787]

@@sligacheese6470 When you are allied to a faction and they are near to a battle you are having, they can (and usually will) go to help you, and if the pope (as your ally) was neutral he goes to war with the enemy he is helping you with. So, if the pope was any unit near a battle you are having against another catholic, he will go to war with said faction (as your ally). Any catholic faction at war with the pope is immediately excommunicated. I've used this before as HRE fighting Venice and Milan.

[@Zafersan]

that excommunication trick is hilarious

[@yourtotalwarmaster3635]

Yeah I agree haha

[@froggisme9003]

These exploits make me too powerful, I think my gameplay is somewhat ruined

[@yourtotalwarmaster3635]

Haha yeah they can make the game rly easy TBH

[@ArariaKAgelessTraveller]

Lol that 1st trick game me the ability to discover america a turn after it's available

[@xanders8100]

No need to get ambushed for me, the ai always sieges or attacks me whether they'll get excommunicated or not, the pope's warning may as well be the game telling me to take a three turn replenishment breather. lol

[@yourtotalwarmaster3635]

Well that just speeds it up I guess

[@All41135]

I hate how A.I always jams a bunch of it’s units against my one trying to storm the gates 😂

[@ddoomsday7313]

I dont consider the agent surrounding a cheat. Cuz assasins are hella bad in that game, not at the kingdoms expansions. And if u surround an army from 8 side and attack from another, they also evaporating. (At Venice u just need 2 units from the back and the whole enemy army will evaporate if they lost a siege

[@yourtotalwarmaster3635]

Well I guess its up to interpretation

how to get better at medieval 2: Total War Just get fucking better by practice

[@sligacheese6470]

Medieval total war 2 should have used different voices for generals and governors on the world map. Instead of the same voice for everything? Other than that I love the game. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Don't follow any of these tricks. It makes the game boring. Too easy, the AI on maximum difficulty is beyond boring.

No problem

[@farmermike9262]

does anyone know how battle mechanics work for attack/defense values?

[@yourtotalwarmaster3635]

Im not sure what you are asking

[@Dr.CaveCurinas]

@@yourtotalwarmaster3635 I think he is asking what the attack/defense stats on a unit mean. When a unit with 10 attack hits a unit with 15 defense, what happens?

[@yourtotalwarmaster3635]

@@Dr.CaveCurinas I think some of it is luck but of course if you have a bigger attack and he has a small defense then you are more likely to wound/kill enemy

[@firtik1740]

Why would you want to play a game by ruining it like this? If you think its too hard, go for easier difficulties. If this is not enough, use cheats. There is no difference.

[@SilencerGDA]

I'm not sure if forced sally out works on definite edition.

[@yourtotalwarmaster3635]

They do. This was recorded on it

[@SilencerGDA]

@@yourtotalwarmaster3635 Strange I'm trying this with Poland attacking Thorn and it dosent seem to work. I split my general and rest of the army nearby and the garrison doesnt sally out. Same thing with Prague.

[@SilencerGDA]

I even had only general sieging and no sally.

[@yourtotalwarmaster3635]

@@SilencerGDA the reinforcing army has to ve on the opposite side of the sieging one

[@SilencerGDA]

@@yourtotalwarmaster3635 Ah I see. In this case I've managed Prague to sally out, but can't do that with Thorn, since there are only 2 sieging zones. I wonder how LegendOfTotalWar in his hot seat campaign managed to attack with only 32% chance of spy opening the door and simply attacking straight on the same turn as the siege.

[@dannyalex5866]

How you can use the movement bug without use a crusade or jihad?

whats the thing about 85%? not clear

[@yourtotalwarmaster3635]

What do you mean?

[@josephliotino772]

When attacking an army outside the city/castle or an army within the city/castle, if you kill off at least 85% of the force, including the general, than the city will be vacant with no defenders left, this then allows you to enter the city/castle and occupy it

This is not getting better, this is basically cheating.

[@stevecooper7883]

I don't think of the surrounding enemy agent as cheating since it seems like the army is surrounding a wanted man and he can't slip away this time

[@shoopoop21]

I remember there was an exploit to copy the experience level of higher level units onto other units/recruits of the same type. Am I crazy? I feel like there was some way to to get one card to lv 9, and then use it to recruit high level units of the same type.

there's a an actual game mechanic to switch retinue over from general to general. it was also in RTW.
