Total War: Medieval II

Total War: Medieval II for Android is the fourth installment in Creative Assembly’s popular and award-winning strategy game series. As the name suggests, the production takes the players to the turbulent times of the Middle Ages. Medieval II takes place between 1080 and 1530. The developers have focused on the reliability and accurate recreation of the realities of that period.

Players operate not only in Europe, but also in Central and South America (the fight against the Aztecs), as well as in the Middle East (Christian crusades for the return of the Holy Land).

Gameplay in Total War: Medieval II

A total of 21 playable factions are available, all of which differ, for example, in combat tactics. The number of units available is over 250, although not all of them are available from the start and some of them are unlocked as the campaign progresses (we get more experienced and better equipped units). The siege capabilities have also been expanded – now players can use new siege weapons (such as rams, catapults, etc.) and destroy walls with heavy artillery. As for economic, trade and political dependencies, the developers have made sure that they are historically accurate.

As in the previous two installments of the Total War series, the gameplay of Medieval II is divided into two parts: turn-based (management of our provinces, economic development and preparation of major campaigns) and real-time (command units in battle). In the latter, players can see the fruits of the labor of Creative Assembly artists.

Technology in the game

Medieval II: Total War for Android runs on a modified and improved version of the engine used in Rome: Total War . Up to 10 thousand units can take part in one battle, as in the previous parts of the series, although their visual quality reaches new heights. The developers took care of the uniqueness of each fighter (different armor, weapons, coats of arms, poses, faces, etc.), prepared more than a thousand new animations using motion capture technology and introduced a new building damage system. All of the above undoubtedly makes the gameplay more realistic and allows the player to feel as if they are really participating in an epic medieval battle.
