I recently revisited M2TW and it has genuinely aged so well. It's not the most complex or historically accurate or graphically impressive, but damn, nothing beats pulling off a heroic victory against impossible odds or restoring Rome as the Byzantines.
i just hate playuíng as the byzantins case they have so shitty basic infantry and i play aggressive so that on every other nation i have like halfe the world concerd.
Fun Crusade exploit: The turn before the city is taken, have as many generals as you can join the crusade. The next turn, assuming the crusade is successful, every unit/general will receive experience and some generals may get permanent buffs to their skills or retinue. I think you also get money based on how many units join, but I don't know how that calculation works.
this is my FAVORITe strategy game. I spent HOURS playing this in highschool, had the map on my wall above the computer. Loved starting as Scotland, crusading to the middle east ,and taking over the world from Jerusalem
I used to just play Russia, put all my troops on the boat and take a new city somewhere across the map and just start from there, horrible strat but from the nostalgia I’m tempted to do it again 😂
Heated shot was a thing for early cannons. Being hit by a big Iron ball was painful, being hit by a big RED HOT Iron ball must have been so much worse, especially on wooden ships.
I remember installing Pope from my country crusading half the europe for 5 years just to end up exocummnicated and being crusaded by the other half of europe. 10/10
not only that his helmet is a Sallet. not made till 1407 and the one he has looks advanced so probs like 1460 1500 good 400 years out of date. its like Henry the 8th having a maxim machine gun.
Yknow the one thing i never learned to do in this game is dupe the AI with diplomacy, it took me so fucking long to kill the french with the Pope on my ass
Oh I know what happened with the Danish. The AI gives attack orders and then doesn't change them when diplomatic statuses change. What i remember doing is plonking a single trash unit one tile outside so the path would get interrupted and new orders given, to save them form their own stupidity.
still want medieval 2 remaster if they don't make medieval 3 in the next 5 years. modding is so good and they should have learn from the unsucessful rome remastered
I had a try with this earlier in the year, also with an English campaign. Damn French grew out of control and I needed to conquer half of Spain before I'd finally finished the garlic munchers off.
Haven't played unmodded Medieval II in a while, but I will say I still think it looks better than the updated Rome Remastered. It's the most fun I have in total war games and is the first game I ever bought on steam. Still weird to me that the game that took me a real life week to download back in 2012 has never had a sequel despite it being almost 20 years later.
Cultures come and go. The descendants diverge from their ancestors. It's just the way of things. Just like species. Neanderthals are extinct. They were bred out of existence. Their genetics still exist within a lot of homo-sapiens, but they're still gone.
@@owlblocksdavid4955 their culture is extinct though, oh and they didnt breed with the invaders, they adopted the culture of the upper class because they were being oppressed
@qhu3878 no, there's definitely mixed ancestry of Celtic and Saxon among Englishmen. They weren't all exterminated, nor did they adopt English culture and just become English (modern Englishmen aren't just Celts that adopted Saxon customs).
Didn't play as Denmark...
Ok
My favorite quote about the faction. "With enough armor piecing to defeat a skynet invasion."
Where is the rat bo?
@@edwarddragonblood8749 That video is legendary
Oh look we got the Snake of Denmark here 🐍
Dare i say it, Planet War.
Dare I say, yes please.
Please ISP
I think someone was saying the mods dev was *interesting* and added some racist stuff into it
@@Dameyer cool ima dl it now
YES!!! BRING IT BACK!
10:46 Then he turned himself into a mortar! Funniest shit I've ever seen!
I’m mortar riiiiiiick

@ really?? in my experience the only AI faction that really gives me trouble are the italian ones. everyone else is pretty easy to figure out
Its by engine far better than any other TW and the main reason why every TW after it has been garbage with the exception of TW Warhammer
@@werwie7902Byzantines are easy to play with. They have lots of cavalry/cav archers plus a core of spearmen to smash any AI army.
third age total war: divide & conquer is best mod (from someone with 100s of hours into vanilla, SS, EB, Tsardoms, Elder Scrolls & BOTET)

There's a time limit to joining crusades so you cant do this 50% of the time.

me too! it's a timeless classic

The great Russian migration
take rome and become the third rome
Russia's start is genuinely terrible, Just yeeting yourself over to Denmark or even London and relocating your capitol is a legit strat
This looks like an interesting Crusader Kings mod
there's an EU4 mod that has you open and play every land battle in Empire: Total War lmao
@@ethnetomek3621 theres the same thing for ck3, I forget which game the battles are in tho
@@ethnetomek3621that’s sick, do you know what it’s called?
7:06 as an avid medieval 2 fan, Milan being and absolute anus is no suprise to me
" - Denmark. Our mortal enemy. "
Tell'em Daddy!!!
4:27 The Pope making you hire a priest for your chapel is heresy. The Pope is the one who's supposed to choose what priests go where.
I suppose it is the game's way of communicating 'the Pope has decided this priest will go there, make sure it actually happens or he'll be angry'".
@@peperoni_pepino That makes sense.
It's the "Investiture Controversy" but in reverse.
Heated shot was a thing for early cannons. Being hit by a big Iron ball was painful, being hit by a big RED HOT Iron ball must have been so much worse, especially on wooden ships.
we are so back even attila returned to see the video
"taking my anger out on the irish" a classic from england! jolly good!
ISP NEEDS to play the funny Medieval 2 mod, you all know the one.
No I don't. I don't play M2
Which one ? I never played with mods and I’m curious
thank you so much i was hoping you would return to medieval 2 some day soon and you uploaded this thank you mister gravy
I remember installing Pope from my country crusading half the europe for 5 years just to end up exocummnicated and being crusaded by the other half of europe. 10/10
One step closer to Planet War
2:38 That is 100% what soldiers looked like in 1067, full plate armour.
not only that his helmet is a Sallet. not made till 1407 and the one he has looks advanced so probs like 1460 1500 good 400 years out of date. its like Henry the 8th having a maxim machine gun.
I loved the small little vids when agents do something. I really miss those things in the newer games
Blessed by the 2 videos a year ISP releases for total war
Actual nostalgia… in November…. Incredible.
Love when you upload makes my day much better PS i miss the rat
Aahh, Khan "Please Clap" Jebe the Mauler. Afraid he never did live up to big bro Genghis "W" Kahn. X'3
A good way to make the pope love you in this is to just constanly send him money. Much like they did IRL
Yknow the one thing i never learned to do in this game is dupe the AI with diplomacy, it took me so fucking long to kill the french with the Pope on my ass

That moment when he hasn't got the fix for the diplomacy bug... Ah, bugged medieval 2 is best medieval 2
BABE, SORROW FINALLY PLAYED MEDIEVAL 2 AFTER YEARS
IS IT A COINCIDENCE THAT ISP UPLOADS THIS THE DAY I BUY MEDIEVAL 2
yes
Alf Landon foretold it.
Ah, Milan doing Milan things and casually declaring war on everyone who breathes.
This just proves that if Poland had taken over the steppe the Mongols would've been defeated earlier
I had a try with this earlier in the year, also with an English campaign. Damn French grew out of control and I needed to conquer half of Spain before I'd finally finished the garlic munchers off.
Fun Fact: Mediaval 2 is featured in a german high school history book
I love all the cutscenes with the agents back then 😂
Isorrow is on medieval 2!!!!! I thought I was the only one
Finally more total war
for 1 mil you need to play total war warhammer 3 as the skaven to satisfy our rat desires
You should totally try the Total War Medieval 2 Tsardom mod!
One day we ~~wont~~ get a good sequel to this
Still one of my favorite games
The Lord of the Rings mod for this game is actually pretty good too
The snakes of Denmark have deep roots it seems.
Fun fact, greg wallace likes playing total war
Bro, the mobile port holds up. I have hundreds of hours, IN THE MOBILE PORT.
Med 2 is just the best
Empire Total War 2 when
not sure i want it nowadays considering the overpriced slop that CA keeps releasing
Should play this with the deus vult mod!
It makes it even challenging to take out the rebels.
we are so back
"you have pressed the guard mode button for the first time"
Mod scene in M2TW is unparalleled, exceeds everything Creative Assembly has tried since.
I really want to play Medieval II now instead of working on my thesis. Oh no...
Isp NEEEDSSSS to play March Of The Eagles again.
Haven't played unmodded Medieval II in a while, but I will say I still think it looks better than the updated Rome Remastered. It's the most fun I have in total war games and is the first game I ever bought on steam. Still weird to me that the game that took me a real life week to download back in 2012 has never had a sequel despite it being almost 20 years later.
If you think you can escape calls for the Rat in M2TW you are sorely mistaken.
MTW2 is the best by far the one i always go back to plus all the dlc’s well worth it
The best total war game.
The only other opinion i'll accept is shogun 2
Mom... Dad!!? Did you buy a new laptop... and actually exist?
Why didn't you show off the new world?? I loved dunking on the aztecs with arquebusiers.
cant wait for empire next
God bless the medieval FOLK
It wasn't very good, but variety is a spice of life
Well, when are you going to play Star Wars Empire at War?🤔
oh my god, his is playing a map game with actual gameplay. How are such things possible?
BASED
2:29 A reminder that the Britons of what is now England (minus Cornwall) are extinct.
Not exactly, they just bred with the invaders
Cultures come and go. The descendants diverge from their ancestors. It's just the way of things. Just like species.
Neanderthals are extinct. They were bred out of existence. Their genetics still exist within a lot of homo-sapiens, but they're still gone.
Culturally and linguistically, yes. But technically they went on to conquer a quarter of the planet, only under a germanic culture and language
@@owlblocksdavid4955 their culture is extinct though, oh and they didnt breed with the invaders, they adopted the culture of the upper class because they were being oppressed
@qhu3878 no, there's definitely mixed ancestry of Celtic and Saxon among Englishmen. They weren't all exterminated, nor did they adopt English culture and just become English (modern Englishmen aren't just Celts that adopted Saxon customs).
SOMETHING OTHER THAN HOI4 YESSSSS!!!!!!!
You can make a return to the Rimworld right ? Rat empire perhaps (i can oil up if you want. Perfect deal)
I think his answer to this is a resounding *"no"*
@@qhu3878 remember what Diddy said
"Never take a no"
Loved it!
Haven't played this in a long time
I'm surprised at the graphics..and I remember medieval 2 being easy to mod, while Empire was not 😅
bro we are NOT getting another historical total war mod 😂😂😂
Palpatine’s gambit hoi4 mod vid when
only thing i hate about MTW2 is the - complete - disconnect between the diplomacy AI and the rest of the AI.
What about the planet war mod?
March of the Eagles A-Z when
To be honest, you need a Very high IQ to understant Rick and Mortar
PLANET WAR!
favourite total war game is rome total war. obviously because it is the best
Okay. Hear me out. Ballista only Medieval 2 world conquest. You're lucky, I didn't say "catapult only" btw.
PLANET WAR OR BUST
I love this game :D
Isnt there a bug in the code that makes everyone hate you tho? Im pretty sure. (well a spelling error rly)
Step 1 booting up medieval 2:
Select my nation.
Step 2:
Get everyone on boats and invade Britain.
You can conquer the whole map in 1 turn, if you use all exploits.
Mostly boat exploits.
Forgot to explore the new world smh
I want medieval 3 so bad…
Empire TW is best IMO
agree
The only Total War game with true chemical warfare.
when the war sus (total mortyius)
Captain Fantino world conquest when?
ISP walked so that Fantino could ren.
WE NEED PLANET WAR EPISODE 3
Shogun 2 next please
Wait, this isn't the slop channel.
Can you do a holy Roman empire playthrough,
Rick and Mortar. FFS ISP lol
Erm............ EMPIRE
Must... planet war
I miss those little spy and assassin cut scenes. They were a blast!
I love this game
Day 462 demanding ISP to form Mongolian empire with generic focus tree and minimal mods.
Where is the RAT
When will the mega campaign start
