Seems the original ambitious scope has become a bit more realistic which is great. Rampaned is super enthusiastic about how progress is being made and honestly, the battle map that I've showed here is just so impressive. If you want to find out more click on all the relevant links in the video description! Plenty to go of course but what a brilliant effort to make the Medieval 3 we've all dreamed of. Thanks for watching guys & subscribe for more just like this!
If Rome 2 is anything to go by they will remove all the best features from the original and replace them with shitty ones nobody wants but graphically it'll look good.
Rampaned Is the pinnacle example of what we should all be. It's one thing to critique, It's another to be the change you want to see and Rampaned is being his own change. He should be commended and protected.
Reducing the scale to just British isles was a good decision as scope creep is the big killer of these sort of projects. If they ever get to the point of having a playable game, then they can start thinking about expand things since there would be a framework in place to work with. For now, just building the engine and mechanics is way more important than having a large amount of content. I've seen too many projects gets lost in making content before they even have something to plug that content into.
@@afisto6647 Well, I can't speak for the developers, but some good reasons are. No land area's cut off by the map because the British Isles are surrounded by water. Good history of conflict and invasions so plenty of points of history to choose from. Only a few fractions to juggle at any point in time, so naturally small scope. Familiar well recorded setting. While you may want a more exotic setting, or a larger scope, the bendifits to sticking with something constrained and familiar better ensure the project actually makes progress. And like I said, if they actually get to the point of having a working engine and mechanics, they can expand the map to the rest of Europe and beyond. In fact, I'm pretty sure that is the intention here, since the guy wants to basically make MTW3.
Best wishes to Rampaned and the team but currently this doesn't look like much past a passion project. As much as I wish they succeed it's not going to be easy and if there is no budget behind it there's a high chance that nothing will come of it.
Something I really hope that they keep is the fact that tou have diplomats on the map and you need to control them. Also asking for map information and such. Really shows the real fog of war that there was in the Medieval period.
I’m gonna be honest, I want to see a Medieval 3 with the town system of ToB - I really liked ToB since it gave you victories along the path to taking a city rather than “city is yours you now own half of Scotland”. Idk it just felt more interesting - giving you small victories on the path to larger ones.
ToB was one of the best TW, despite all the hate. I felt the food, supply and recruitment systems were pretty accurate, as was the common event of good and capable generals rebelling because they werw good and capable. I felt it was hard to get the steamroll going and the campaign were m9re interesting longer. I wish they'd have expanded the map to include scandinavia, spain and n. France but oh well
@@tkdjimmyify Literally everything you said I agree with, especially with the shield wall update which made population a thing. So you were quite literally rewarded for not invading people all the time with more workers to make more money.
@@tkdjimmyify Imma be honest I do think it’s just that players have expectations for what TW games will look like - and any change from the baseline TW Rome or TW Med2 is seen as objectively bad. Even if they improve the game such as in ToB where the game gives a far more immersive experience. I mean you mentioned rebellious generals, fucking Grand Tactician got praised for having generals disobey you if they were either really good or really bad. Why is it now suddenly taboo?
@@flyingsquirrell6953 yeah, I think there's a large element of that and the inclusion of WH really changed the style too. I enjoy it, but WH combat mechanics seem really bad sometimes. And the rock paper scissors class stuff gets old.
If you like a hardcore and more realistic version of tw with like unit recruitment and that then Tob is a good campaign, if you're like me and don't have 2 hours to spare recruitment/replenishing units and just want get on and fun with massive battles and seiges it's pretty lame, best battles in the series though can't argue against that
Looks great. My only concern (and this is my bad take on the game/indie industry as a whole) I just wish we could get a true spiritual successor to the early era of TW games with engine 1 and 2. But because of this worrying ongoing obsession with needing bloated budgets and everything needing to be HD and pretty it makes the actual gameplay and battles suffer(in TW's case). I was playing rome2 recently and I've taking a liking to playing on potato mode because I like the ugly low lod units from bird eye's view, it has a charm to it. And because of the 20-stacks you're always capped to in these games you could never truly experience titanic battles of antiquity without mods that'll probably break the experience(and your PC). Songs of Syx and Dominions had the right idea with crusty 2d sprites, but there's no real contemporary equivalent. I do have Med2, shogun1 and both rome1s but haven't tried touching the romes yet or shogun. I wish gamers and devs alike could appreciate crusty graphics but it'll never happen.
I agree. Seeing the detailed model of the head in this video slightly concerned me, because that should have a very low priority in this project. I wouldn't even mind seeing M2TW's graphics. You can achieve a lot with the amount of polygons that M2TW models have in combination with good textures. I would be much more interested in the game mechanics, getting rid of the 20 units limit and what not.
give it time france is there this is clearly a massive project they're likely focusing on britain for now and getting it properly detailed we dont need something thats as big as an ocean and deep as a puddle
It does look amazing. As independents they should ask some modders. I always recommend Schwerpunkt, mostly because of his expertise in Medieval, prior experience in Total War and the enormous work on TH-cam. There's a series called historical military units that delves pretty much in depth into the specifics of arms and armaments details, production, employment that I strongly recommend. Keep up as always with the great job, I want to know more about this project's development
Here is the latest: "Yesterday gained 3 achievement in COH2 Southern Fronts remarkably two for the Soviets and 1 for Osteers,+ 3 achievements yet to acquire Osteers."
Thank You Terminator for sharing this video of the Renaissance project with us. You are a class act sir and one of my favorite TH-cam channels! I have been wanting Medieval 3 for a very long time now. However, I'm not very optimistic about the direction that CA and The Total War games have taken... In my heart I'm still wishing that they will appreciate the original history based gamers that were with them throughout the best year's of Total War. All we can do is continue to show them that this is a serious desire of the Total War community and hopefully they will realize that a masterpiece like Medieval Total War 3 would be their crowning achievement of glory!
I just hope they give every unit a named/ with his own stats commander with ability to be promoted to a general after some heroic victory like in Medieval 1...it added so much connection and individuality to your units not just no name self regenerating blobs like in Warhammer etc...plus if they could mimic M1 artistic design/ music it would be massively atmospheric
Glad they downsized the scope to just Britain. Darth started with Gettysburg and expanded his scale as he got success and profits. Over ambition could cause a disappointing crash and burn.
though i understand the idea of reducing the scale of debut campaign to British islands, its still somewhat sad. if dev would stated it at start noone would argue about it. My only hope is this project goes well and maybe map expansion in future..
Lmao! We’re gonna get a few updates over the next few years then it will disappear and we’ll never hear from it again. The reason total war games are so difficult to make is because of the scope. Small teams can make it, but it ain’t going to be good.
It's already happening. The only progress they made in the last 6 months is talking about it, with some minor progress on secondary stuff, as art. Meanwhile the most important stuff for this kind of games: the code, is not even started, as far as I see. Basically, they only got the "blah blah blah" and nothing more
Hi Terminator, really appreciate someone covering these indie projects. Can you kindly pass my comment onto these modders, if they're putting so much effort into building something that Creative Assembly owns, why not create their own commercial game. Just like Manor Lords, there's a massive community growing these days that are happy to support these indie projects. I think the community is really tired of the Total War Series being focus solely on Warhammer and pumping out games i.e. Pharaoh nobody really asked for or wants. Every patch for TW Warhammer breaks the game, and the DLC's honestly suck, modders create mods that provide 3x the content/units and provide it for free. I wish they would go and create Rome 3, Shogun 3 or Medieval 3... all really good titles.
Am I the only one who feels this project might get into nowhere? Sorry to bring your hopes down but I'm afraid that some people want to make profit from our community, who is desperate for a Medieval 3
Manor lords has shown the power of an early Access game driven by a single core dev. Total war have lost my trust to make a medieval 3 and I would fully support an indie dev in making a spiritual successor to MTW2
@@Moose808 it also showed it takes an immense amount of time to get to a playable state. 1 guy making a total war is just as ambitious. at least 5 years of continuous development willt be required.
I can’t believe that Creative Assembly have gone crazy and are making some useless Sagas! 🙄😟but they don’t engage in a full-fledged strategic game! and in the meantime, modders, for example, turned Attila into a good game about the Middle Ages! I’m still playing for England and will soon start for the Kingdom of Jerusalem! this is incredible! It’s as if we live separately and the developers have a separate life! and they don’t understand who they are making games for! for Martians probably! 😂🤨This is idiocy and cretinism on their part! honestly, I don’t understand these idiots! what are they doing!😬
@TheTerminator great news my friend, I want to get in contact with you I've some diplomacy ideas that i wanted to share with you to deliver to modders and CA as well if possible I found it glorious and doable I think and would add so much depth

In the original medieval 2, the Middle East and even Africa was just sidelined as like a backwater will it be the same for this one I hope not
God I hope they make a total war Medieval III similar to 2 but better in every way..
Good luck, CA doesn't make games like that anymore. Your best bet is 1212AD mod for Attila.
It would just have to be a graphical update with intergrated mods.
There's a higher chance of an obese man with a white beard swinging down your chimney with a bag of things you wished for throughout the year.
If Rome 2 is anything to go by they will remove all the best features from the original and replace them with shitty ones nobody wants but graphically it'll look good.

Ooh knowing theyre focusing on the British isles first should mean it'll be highly detailed!
I'll be playing as Ireland for sure 😃
This is actually very impressive, the kind of innovations that CA should have been doing.
Unfortunately , the hardest part is going to be the AI and soldiers. Thats why most pf these games never amoubt to anything. Its increibly hard
A lot for it to come, I hope North Africa and Al Andalus gets good stuff too.
Glad they downsized the scope to just Britain. Darth started with Gettysburg and expanded his scale as he got success and profits.
Over ambition could cause a disappointing crash and burn.
