Which is the Best Middle-Age battles strategy game out there ?

Hello,

After reading now several books on the hundred year war and such, I came to the conclusion that I loved to play some games that never really intrigued me, namely the strategy games focused on medieval strategy warfare. I know there is Age of Empire's which I bought, but it just is not the same, I mean there you focus so much in advancing as fast as possible to the next Age Period, that you never really spend fighting with Knights and men-at-arms and such, you only focus about "Quick, get to the powder age so I have guns since the enemy already advanced there!!!".

What are some great games out there, only focused on medieval time peroods between 1300-1500, strategy games, that you think are worth buying for single player !!!

Thanks !

This. Medieval 2 Total War is fun. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't have more fun with the Stronghold games.
