Let the swords and spears do the talking for diplomacy, trample men underfoot of the charging calvary take Europe over.
The graphics of the game are superb highly detailed. Each unit has someone looking different. Also the campain map is nicely done.
The sounds of the game is ok. But I love the battle noise, steel on steel.
Men dying and the thunder of hoves of the horses as they charge.
When I first played the game I was overwhelmed by the graphics and extra units. But as I got into it I enjoyed every moment from getting England conquring the main bulk of Europe and crusading.
The battle map I have found to be unbeliveable from the battle movements the personal battles between two men, the blood staning the ground.
I have found that the defending the walls to be alot of fun getting 6 units of archers defending and my mele troops behind the gates of where the siege towers or ladders go.
But I do find that as the game goes along it takes longer and longer for the computer to takes it turn. I have turn off " See computer movement" but I perfer to see what it is doing.
But I have recommended this game to my friends and family.
