Hail ! Iv'e played all of the TW series ( including expansions ) from Shogun to Med 1 to Rome to the current Med 2 . To me their is always room for improvement & Activision & Creative Assembly ( Sega ) continue to move forward with the TW series. I hope many other great titles are planned for the future ? Med 2 TW is such a pleasure to play that I try to pencil in at lest 2-4 hours of gameplay a week. Sure I'm still learning and trying different strategies & by doing so have experienced many different outcomes. I find the best plan for great victories is clever diplomacy & tactical warfare. Developing your nations & expanding your trading options can also aid you in building your empire. Just beware who you trade with. Your decisions in the end determine outcomes that may change the course of history.... The artwork , environments & battle maps are wonderful & at times challenging which is how it should be. If your playing Med 2 TW for the first time make sure you download the patch to fix & update you game files. If you love this game or series then become a Total War Union recruit. Learn & discuss your TW victories, tactics, hints etc......with me and my fellow TW clansman.
