Thus far most of the screenshots on this forum seem to be used as arguements for why CA is stupid. The torch thing, the AI running around like a headless chicken during sieges... So, I figure its time we had a thread full of entertaining screenshots :P This is one of my favorites from my...

It seems that a lot of people have been experiencing problems patching to v1.2 Unfortunately, the patch installer seems to fail if you've edited any files from the original install. What this means is that anyone who has, for example, edited the descr_strat file to unlock all the factions...

1) Are they still buggy after the patch? 2) What are they good against? 3) How to defeat cavalry using England?
Hey. So I've seen threads around here a while ago on how to create family members in the Total War games, especially in Rome and Medieval 2. But now I can't find any of them? Does anyone have a good guide for creating new family members in Medieval 2 total war? Like if, let's say, I wanted to...
Which units is the best in this categories? 1) Anti-Cavalry 2) Anti-Infantry 3) Anti-Missile i' am playing as Spain for the first time
I am a stickler for completing and I have read all the info on Americas as Apache I am good with the sucking up to Spain Idea to get them to change their capital and then trading for Cuba. However, I need to get the Cochimi and the only way is with move character cheat I have tried every...
I've gone through roughly 100 (give 10 or take 5) of the 172 pages of posts and I can't figure out why my children can't partake in incest in order to provide my faction heir with children. Does this only work in 1.3 vanilla? Or is incest only possible with the eastern european countries?:dizzy2: ...
After helping out in A Nerd's money thread I have realised that I may have a talent when it comes to making money. My talent, however, is only down to my gaming syle and not to supreme genetics. In yet another campaign I am struggling to keep under the fifty thousand corruption threshold. ...
In my current campaign, all my generals are coming of age with around 4 rings of loyalty or so. My king has maxed out dread and authority, 4 stars and I don't remember his piety. I was just wondering why my generals loyalty is so low and how to increase it. Perhaps it's due to the loyalty of the...
I wish there was a search to see if someone else has posted this: Am I the only one who has noticed that even after the Mongols settle in one spot, a lot of their unit roster never gets an upkeep value? It just remains at zero? ...
Greetings everyone, I've been playing M2TW Kingdoms as the Principality of Antioch and noticed a strange bug it seems (it's been awhile since I played any total war games). In Mosul I have a Tourney Field which gives +2 valor bonus for knights recruited there and St John's Headquarters which...
Playing as England H/H. By way of background things had been going steadily and well. In the West I have the British Isles, Iberia, Scandinavia and most of France as well as Northern Germany. In the East I have a very reasonable, if somewhat under-developed empire centered on Antioch and Acre. I...
Join Vassals & Valour! Vassals & Valour is a TW: RPG played with MII:TW. In it players take on the of a general within the game, cooperating together to expand the Kingdom while plotting against each other to seize the most spoils. In contrast to it's predecessors, V&V uses the console and the...
So recently returned again to MTW2... Playing as HRE, on Medium. Having a blast. Ruling Europe. Then the friggen Mongols invade Russia. And I'm holding Kiev. Had 3-4 fully upgraded, top-tier mixed unit stacks waiting for them. (and lots more en route) For crissakes!!! My hardened...
What is the deal with so many armor piercing weapons? Some of the choices make sense, like poleaxe type things, cleaving style polearms, warhammers, heavy x-bows, higher end longbowmen and firearms. However some of the choices are really off the wall. Almost every non-sword/spear hand...
Hello! What would you say are the least interesting regions/cities/castles for you in Medieval 2 Total War? I'm thinking on general terms now... because it's obvious that it differs from faction to faction what regions you would want to control. Are there any regions you have actually never...
Enough about which faction is better or which one is the worst to use. How about talking about which one is the faction you LUV to eliminate. I would Definitely Say I like taking out HRE and Timurids... at least they provide some challenge in the game.
Whilst they have some cracking infantry the Scots lack in almost every other department. Their "best" archer is the noble variety and whilst they are handy, especially on the walls, they do not compare with anybody else's top missile unit. Their cities do not even produce archer militia. Border...
This may not sound understandable. I apologize. Here's my example: (it's true by the way:laugh4:) So I'm playing as the English right? I finally got a pattern to go when a new pope is elected, I assassinate him. My first weird moment is when I miss him 3 times when the success rate was 95% each...
Hello, I just noticed that in the French unit roster there are three night units with very similar stats; chivalric knights, noble knights, and lancers. I believe they all have identical attack, charge, and secondary weapon stats. Lancers have slightly less defense since they lack a shield. I was...
Hello, I started playing M2TW just recently. I had long heard about various bugs with two-handed weapons and pikes and this seems to still be the case. I have vanilla M2TW with the 1.2 patch. Is there any updates that will fix these problems, say another patch or Kingdoms, or will I have to look to...
ok, i pretty much always play with Western European factions, and lately ive been messing about with the "other" europeans, Russia, Poland and with the muslim factions, and i dont have an answer for the heavily armored foot soldiers. they slice through my armies before i am developed enough to have...
I like the concept of MTW2, but I have been playing Civ4 too long. I cannot find any way to make MTW2, only show me the armies and the cities that need attention, THIS turn. In Civ, you can put an army to sleep. And otherwise cycle through stacks that need orders. In MTW2, there is no...
Ok good all factions are destroyed but the rebels: easy. Now what about the Papal States? All the troops are defeated, I killed the pope (successful assassination thank God:laugh4:) but it still says the Papal States are alive. I'm aware that inquisitors are part of the P.S. but when i kill all of...
So do I just get an army together, board a ship and sail to were ever the pope tells me to invadec or is there more to it?
The thread title says it all. :) do you like the thrill of a direct clash or do you prefer a wall standing between you better?
I receive gifts from the pope and from the council of nobles. What enhance them to gift me? Anyone knows ? Pls tell me. Thanks, IA:laugh4:
Greetings ya'll. I've recently picked M2TW and I'm having a blast as England. However, both both roleplay and practical reasons I'm trying to marry my adopted line with the actual family bloodline. According to what I've read in the manuel, this should be possible, but I've yet to figure it out. Is...
Does the victory conditions of each faction affect the aggressiveness of respective factions and their tendency of allying other factions? Hoping for responds
