You're making me want to play the game again! Shame I don't have time at the moment. Perhaps over the christmas holidays ...
Anyone with an interest in medieval field battles should take a look at Mitra's videos. The 'Clash of Steel' series linked to in the quote below demonstrate the scale XIII Century: Blood or Glory can offer.

If someone is interested to XIII Century Blood of Europe (GOld Edition in the Aspyr edition), he's sold at 20,99 euros in Steam. Applying manually the patch 2.2.1, after the steam installation (here the link to patch, http://www.totalgamesitalia.com/xiii...html#post2944; is compose by two files, one with the patchs and the others with the english translation), you free the game from Steam control and limits.

Is there a campaign similar to total war or just a series of battles?
It's a series of historical battles. Difficult battles - you really have to work to win.
There's a multiplayer mode as well. Not played it but IIRC you can set up custom battles. I don't recall if custom battles are possible for the single player game.
EDIT: I've changed the thread's title so it includes XIII Century as well, since there's a lot of content here for that game. Might attract a bit more attention.
