More Sean Pertwee, too. Fantastic VO artist. He was one of my favorite aspects of Medieval.

He should have added in a "This is an age of darkness" around 0:26.

I thought politics weren't allowed outside the Backroom...
Hammer, anvil, forge and fire, chase away The Hoofed Liar. Roof and doorway, block and beam, chase The Trickster from our dreams.Vigilance is our shield, that protects us from our squalid past. Knowledge is our weapon, with which we carve a path to an enlightened future.

Wasn't trying to be political, just grabbing a video that has a lot of Sean Pertwee talking. Just ... uh ... ignore anything political he says. That's the ticket, yeah ...

MTW:
The immersion factor is what really did it for me. The combination of the subtle yet brilliant campaign music by Jeff van Dyck as well as the sober colours of the campaign map meant that even playing a campaign with AR battles was still incredibly enjoyed.
As other have mentioned, the fact that most battles were decisive. If a rebel army spawned you had to deal with it or lose an entire province - none of this annoying 2 unit rubbish rebel stacks that get ignored for 50 years because you couldn't be bothered fighting them.

Your comment below the vid is political, in case that was lost on you for some reason.
Re: Appreciation Of Total War games leading to Rome II
Ah, brilliant. You have such good taste in so many things.
More Jeff Van Dyck please.
Re: Appreciation Of Total War games leading to Rome II
Um, Lemur didn't *have* a comment below the vid. All he said in that post was:
Even if you're referring to drone's comment:that was merely a reference to narrator Sean Pertwee's first line in MTW's introduction video. It wasn't a political comment at all, I promise.He should have added in a "This is an age of darkness" around 0:26.
I would absolutely recommend it...however, the problem is the game doesn't play nicely with a lot of modern rigs (it seems to hate most video cards made after 2005). Happy is the gamer whose PC can still run MTW!

Total War...? They're still making those then...?
Everything after MTW/VI was crap, it all got very "gamey", very civilization and very "disney"...

No but seriously I've heard good things about NTW and S2:TW is nice although not really as grand, moddable or varied as M2TW.
The art of war, then, is governed by five constant
factors, to be taken into account in one's deliberations,
when seeking to determine the conditions obtaining in the field.
These are: (1) The Moral Law; (2) Heaven; (3) Earth;
(4) The Commander; (5) Method and discipline.

For S2TW: "Shameful dispray!" It's a rare thing to both loathe hearing a line (because of what causes its utterance) and love it (just because it's fun to hear) at the same time.
"St. Michael, Angel of Battle,
We praise you to God on high.
The foe you gave was strong and brave,
And unafraid to die."

Re: Appreciation Of Total War games leading to Rome II
Maybe that's why he's named "easytarget"? It's a possibility.
I pay more attention to the VO artists than I probably should. I get a little thrill every time I hear the guy in Shogun 2 tell me about the "shameful display."
