    Default Medieval 3: Total War leaked pre-alpha footage

    I am so excited for this! Finally, we are getting Med 3. Here is a report from an unknown CA employee I received on my private e-mail late last night. (the name is obviously not his real name)

Here are some screenshots:




    So I don't know how to feel about this, but I am hopeful, considering that it is the first of the month after March.

    These are: (1) The Moral Law; (2) Heaven; (3) Earth;
    (4) The Commander; (5) Method and discipline.

    Nah, it's true. I heard from the same source that you'll be able to play as first-person agents too! Can't wait to sneak into a settlement and poison wells in first person

    lol, yup. April fools guys.
    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.

    I created it on a whim. We needed an April's fools, but I though doing some master photoshop action and a believable interview would have been too much. I thought I gave a clear hint with JimmyRusselCA

    Thanks for popping by Trish. Please let the team know that I am loving the way you are improving the game. If you only add a hotseat option so we can play by post/e-mail...

    CA might have moderated those posts out (from www.totalwar.com). I remember seeing some 'analysis' of the advantages of Medieval 3 settings over Rome 2 in a post embedded in a larger thread. That was about a week ago. I could not find the post anymore today.

    BTW, this thread was front-page news here for a few days too ;)

    Here's one on twcenter.net (April 1st as well though): http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...al-3-Announced

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    I love the detail put into the cover - maybe perhaps we can do a M3TW cover contest in the nearby future?

    Sure, we can do that. What do you think sounds like a good reward for such a contest?
