For some reason I had stop playing MTW for about two years.
Got bored two weeks ago and re-installed the whole thing.
Thought that I had played this game inside out but the surprise was amazingly good. Ok the graphism is not that magnificient but it is much more fun than RTW which I gave up after a few campaigns ...
Good music, no silly assassination/spying animation and the AI does give you a hard time on the battlefield ... My first try almost came to an abrupt end with my good old spearmen running away at the first sight of the enemy![]()
Silly me to forget that strange princes should not be left in charge of vanillia spearmen .... I even enjoyed the battle agaisnt the horde with the hallebardiers killing an insane amount of MHC in the forest of lithuania (ok waiting until all the horse archers and warriors had run out of arrows shooting trees was not so fascinating...)
Only the diplomacy remains a weak point with the AI always refusing all cease-fire and alliance and setting up a world conspiration between whoever has a border or ship near you once you get dominant (which makes HRE campaigns so hard and fun in the beginning) ...
Anyhow, probably the best buy I have ever made in the field of PC-games. Suggest you re-try it once in a while. It is totally worth it.
