The Medieval II: Total War Video & Screenshot thread

[Ludens]

In an effort to compile all visual information available on Medieval II: Total War I have collected the links to all videos and screenshots in this thread. I hope this will prove interesting for new members. If I have overlooked anything, feel free to let me know.


Videos

1) Official Trailers
The first official trailer is available in high resolution and low resolution. This video features an English city assaulted by Turks and Timurids and mainly shows the animations and the improved graphical engine. (It can also be found at GameTrailers.) A second trailer featuring the English fighting the French and Turks, can be found here.
A trailer has been released through GameArena (members only) and 3D Gamers.
Mostly recycled material, but also includes a short shot of the Aztecs in a fight (thanks blacksmoke).

2) M2:TW Introductory Videos
A series of movies giving an overview of the game. So far three chapters have been released. Chapter one is available at Gamespot (download and high res version requires membership), WorthPlaying (high res), 3D Gamers (high res) and GameTrailers (high res and low res).
Chapter two: Cities & Castles is available at Gamespot (download and high res version requires membership) and at 3D Gamers in low res and high res.
Chapter three: Religion & Crusades is available at Strategy Informer, 3D Gamers and gametrailers. (I am quite sure I missed a few download locations. Feel free to point them out to me.)

Also in the same series there is an interview with Ian Roxborough on InsideGamer.

3) Gamespot videos
One of the largest collection, available in various resolutions, but sadly the high-res versions are available only to registered members. You occasionally have to endure advertising before the movie starts as well. The nomenclature is not very clear, but this site contains the official trailers, introductory videos, and many shots of battles, agents in action and the campaignmap. The first part of the agent series is also available for download at GameShell and 3D Gamers in high res. Also three other movies of agents in action are available at 3D Gamers as well. (Strangely, I don't always get these movies to work, but Todorp has provided links to their download locations in this post.)

4) Gamestar video
Gameplay video with a German reviewer actually playing the two battles that can be viewed in the Gamespot official movie.

5) 4Gamers.net video
Long but low-res video of a wallscreen at the E3 featuring a city assault.

6) Video of unknown origin provided by Cudakite
Short, low-res E3 gameplay demonstration.

7) E3 Insider interview
Short (very short) interview with Jeff van Dyck.

8) Gameswelt video
A long, low quality video of the M2:TW demo. Consists mainly of material from other videos.

9) YouTube
Not an official video, but this remix contained several shots I had not seen before.
