Today we return to Medieval 2 in 2020, the video initially was meant to see if it's still a great Total War game but I've found one of the most overpowered strategy's in the game ever. It's glorious!

Same. It was a worthy entry to the franchise after Rome 1, which was hard to beat. I was 17 at the time Med2 released, and completely and utterly broke. I had no money. I had to pirate it to play. Made up for it later though, since then I bought a physical copy + a STEAM copy.

@N0TYALC 2 года назад

I always come back to medieval 2, mostly because of the fantastic characters. The game is honestly more about raising great generals and kings than it is about conquest. I’ve literally paid off factions with 8-10 regions before just to get particularly great kings married off to princesses worthy of them

Ive played m2tw so much, now my campaign usually justs consists of picking a faction that has princesses and literally just inbreeding and see how far it can go. The difficulty comes with killing off certain family members so the heir/kings daughters will spawn as princesses instead of just maidens which do not appear on the campaign map. Which i mean its not too far removed from what they actually did back then

Currently watching a CK2 series. It's on part 12 only one of which was shorter than an hour. And it's great. While this might be expecting a bit too much, religiously sticking to the single video system (of course including the 20 minutes dogma) limits, what you can do. Just let your hair down and do a bit of what you feel like, even if the views drop in a second part. Other example are the Yogs Civ (and alike) videos. It created some quite good serieses.
