Customer Reviews of Medieval Battle Collection
historical warfare This game is the epitome of medieval war. There is Dark Age warfare and Middle Ages warfare. There are many things in this game that the avid medieval reader will recognize. If you want a mostly historically accurate game, I suggest this game for you. There is even the option to forgo commanding battles yourself and keep the game focused on the strategic level. I only have one problem with this game: the strategic portion is single-player only. That prevents this game from being the best strategy game I ever played. Of course, there's nothing more satisfying than outmaneuvering your friends on the battlefield and then mercilessly slaughtering their captured soliders with a voracious war cry just like your ancient ancestors and laughing at them!
Great upgrade for an already great game.
Medieval Total War just gets better. You can play the game like always with access to more factions, or you can play just on the British Isles. Rampage and destroy with the Vikings. Control and unify with the Scots. It has all of the great game play that exists with the original with great additions. The best change is that you can organize your reserves as well as your original troops. Now if you're defending during a huge battle and you know that your archers will be out of ammo after the first few on slots, set up your first reserves to be archers. It allows greater depth of thought to large engagements. What a blast!
Only one complaint
Since the excellentnessnessness of this game has been expounded upon, I have only one beef with the Battle Collection edition.

>You get one game and one expansion pack (if you didn't read the product description). Without the expansion pack, there is an insanely unfair (but ludicrously fun) axe-wielding light cavalry available only to the Egyptians. It is nearly impossible for the Europeans to defeat them - until the advent of armored spearmen, that is. Using these six-legged terrors (two for the axeman, four for the horse, brainiacs) and a complex network of ships, it is possible for your men to enjoy a meal of baba ghanoush while visiting Sweden. So cool.....

>You may notice that this is not, truthfully, what happened. I tell you that this does not, truthfully, matter. The game is a riot. If you think these units are unfair, just install the expansion pack and they go away. THAT, my friends, is my only complaint.

>Oh, yeah, download the patch so that all of your generals don't die at the age of 50. Kinda stinks when that happens. Then again, a 170-year-old general is sort of anti-historical too.
