i give this game in 2025 : 0/10.
===
i played medieval total war 2 a lot when i was a kid, and i really enjoyed it.
i never played this one as a kid, but i imagine that even if i did i would not have enjoyed it even back then !
medieval total war 2 was made 6 years after this one but it's miles better than this one.
the UI is bad, the controls are bad, the AI is bad, basically the whole thing is very bad.
I can imagine that people who played it back then might have enjoyed it because there was nothing like it.
honestly i think big companies should make games this old FREE for everyone since it is UNPLAYABLE now.
these kind of games should be called MUSEUM games and be free for all to try.
i just wanted to see where the total war games started from, which i did.
i finished one campaign in like 4 hours and it is really not fun nor entertaining.
i was basically TOLERATING the whole thing just to see what it is like.
even if you played this very game as a kid i don't think you will enjoy it.
if you buy this game it is like you are paying to be annoyed, lol.
