Includes Medieval II: Total War and the expansion pack Kingdoms Medieval II: Total War is a truly epic strategy game that puts you in charge of one of the powers of the middle ages, allowing you to lead your soldiers on the field of battle, as well as plan the expansion of your empire across the Old World.

Medieval II: Total War offers the complete warfare experience, with realistic battle mechanics and historical accuracy. You will need to master the same tactics that actual field commanders used in real combat situations, and you will do it with exactly the same sorts of troops, armour and weapons that took to the field of battle in the middle ages.
