BattleAxe Info & Download
BattleAxe, a “true” Total War experience, challenges players to achieve victory over a large selection of campaigns and factions. Diplomacy has been axed, all factions are “at war”. It’s a “mean” Medieval II streamlined for swift gameplay. Merchants, priests, and ships are omitted by default but may be simply added depending on your gameplay preference. Land bridges connect all continents and offer new strategic opportunities and threats so beware. Whether you have a weekend or a week you’ll find a fight in BattleAxe.
